I've never used magic iso, don't have details on it. But I suggest that you might want to follow the documentation link near the top of this page and read the downloading faq which contains many burning and booting tips and will likely cover your problem whatever it is. Pleae post back and let us know what you find to have gone wrong in your case.

Verifying of md5 checksum and burning a CD at slow speed are important.

i can help here...
checklist:
=> Make sure your disk is bootable (get the software IsoBuster, install, load cd and see if a bootable selection comes up in the left panel...)
=> Configure your BIOS to load the CD as first priority
=> Put the cd in the drive before you turn on your computer (the easiest way to do this if you are doing a cold start [just turning on your computer] is as soon as your computer starts to load up the BIOS, put the CD in your drive and then restart your computer)
hope this helps
PS: did you check your download with the MD5 checksums it came with to make sure your download is complete...
