I'm totally new to Linux, but ready to give it a try. My other computer is currently running WinXP but I'm hoping to replace it with Fedora. So, I downloaded all four ISOs of Fedora Core 2, burned their images onto four CDs, and tried booting off Disk 1. However, every time the computer boots, the CD-ROM scans but then proceeds to load WinXP. My boot order is as follows: (1) CD-ROM, (2) floppy, (3) hard drive, (4) network boot. What am I doing wrong?

I'm installing Fedora on a machine I don't care much about, so anything to get it installed is fine with me. How can I completely format the hard drive to remove all partitions and start fresh for Fedora?

I did. Then I tried it without the GUI and it worked. So I'm trying the GUI install again with "everything" included in Fedora.

Woohoo! It's working! Thanks guys! But I'm not gone yet. Chances are I'll be back.

As Dan said, Nero is very good. I use it all the time. There is also another product called CD Burner XP Pro, if you are using Win XP. It can be found here. Just what I was looking for.

Thanks for the response. I did the md5sum checks, all is good. Apparently the Magic CD Burner included with Magic ISO Maker doesn't seem to be working properly. After I burn an image, the visible burn on the CD takes up a very small portion of it (not nearly enough to be 600 megs). Any ISO image burner recommendations?

I'm using Magic ISO Maker. I made sure I burned the image. I tried it a few different ways; extracting the ISO to my hard drive, then burning the whole directory (including subs) to a CD-R. I also tried using Magic ISO Maker's built in ISO image burner, which asks for an ISO file and burns the image automatically to a CD. I guess my big question is what the folder tree should look like on my CD. The readme file says to use mnt/cdrom/, but that didn't work for me - and neither did simply using the structure in the ISO. One thing I'm hung up on; Disk 1 has a /images dir that has a boot.iso. Do I need to do anything with that? I simply burned it along with the rest of the files in disk1.iso to a CD. Keep in mind, boot.iso is the only ISO in disk1.iso. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
