    Did you set the BIOS to boot from CD?

    If you burnt it as an ISO, it should boot. Maybe you made a mistake burning the CD. Otherwise I am lost too.

    Maybe a bad disk? I'm going to re-burn it and see.

    EasyBCD is a APP you install in Windows, not a bootable CD.

    Redownload the ISO, & new DVD at a slow speed.
    or make USB stick.

    Burned it as an .exe and it still won't run. Would that explain why it won't run?
