Title of the post a bit misleading as I havent got that far yet!

I have hold of all 3 correctly burnt iso images (using Roxio Easy CD Creator) and the discs look fine after browsing through them. All MD5SUMS are cool also.

However, when I reboot with the first cd-rom in the drive all I get is the option of which OS I want to go into (I have RH7.2 and Windoze'98) i.e. Grub appears without the disc getting a look in!

I checked my BIOS settings to see if it boots from cd first, which it does (which I knew anyway as I installed RH7.2 the same way I'm trying to get it to upgrade to 7.3).

So, next I try to get the f***er to boot using a boot disc. It starts to do this and then says the disc isn't working properly. It was about two months ago (i know diskettes are notoriously dodgy tho :)

I downloaded the images from www.mirror.ac.uk - has anyone had any problems with stuff from there? Am I being amazingly stoopid or am I just having a semi-n00bs bad luck?

Thanks in advance.

Check your CD burning software's instructions on how to burn the iso rather than the individual files as you apparently have them. The iso is bootable and has to be burnt as such.
