<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Keith, I realize you probably know these things but since you were not specific about what you did, I will throw them out:<br><br>How did you create it in Windows?  You cannot just copy the iso to the dvd.  Windows 7 is the first Windows to understand burning an ISO.  Before that you had to use a 3rd party application.  On Windows 7 you should be able to right click on the .iso file and make the appropriate selection.<br>
<br></div>The next thing is how did you try booting from the DVD?  Did you set your BIOS to boot from the CD/DVD drive before the hard drive?  If not you would very likely have to press a key during boot up to enter a Boot Menu.  That key differs by manufacturer but is commonly F12 (or F11, F9, F8, ESC, or TAB).  On some Lenovos it is the blue Think<something> key.<br>
