Kirk, I now have a cd that works. It boots on one pc but not the one I want to use it on. The problematic pc just goes to a blank screen as soon as the boot sequence starts. I have formatted the hard drive on this pc and it was having registry problems before...windows xp. So my problem is specific to this pc. Any suggestions?

This file is an image of the CD that you want. Many times when you create a CD, the CD burning software just copies the file to the CD as a file. What is needed is for the CD burning software to be told to use the .iso to create the new (boot-able) CD from the information within the .iso file. If you look at a directory of your new disk and only see one .iso file, then you need to create another CD using the "create CD from an image file" feature of your CD burning software.
