Ok so today i downloaded LINUX, trying to install it on my pc. I burned it to a cd and ran it on my computer, i thought it was working but DPMS DOS popped up....
My system will NOT run ANY bootable disks. Even manufactured. I checked my BIOS and made sure it was set for disk. i thought maybe it was my BIOS and thought of TRYING to reinstall it. Im running
Emachine, 2005

Which flavor of Linux did you download?
What program did you use to burn the ISO to the disk?
What speed did you use to burn the image?
Do you have two optical drives?
Did the optical drive ever work?
When you changed the boot order in BIOS, did you save changes (F10)?
