    Hi there,
    I bet that your CD/DVD Drive won't read the Disc at all, thus the Live CD will not boot. You should try to download the ISO once again, then verify the MD5 sum (there are instructions at http://fedoraproject.org) to ensure that the ISO was downloaded without errors and of course go and  burn it at a very low speed (1-4x at maximum) afterwards.

    By the way, there is Fedora 15 out there already. IF your laptop has less than 640MB RAM, you can still install it by using the Installation DVD instead of the Live CD.

          I am glad you did, but next time could you be more specific please?
          So, If you were trying to boot Fedora from a USB stick, you either didn't change the BIOS boot sequence correctly, or the "Fedora Live USB Installer" didn't extract the ISO to your USB stick successfuly (It happens sometimes).

          Can you please mention how your problem was fixed(so if other users encounter the same problem, they might find the possible solution)?

             it was actually  13 beta.
            14 is the most stable Fedora ever!!!
