You will need to tell your computer to boot from the DVD (not from the hard disk); how you do that varies from machine to machine. You may need to change a setting in the BIOS setup, or you may be able to get a "one-time" boot menu.

For example, on this desktop if I press Esc during the first screen the BIOS puts up when I switch on, I get a menu of choices to boot from hard disk, optical drive, USB device etc.

But on my other machine running Fedora, it is F9, not Esc that I need to press.

In short, check the documentation that came with the machine.

did you choose burn from iso file or something like this. If you chose data disc and copied the ISO file to the disk, it will not work.

Otherwise you probably have to change some BIOS settings like marriedto said.
