F7 DVD problem -

[Jay Goodman]

Check the sha1sum of the iso you downloaded and see if you download is 
corrupt.  If the sha1sum is correct, you might just have a bad 
burn/disk, try reburning it.  Also, check you bios boot order. It sounds 
obvious, but do you have your cd/dvd drive before your hard drives in 
the boot order.
