[K12OSN] Unable to boot from CD to install K12 LSTP 4.0.1

[Doug Simpson]

Did you buy the CD's already made or did you make them yourself. If you 
bought them, you may need to set your BIOS to boot from a floppy ( you'll 
need to check this either way. . .)

If you downloaded the ISO files. . .

Did you just copy the ISO to the CDs? or did you use the ISO image option 
to make the CDs?

If you just copied the ISO image to the CD that won't work.

Your CD writer software should have an option to make a CD from an ISO 
image.  That is how you will need to do it.
