Problem installing Fedora 3 :(

| I downloaded the Fedora discs, as below and burned the fiat one to cd+rw
(assuming that it would be ok to use that instead of cd+r)
I have a Windows XP home box with a blank partition ready to install Unix.
When I boot the machine with the cd in, instead of booting from the cd rom
it just goes straight to windows as normal. Any ideas?
Thanks in anticipation

| Did you go into your CMOS setup and change your device boot order
settings accordingly. I set mine to A:, CD-ROM, hard disk 0, in that
order. Also, you should always use a CD-R disk for bootable media, not
CD-RW.

Did you use the "burn from image" function of your CD burning software
instead of copying the ISO file to the CD? You need a burning program,
the built-in CD burning function of WinXP can't handle ISO files.
