Wich iso?

In what hardware?

Use IDE HDD master and DVD slave.

Use PS/2 Key and Mouse.

Disable SMART from Bios and set boot order.

Start and hit F8 and type -v press enter and give us error report.

 

Give us some hardware details and have a good luck on your try.

Perhaps you should change your jumper settings. Search the forums also, there is information about this somewhere out there.
