Presumably you've checked the md5 of your iso & reburned at the lowest possible speed on good branded media.

 

This being the case, have you tried the DVD on another machine?

 

Beyond that, I can only assume there's something else you're doing wrong, without being able to stand & look over your shoulder, there is no way to tell.

 

 

It seems you're just unlucky.

i have read on irc that this problem(error) is it is trying to boot from hd not the dvd. does your bios have a boot selector menu. like pressing f8 when u first start the computer. if it does then press that and choose your dvd to boot from. i had this problem also and it booted by doing this.

I would like to add that elas123's statement is what fixed the install on my Aspire One....I was getting the exact same error, but until I set the USB CDROM drive as higher in the BIOS boot order, I _could_ not get it to boot from the DVD by using F12.
