robot180: What the readme probably means is that it wants you to boot from the CD. The press the 'c' key down probably will accomplish that on *some* motherboards, but not all.

What you need to do is this: get into the BIOS. once you here your mobo beep after pressing the button (the mobo beep, not your speakers) hit the delete key (you only need to do it once, but I usually mash it untill I see the BIOS come up) and then you will get into the BIOS. it looks like a really old school computer display. search through the options untill you find the boot order, usually its defaulted to floppy, then Hard drive. What you need to do is set it so that it boots from your CD drive first. Then, save and exit, put in your CD, turn it on, and it will boot to your CD.
