    You downloaded the i386 iso file. Did you 'burn' it to CD or just copy the iso file to it? You have to use a CD burning software program to burn the iso file to the CD in order to get a LiveCD from which you can boot.

        You should only have to either double-click the file and it will 'un-zip' it, or right-click the file and select to 'un-zip' it. Either way will get the .iso file that you need.

        Do you have a CD burning software program? If you don't you need to download one. I used ImgBurn which is free and easy to use. You don't have to make any setting changes once installed. Just use the defaults. But, read through the instructions first - always a good practice - before you begin.
