I downloaded the Linux Backtrack live cd from here:

http://www.remote-exploit.org/backtrack.html

in the form of an ISO image , so i burned it in MagicISO then inserted it into the computer and all i got was a popup box saying this:
i also tried burning this as an image in Nero and inserted the disk and got the same thing. Can anyone help me with this ?
-----------------------------------

What it sounds like is Big Tony didn't boot from the CD, just put it in the drive while the machine was already booted.
Restarting the machine with that disk in the drive should've done the trick. Am I right, Big Tony?

yup...lol although that didnt work for the last cd i had burned of linux, whenever i would start it up the screen would just stay black so i figuired it wouldnt work this time but it did :P
