aleksandar, I want you to check a couple of things.

1. Did you change the BIOS boot order to boot from the CD?

2. What Linux distro did you download?

3. How did you burn the CD? Burning .ISO image files is different from burning a regular data CD. You need to use the "burn image to disk" or such similar option so that the disk is bootable.
