OK, so I am trying to install it on my old windows XP SP2 machine. I burned the iso to a DVD, put it in the drive, restart the computer....and nothing happens. I have tried a bunch of different key combinations for accessing my BIOS with no luck.

Any ideas?

Edit: OK, so I wrote the ISO to a USB drive as well. In my my newer Vista machine, they both load up the Windows 7 menu fine, so my other machine should do the same.

On the older XP machine, I got into the BIOS, set up the boot order to be from the DVD first, and enabled booting from USB as well. Now, when I boot up the computer, it shows a blinking cursor for a minute or two, then shows "Invalid or damaged bootable partition".

Hmmmm, this is confusing. On one computer, it works as it should. On the other, no.
