i have an iso image i burned using disk utility. i can see the proper folders on the dvd, so i know the info is there. when i hold down the C key the dvd doesnt boot. any ideas what might be wrong?

[Hi I'm Ben]

You didn't burn it correctly.

Go buy OS X

I'll be silly and assume that you are trying to boot Linux and not some dodgy copy of OS X.

Try holding Option (Alt) down at startup, you then get a menu, and can chose the boot media.

I am trying to boot ubuntu, and disk utility said it was burned successfully.

Right. Now, try booting the computer holding the alt (option) key and select the cd from the boot manager.

I only get the option to boot the hd, and i have burned the iso three times. i am going to pay for the cd's from ubuntu.

Are you sure you downloaded a version that was supposed to be bootable on your machine?

i finally found a ubuntu forum and the problem is with the ubuntu software. seems it will be about two months before this is fixed.
