I also tried the CD's from vm with same result. My MB doesn't have UEFI bios, so that can't b the reason. i dont know what is. Av followed the guide to the letter incase ur wondering. Any help would be really appreciated

Thanks.

Re: CD/USB doesn't boot setup

just to make sure, have you actually selected your cd drive and/or usb as the primary boot-medium when booting up your PC? this can be done in the BIOS settings normally, or by selecting it specifically at boot time.
