I am trying to dual boot Linux and Windows 10 (boo, I know. it came with the computer) on my 1 TB hard disk. I am using an HP Envy 700 desktop. I made a live CD and set my boot order in BIOS right. I put the disk in and tried to boot up the computer. Windows started. I then used f9 when booting to force the disk drive. I got
>Boot disk not found or disk failed.
the disks are brand new, mint condition, and were also made by HP. if you need more info on the computer or situation, just ask. I simply want to upgrade to Linux
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/LInux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

nice copypasta, but not very helpful.
but hey..at least it isn't "install gentoo"

Install Gentoo.
In all seriousness, have you tried verifying that the CD actually works? I'd try it in a VM first to verify you can get to the install process before putting it in your actual computer

I used the same ISO for a WM. it appears to work.I also successfully burned the file to the disk
EDIT: 64 bit processor. same error though
Try with a pen drive. Use Rufus to burn your iso. Usually USB seem to wotk better than CD/DVD
