How do I use Memtest86 on a CD?

I have downloaded the .iso file and burned it on a CD, but when I try to boot from it I just end up in Windows (XP).

Did you change the bootup order in your bios?

Yes. I can boot from the XP cd to reformat, so I know it should work.

I just burned the iso with nero and it booted up just like any other boot cd. Nothing special.

Hmm. I used XP to burn it. I'll try it w/Nero. Thx.

Once you burn the CD, view it in Explorer. What files do you see? When I did this, there is a BOOT folder and 3 files inside it, BOOT.cat, MEMTEST.bin and MEMTEST.img. I used Easy CD Creator 5.something. Hope this helps.
