Problem with boot.
 
Hello, I have a little tiny problem with booting iATKOS 5i. I put the disc in then reboot and it asks me to click any key but after i press a key it loads a while then my computer reboots again and the process starts all over again. Does anybody know wwhats wrong? I checked the DVD and verified it so im pretty sure its not the dvd.:'(

The thing is for you to tell us what is shown as the last message, before the reboot.

Its normal that ISOs show up as very small, because they contain a small ISO/Joliet filesystem (the bootloader) and a big HFS filesystem (the installer), and most windows utils wont see the HFS part.
Also, what it says while loading in -v its important, knowing that it reboots "after 3 sentences" wont be helpful to anybody to find out whats going wrong...
