What happens when you actually go to boot from the CD? Black screen thing again? Make sure the disk is actually bootable, also, try USB stick boot.
yup, black screen with blinking cursor. And I have booted from this disk before to reformat my pc. I'll try USB stick boot, last time I tried that I couldn't get it to work correctly tho, I used cdrom instead.
