sorry if this is the wrong section, but i have 2 problems. every single livecd i have (knoppix, 2004.0,2004.1) boots just perfectly, but they dont have wi-fi support, so i decided to get the 2004.2 disk. well... it's not booting at all, and it is saying that it's trying to boot from cd but it goes straight into my current OS, winblows XtraPoppy

Maybe the CD burned bad? Or the download was corupted?
You could try to burn the image again or even download the image again and burn the new one. This worked for me in the past.

Maybe you should ask in the "Installing Gentoo" forum.
