does the computer you want to install CentOS on have a DVD drive or CD drive?
If it has a DVD drive use [and burn it onto a DVD] - CentOS-5.1-i386-bin-DVD.iso http://mirror.averse.net/centos/5.1/isos/i386/CentOS-5.1-i386-bin-DVD.iso If it had a CD drive use [and burn it onto CD - well, a total of 6] - CentOS-5.1-i386-bin-1of6.iso http://mirror.averse.net/centos/5.1/isos/i386/CentOS-5.1-i386-bin-1of6.iso [and the rest, up to 6of6]
Probably check out something like this... http://www.howtoforge.com/installation-guide-centos5.1-desktop
When you said your going to work in Linux, I just guesses that this would be a desktop system.
Google is your friend, and also check things like the CentOS wiki http://wiki.centos.org/
Subjects are great things too ;-)

Hi rajeev
http://mirror.averse.net/centos/5.1/isos/i386/ Please tell me which files I need to burn?
Since you use dvd, this is the ONE you need.
http://mirror.averse.net/centos/5.1/isos/i386/CentOS-5.1-i386-bin-DVD.iso
burn this ISO and set the boot squence of BIOS to dvd
Then , boot it.
Is your DVD-drive a SATA-model?

Sounds like your system hasn't ever been up so it isn't down.
The archives for all the major distributions (RedHat, Fedora. CentOS, Ubuntu) have addressed your questions many times. Not to mention that these distributions wikis and FAQs have address these issues as well
Your issues appear to be.
1) What images to download 2) How to burn these images to that they are bootable from windows 3) How to set the CMOS boot order so it boots from the CD or DVD media (once it's properly burned)
This is not an URGENT HELP issue this is a "I didn't research a thing and want to be led by the hand" issue.

Look here:
Hi, others have by now addressed your issue, so I'll now have my say.
Please in future, use a better title than the one you have chosen - it will help others who are searching for a solution to problems similar to what you were having.
You are lucky this mailing list is so laidback and forgiving as to tolerate such a silly title. I know other mailing lists and forums where you would be warned by the maintainers/admins and even banned for doing it more than once.

Indeed. Further, I would refer the original poster to this thread detailing how to ask questions:
http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=14274&forum=4...
Particularly the section entitled "Use a descriptive title for your thread" which covers use of the word "Urgent" and excessive use of exclamation marks!

Ned

Indeed, I generally won't even read messages with a title like that because I have better things to do than read every message. I generally only read messages where the description mentions something I may have experience with or am interested in. Otherwise it goes in the trash.

I used to do that, too, but I have found that I learn many things for reading posts about which I know very little. That's what lurking is for....
However, I reiterate what Mr. Steward says - follow the guidelines if you really want to get help, especially in the future.
Just a friendly suggestion from
