Topic: First timer help please!

Hi, I am trying to get Gparetd up and running.  I simply want to extend my C drive into unallocated space.  I'm downloading the program staright to a cd rw, then attempting a one time boot from it (restarting, f12, one time boot)  However, windows is just starting up as normal.  I have Win XP Home, SP 2.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

I saved to desktop, right clicked the icon and selected send to D:.  When that didn't work I went to the dowload page, right clicked and selected 'save target as' to D:, that didn't work either.  What would you say is the best way to burn an iso file?

ISO must be burnt as image file.
If you use NERO : http://www.wizardskeep.org/mainhall/tutor/neroiso.html
