Did you do a md5sum check on the downloaded iso file, and was it correct ?
Did you burn the iso file to disk in the usual way (which is incorrect) or did you select the option to Burn Image (eg In Nero) and then select the iso file.

I can't use any commands and the SHIFT thing will not work it happens just after BIOS reads the CD. Howwere all computers have had Sme Server 7 rc1 installed on them and it worked ok
I use Alochol 120% and never had a problem before it also would work when nero would stuffup
And I have been downloading the right file from Australia and USA mirror

Is your architecture 586, if so you need to run the i586 switch, see the release notes.
If you want help you will need to answer the questions.
Did you do a md5sum check on the downloaded iso file before burning to CD, and was it correct ?
What was the name of the file you downloaded ?
Do a Google on ISOLINUX: Disc error 32

Is it really that difficult for you to answer this simple question ?

I must of miss that one (Well we all do sometimes)
the same error came up on all files download even the one I download wile at tafe
"md5sum: C:\smeserver.iso: no properly formatted MD5 checksum lines found"
Yes I did read the release notes
I do not like to do upgrades with linux I have used killdisk on the hard drives before trying to install SME.
I was using the shift thing before I made the first post I have tryed tapping the shift key and holding the shift key down when the computers were still running the BIOS SETUP I could not get to the boot prompt because the first thing to come up is the error!
Please note: I did try chaneing hardware one at a time I have given up and seeing if I can fix it and am trying to ask someone now. I ended up pulling apart computers that I did not won't to for tests. before posting, just to know.

So I'm assuming you are using a Windows version of md5sum, and that result suggests that the downloaded file is faulty or incomplete, therefore it's understandable that you are getting errors.
You need to download again and make sure the md5sum result matches that posted on the download site for the iso file.
Only then it is OK to burn the image to CD.

I had serious problems downloading one of the beta versions at work, finally got a good download using a different ISP at home!
Next version downloaded fine at work.
the md5sum has to be correct!

I am going to use a downloading software to download the iso and hope that works.

You would be better off using the sme command line.
Save this command to a file and you can reuse it whenever you want to download the next iso that is available. By using rsync you will save a lot of download as the download will be compared with your original file and only what is different will need to be downloaded.
It won't help much the first time i fyou don;t already have an old iso, as you will have to download the whole iso, but it may help if you only get partially completed, as you won't need to download the bit you already have again. You could use the faulty iso file you already have as that will probably save a lot of download time.
pico smeiso
(type the following all on one line and save, make sure the space & dot are included at the end. ctrl o to save ctrl x to exit)
rsync --recursive --verbose --archive --partial --progress rsync://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/smeserver/releases/7/iso/smeserver.iso .
copy your old iso file (with the name of smeserver.iso) to a clean folder on sme, and copy the script above to that folder
then do
. smeiso
from that folder.
It will download the new iso from ibiblio
Run
md5sum smeserver.iso
afterwards to check the md5sum & it must match exactly the md5sum shown at ibiblio
