I burned a debian distro to a DVD RW and the DVD won't boot to install the distro, if I insert the disc while on OS, the cdrom won't mount. Also if I open gparted it stays "scanning all devices..." forever.
I've also noticed that the were mounted 3 discs or partions after burning the disc.
update: if i run sudo mount /dev/sr0 the terminal stays waiting forever
update: it shows this mounted discs or partitions but the cdrom/optical drive can't mount the dvd nor can be detected

If this is about burning a Kali CD, please edit and make that clear. Different distributions have different installation approaches, so Debian might work while Kali won't, or Kali might work and Ubuntu won't etc. So if this is about Kali, let us know. Also, clarify exactly what you burned, where you got it from and how you burned it.

[1] - Verify your boot order in your BIOS to make sure your DVD drive is before your harddisk.
To do so;
- When cpu starts type F-12 or f10 to launch BIOS set -up.
- If you search bios boot for your computer hardware you will find the
shortcut key.
if that does not work
[2] - Try to create a second live cd with a different application, k3b, gnome-disk-utlitity etc
and before you install again
[3] - Check your checksum on your dvd disk to make sure file is not corrupted
Hope this helps!

If your system is booting the main OS after reading the DVD for like 10-20 seconds. It means there is an issue with the ISO format itself. Probably during install, you need to restart the install and please try to use k3b. It is my fav for dvds!

@IporSircer please don't use that question as a dupe target just because the OP mentions Kali! That question should either never be used as a dupe target (but only as something to point people to) or, if you must use it, only use it as a dupe target if the question is clearly about someone trying to use Kali as a regular OS without the required knowledge.

If this is about burning a Kali CD, please edit and make that clear. Different distributions have different installation approaches, so Debian might work while Kali won't, or Kali might work and Ubuntu won't etc. So if this is about Kali, let us know. Also, clarify exactly what you burned, where you got it from and how you burned it.

Finally, I strongly urge you to have a look at the Why is Kali hard post. If you are having trouble with creating an installation CD, and you don't know what those mounted disks are, Kali is probably not the right place to start. There's no reason why you should know any of this, of course, but Kali is a tool designed for experts and is not easy to use for non-experts, and this question suggests you aren't an expert.
