Am I correct in saying that you're trying to do this on a server?

When you get a live CD from a website, it will be in a .iso file. If
you're burning using Nero, you need to select "burn from image", select
the ISO file and burn.

To use the disc, put the disc in the drive and reset your machine. You
cannot run a live CD from inside of Windows.

This is not a live CD - this is a distro.

You can't find test3 as test3 doesn't exit.

Are you trying to create a dual boot machine? If you are, create a
partition for Windows, install Win32 first, set it up. Next install
Linux. You will get to a section which asks how you want to partition
the drive. You need to keep the Windows partition and say to use the
rest for Linux and to use grub as the bootloader. Install Linux at the
end Linux will restart. You will be presented with a boot screen which
should identify both partitions, one says Windows, the other Linux.
Select Linux and let it go through it's final set up stages.

Job done.

TTFN
