dsl error message

In an attempt to recover files from my corrupted windows vista os 
computer I downloaded DSL 4.4.10iso dated 18.11.1008 and burned to 
disc.  Loading the disc in my computer I get a full screen with DSL 
advert for 50mb Live Bizcard CD and a"boot" option.  On pressing "enter" 
I get two "penguin" icons top left of screen and a stationary cursor.  
On re-loading DSL and pressing "F2" and at the "boot" option typing 
"failsafe" or "expert" text scrolls down the screen and stops at the 
line "ide0:BM-DMA at 0x4000-0x4007,Bios setting:hda:DMA,hdb:pio. On the 
next line is a flashing cursor which does not respond to any key.  Near 
the top of the screen is the following message " An unexpected IO-APIC 
was found.   If this kernel release is less than three months old please 
report this to [email protected].  I await your response.
