Hi, im trying to install puppy linux on an old machine, i am installing via cd because the BIOS doesn't accept usb boot, and i get this message ( Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!) every time i try to boot into the system with the cd, is there any solution to this error?

Need a little detailed info.

What Puppy version?
How exactly did you burn the iso image to the CD?
You did burn it as an image burn?
If you look at what is on the CD.
If burned correctly, you should see a bunch of files.

What is the computer?
Make and model?
How much RAM is in it?

puppy version: xenialpup 7.5
I burned the image from a MacBook, using the default burner, because balenaetcher wasn't recognizing the cd,
yes it was a image burn, i can see the files inside it

Computer: Acer Aspire 3000
there is 1982MB of ram

Wording matters.
Are you saying you can look at what is on the CD and you see a bunch of different files on it?
Are you saying you can see the Xenialpup 7.5 iso file on the CD and see the files that are in the iso?
