Re: Creating CD's from ISO's
Hi Jack,
since you are talking about CD-formats (iso9660,joliet), my first guess
would be that you had your cd burning software create a new cd image
containing the donloaded image as its only file. This is wrong! Try to
pursuade the program to _not_ create an image, but burn your downloaded
image _as is_ to the CD.
HTH,
Heinrich

Oh sure, the icon show's up in Explorer from the CD icon as the OS that is recorded on the cd, but they will not boot to the cd. Yes, I have the CD-ROM as my first boot device in BIOS.
