Grub CD is one good one.On my (work-only) Windows machine, Roxio fails to burn a standard Debian LiveCD ISO to a CD-R disk using a DVD/CD-R/W drive. Most frustrating.I guess you found one reason to migrate to grub ;-)
Probably.An Ubuntu LiveCD, chroot and Google allowed me solved my problem, while still using the devil I know.
