Hello smh,
thanks for your replies, but when I use Nero to burn it or even burn it as
an iso using PowerIso it doesn't boot. My system does not recognise the dvd
as a bootable device, even tho I have cdrom in BIOS as bootable.
Thanks


I royally misunderstood your question. Thought the .iso was already
bootable. If the .iso is that of Windows program, you don't want to make
it bootable because 'bootable' runs in DOS. What kind of program is in
the .iso? Perhaps you are thinking of Auto Run?

I have a 2.7gb iso file which I want to burn to a dvd and make that
dvd bootable. I gather doing a botable dvd is different from a
bootable cd, so any guidance would be appreciated.

What software, would Nero do it ok, or do I need something else, etc,
etc? The file is aready an iso file with a boot folder included

Thanks

There is no difference. Both cd and dvd follow the same El Torito
bootable format specification.

Just burn the bootable .iso to DVD with Nero: [Recorder, Burn Image].

Mike Richter's Unadulterated White Lie
======================================
======================
From: Mike Richter (the Slimiest Lying Friggin SOB)

Subject: 4x CDRW's in 12x Writer?
I have tested non-HighSpeed erasables in my 12x HighSpeed
and 8x non-HighSpeed Plextors and find substantially higher
error rates at 4x in the HighSpeed drives.
======================

The above is an unadulterated white LIE. There was NO way Mike
Richter
could have found "error rates". First, there was NO error rate
measuring software supporting Plextors. Second, even if there was
such a software, it could not have found error rates -- because
the above Plextors do NOT report C1 errors.

Wow! What a slimy friggin SOB!
