Hello smh,
When I load the said iso file into PowerIso, the option to add boot in formation
is greyed out, so I assume that the iso already has boot information , because
it has a boot folder, but then I am not sure if boot info is in that folder,
as I don't know what boot info is required.

The iso is a windows app/program which I want to install on a free partition,
and is about 2.3Gb in size. It has a boot folder included in the iso plus
others when I view it in PowerIso.


(What Windows are you using?)

The greyed out option to add boot info could mean that PowerIso
recognized the .iso is a Windows program and thus not making it
bootable. Remember that when you boot, there is no Windows OS and
Windows program will not run.

The 'boot' folder may simply have images, like *.img, and programs to
make bootable floppys, like makedisk.exe, with the images. Doubt that
the 'boot' folder have a file like 'BootCatalog.cat'. What's the file
name of the .iso? Maybe I can get some clue from it what the .iso is all
about? What's the name of the Windows program in the .iso?

Does the free partition have a drive letter assigned? Can't you specify
the drive (partition) for the install location?

Mike Richter's Unadulterated White Lie

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.
