Making a bootable dvd
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

Making a bootable dvd
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 . -------------------------------------- Mike Richter, were you born with "Scam Artist" emblazoned on your face? -------------------------------------- Bob Administrator wrote: I have a 2.7gb iso file which I want to burn to a dvd and make that dvd bootable.

Making a bootable dvd
Hello smh,
hey, no problem about misunderstanding me, your'e not the only one, lol. 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. Thanks . -------------------------------------- Mike Richter, were you born with "Scam Artist" emblazoned on your face? -------------------------------------- Bob Administrator wrote: 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.

Making a bootable dvd
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. Sorry for the confusion Thanks . -------------------------------------- Mike Richter, were you born with "Scam Artist" emblazoned on your face? -------------------------------------- Bob Administrator wrote: 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.
