Alan2273 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 What burning program are you using?.If you are not sure how to do it, go to this link, there are lots of free ISO burners.http://iso.snoekonline.com/iso.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4\/!d Posted July 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Thanks for the link Alan. Most helpful.I am using any freebie app.I cannot see that any of them make a bootable disc.Any of those apps can burn a file - I can do that.I wish to make a bootable DVD that will run the iso file when I reboot.

D4\/!d Posted July 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Simples :)Thanks Boris, I was under the impression that I needed to create a system boot disc while burning the iso to DVD. It seems the iso can do the boot bit itself. A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing.Anyway all done now.I can triple boot; XP Pro/Win7/Win7x64.I wanna give x64 a trial. Just to see what of my apps it will run and what won't.(I am not a gamer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbrideau Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Everything will run. Been like that since Vista x64 (I have yet to run on a compatibility problem). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4\/!d Posted July 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Thanks Sbrideau, not being a vista user I never experienced that.I was always used to making special system boot diskettes, ha ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
