iso question

Expand Post »
i have downloaded PCLinuxOs and ChubbyPuppy recently. i was wondering how you would burn the iso as bootable cd. do you need to extract the contents of the file and burn it or just burn the iso file as bootable cd

Re: iso question

an iso is a disk image - you DONT just burn the file to the disk in the usual way - the best example would be to say that an iso is to a disk what a zip file is to a directory

I like the free version of "deepburner" for burning isos with (google for it) - start it up and it will ask you what you want to do and you select "burn iso image do disk". its possible to burn isos in nero etc but if you do it this way at least if you have any problems i can help

Re: iso question

i already burned the iso file into a disk. the pclinuxos i got but when i boot it. After it gave a series of lines i was stuck in DR DOS A: and I dont know what im going to do next so I thought that I must have done something wrong with the burning.
