Basically ive got the image file on my pc, all i want to do is put it onto a dvd(2.4GB file) so that its bootable when i restart the pc.

Ive tried using imgburn and nero and neither seem to work, unless im doing it wrong? ive been "burning image to disk" im not sure if thats the correct way or not? i thought there was a different step to be honest, as simply burning it is like dragging and dropping it onto the disk drive isnt it? which is not going to make it bootable

Any ideas?

Here is the screen im on in nero, clicked burned, waited 15mins for it to finish and tell me its successful etc, but it didnt work.......

Try this, Magic Iso, I've used this for anything bootable. My avast doesn't like the file much, but just delete when done.

you can use nero

Open it up and exit the little wizard bit leaving just the nero screen

you also need to set your pc to boot from the dvd drive

Then i think its recorder and burn image. Then just click burn

If that does not work then there is a problem with the image or the Boot sequence on youre PC

Yeah im starting to think something is wrong with the image file, as ive burned as an image and it never come up with any error etc.

The pc is set to boot from cd drive first, ive always kept it like that and i checked its not changed lastnight.

Strange thing is ive tried doing it 3 times now and when its done if i go to my cd/dvd drive there appears to be nothing on the disk, yet its gone through all its motions and said successful, so im baffled

windows 7 by any chance? i had this problem when i downloaded it! when i unziped it and burnt it with nero it didnt work! you have to burn it as 1 big compressed file with magic iso i got there in the end after 3 dvd's lol

when you put the disk in within windows does it come up without clicking the cd drive?

Young ben, all ill say is wink wink

Ive got other image files here, so i tried burning one of those in nero and it worked first time, so at least i know im doing it right.

BM08

Can you talk me through it? although your probably going to tell me you dont have magic iso installed now

Ill download magic iso from the above link and give it a go anyway

P.s dont forget ive actually got the image file right now, i didnt have to unzip or whatever.............
