Re: Which news group can help with making bootable ISO cd?

 

..ISO files are by themselves not bootable, you must first extract the files

contained within the .ISO file.

To do this you need Nero or Easy CD/Media Creator software to create a

bootable CD from the .ISO file

(This assumes that the .ISO file was designed to be used in creating a

bootable version of whatever software it contains).

 

Don't have Nero or Easy CD creator.

See: IsoBurn as a free alternative.

http://news://terabyteunlimited.com/public.tech.general

ought to make an attempt at one using your default newsreader.

Set the port to 1198 in order to see and post. Default is 119,

so you'll need to find it and reset it to 1198 for that server.

I don't know since you forgot to tell us which "bootable ISO cd" you're

interested in making. In general, you burn an .iso as an image, not as a

data file and you need to use third-party burning software to do it.

Let's try this again: which windowsxp newsgroup, by name,

would be best to ask questions about making bootable cds

that run an iso file? For instance, this newsgroup is named

microsoft.public.windowsxp.general. My newsreader is working

well.

Thank you.

None. WinXP lacks the capability to create CDs from ISO files, so

there are naturally no WinXP-related newsgroups that cover the topic.

 

Additionally, I've never heard of any kind of CD, bootable or

otherwise, that "runs an iso file." Normally, CDs are created *from*

ISO files.

OK. So... I have download an ISO file (Memtest86+-2.01.ISO).

This runs tests on computer memory. Simply double clicking

on this ISO file from Windows Explorer/File Manager produces

no action. I understand this program/application has to run

from the cd at boot-up. When I copy ("make data cd") using

Nero, the computer will not boot from that CD. When I "make

a bootable CD" using Nero, the ISO file does no start. I

have used the Nero default boot info (Caldera dos), and then

on other cds a Win98SE boot floppy as source boot, and then

a floppy formated by WinXP-Pro. All three of these have

the boot info copied from the floppies (one floppy boot set

per separate cd)cds and each will boot the computer. The the

ISO will not run automatically, or if I call call it at the

command line by full name or memtes~1.iso.

I just want to know how to make a cd that works.

If this is not the right forum, can you direct me?

Yes. Of course. I have been using Nero"make a bootable CD"

function. See above. Thank you.

I guess you are ignorant of how to do this. I asked for some

help. You obviously do not know how, or you would have

offered direction. When DOS was king, there were no CD-Roms,

no ISO 9600. Go play in park and stay out of the street.

Exactly. (OR even more commonly, in other ways; that's sure not the only

way :-)

Use Nero to "open" the .iso and burn it to CD.

Start Nero.

If the "New Compilation" dialog opens, then close it.

File | Open, and select your .iso file.

Insert a blank CD.

Click "Burn".

 

The .iso is an image of the files on a bootable CD, including all the

"boot stuff"

 

Good Luck.

Making a CD from an .iso file the easy way.

Hi dr. dos

 

you directed us to the site

http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-makebootablecd.htm

but you didn't do what they said. you have to run the program, load the iso

file, trnsform it to a bootable iso file and then burn it as new image file

to a blank cd/dvd. only then, it will be a bootable iso cd, since you

transformed it to one.

GOOD LUCK!!!

CORRECTION: you have to use a bootable cd in order to transform the iso file

into a bootable iso file (using the program "MagicISO").

See, if you'd said "I need to turn the Memtest86+ program into a bootable

CD" you'd have gotten the answer immediately instead of having this long,

stupid thread.

 

You have Nero. Insert a blank CD-R into your drive. Open Nero and choose

"burn as image". Navigate to where you saved the Memtest .iso file. Burn

the disk.

 

When you are finished burning the disk, restart your computer and boot from

the optical drive. You may need to change your boot order in the BIOS. Many

BIOSes have the ability to temporarily change the boot order by pressing

F12 or Esc or the like.

 

The computer will now boot from the Memtest86+ disk you made and the test

will run immediately. You can remove the disk after the test has started.

Hi

 

The ISO file Dr. Dos is talking about is already bootable, just need to

be burn on CD the right way (Burn an ISO image).

Nor should it.

Not so. The ISO needs to be used, inconjunction with a CD/DVD burning

application, such as NERO, to *create* a bootable CD.

Again, that's exactly as is to be expected. You're not supposed to

just copy the file to a CD. You need to use Nero to "Create a disk from

an image." Consult Nero's Help files.

Er...., yes, there was. You simply loaded the drivers in Config.sys

and enabled the drive with a command in Autoexec.bat.

 

The actual problem is that you utterly failed to express your problem

in terms that would enable anyone to guess what you were trying to do.

Had you bothered saying what you were trying to do, you'd have had an

answer much sooner.

In Nero Burning Rom click on first menu then on Open file. It will see that

it's an iso file and act accordingly.

 

On the next screen, basically all you have to do is click Burn.
