burning a bootable disc

[bigdoggy]

hi

I'm trying to make a bootable dvd of windows7(I'm currently running vista 32bit) I'm using the windows7 download tool to produce a bootable dvd from the iso file.

The tool completes the burn but when I attempt to boot from cdrom in the boot menu upon startup nothing happens. Also, after the burning the dvd drive states that the disc is empty?

 

Any suggestions grateful!!

Hi.

Did you follow the instructions at Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool?

Have you tried burning the iso at a lower speed I got caught out with this i burned at x3 and it didn't work but when i burned at x1 it worked.

Have you worded this wrong? A DVD burner can write a DVD, but you need a DVD drive to read it.

 

You also have to set the first boot device in the BIOS to CD/DVD in order for it to run...
