Mandrake (linux) 8.1... Problems making an ISO disk

[Stout]

Downloaded Mandrake 8.1 ISO image and the full (over 1 gig). But now when I try to boot from CD rom the ISO image is not recognized. Then booting from a floppy is ok, but can not see the Linux files on the cd rom. I have burned all the files to several cd roms but no luck. Any ideas?

Are you burning the iso FROM the iso or uncompressing the iso and then burning the files? Either way should work with the floppy method but only iso to cd will work for booting.

rawko...Well... How do I uncompress the ISO

New at this...

I am using EZ CD Creator 5.0 Plat. I select "make bootable cd rom" and then browse to the ISO and burn the cd. But it can NOT boot, period, nor run the setup. Oh well... Any ideas?

try using nero and choose burn from image
don't use the make bootable cdrom option

Use FireBurner instead of EZ coaster Creator.

I have a copy of Nero here so going to give it a try.

Use FireBurner instead of EZ coaster Creator. I have not made 1 coaster w/ it out of over 150 burns. And I keep surfing the web, email software open, etc. Well till now that I have made 6 or so for Linux

The only 2 files thst I get on the CD are BOOTCAT and BOOTIMG. Will see what Nero does.

Tks!

 

[rawko]

in the burning program, are you telling it to burn from an iso?

Haha
I agree with yakko, Fireburner works like a charm for burning ISOs. In fact, I just used it a couple days ago to burn all 3 Madrake 8.1 CDs.
