1315816 2012-12-02 01:08:00 Did you get it from the Dban site?? Its not in zip format, you download an ISO file (www.dban.org) then burn it Speedy Gonzales (78)
1315817 2012-12-02 01:16:00 yep but downloads and saves as a winzip file ?? should I rename it to iso file cowboy stu (7021)
1315818 2012-12-02 01:18:00 Unless winzip is installed and its the default for ISO's?? What version of windows is it? Speedy Gonzales (78)

1315820 2012-12-02 01:21:00 Ok, if winzip is installed / right mouse on the file you downloaded and select open with windows explorer. Then dbl click on it, it should burn it (dont unzip it). After you put a cdr in Speedy Gonzales (78)
