1109174 2010-06-19 02:27:00 Sweep, I only have a usb keyboard so it may not work anyway. But will try it.

I downloaded Imgburn and installed it. When I went to choose file to burn from the Downloads folder, the RAR file didn't show anywhere as an option. So am I meant to extract files from it and then choose which ones to burn?

1109175 2010-06-19 02:29:00 Extract the rar file. If its got the ISO in it, thats what you burn in Imgburn Speedy Gonzales (78)
1109176 2010-06-19 02:48:00 The ISO is indeed within the RAR. Extract the ISO then double click same which will open IMGBurn. Sweep (90)
1109177 2010-06-19 03:22:00 Right, I think I got the correct one this hopefully. I will now try once again, and am crossing fingers and toes and all. Might even have to sacrifice burnt offering to god of computers.

1109178 2010-06-19 03:29:00 No luck there, the screen didn't even stop at the Boot from cd option this time.

1109179 2010-06-19 03:41:00 So what happened this time?

You should have a bootable CD of 8.93 Meg.

1109180 2010-06-19 03:45:00 WHAT kind of CD did you burn it to?? CDR or CDRW? Speedy Gonzales (78)
1109181 2010-06-19 03:57:00 you might want to consider Seagate's file.

Get the DOS version and then the CD version. Cos you don't have a working floppy drive. Again, you need to burn the ISO.

1109182 2010-06-19 04:05:00 Speedy, it is a CDRW.

Nomad, I will have a look at the Seagate one a bit later, I have to go out for a little while now.

Thanks to all of you LL

1109183 2010-06-19 04:08:00 That maybe why, (CDRW's dont always boot, and cd's are usually finalised, which probably wont happen with CDRW's), use a CDR or extract the ISO to a flash drive. Thats if the ISO has boot files in it Speedy Gonzales (78)
