| 455131 | 2006-05-16 01:31:00 | Have a read here: www.memtest86.com You don't need to make a bootable CD as such because Memtest boots itself. It is a standalone application, it doesn't need an operating system loaded for it to run. Download the zipped iso file, unzip, and burn the .iso file to CD. It will boot (very fast) and run. |

| 455132 | 2006-05-16 02:09:00 | Cheers, that is exactly what i did, i basically just copied the iso file and then made a bootable CD. What i have now done, as you have said, is just burn the ISO file. Worked fine, memtest ran fine, no memory probs either. cheers for helping me out!! :D :D |
