[opensuse] Berning 11.0 iso
I burned several times with K3B openSUSE 11.0-DVD-i386.iso directly, as suggested in K3B, but I can't startup on that disks. On my Laptop, an Acer 5314, I can't even open the disk to see if anything on it. Suggestions how to proceed are hartely welcome!!!

I've been disappointed by the number of coasters I've produced using K3B. After several failures, I dual-booted my SuSE workstation to an XP-Pro SP3 session, and burned it using the excellent (and free) Active ISO Burner. (Easily found with a quick Google query.) I've never had a single failure using that fine tool - and my SuSE 11.0 DVDs were no exception. Unfortunately, it's produced only for Windows. If you have such a machine with a DVD burner, you might want to give it a try. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You should have went to the Tools menu, then chosen "Burn DVD ISO image". It sounds like you burned the file to a DVD, which will burn, but will not give you a usable disc, only a backup of your iso file.

Isn't your system an AMD-64 cpu? You might want the 64 bit version. First things first, did you validate the download somehow, e.g compared md5sum of image on your disk to that of the actual iso image, did you have K3B verify written tracks, and did you actually chose to burn a DVD iso image. I gotta ask, as these are potential gotchas that folks stumble upon.

OK, I'll bite, I have an Acer Aspire 5102WLMI, so we can do some reasonable comparison, I hope.

If you can verify a valid install disk then the thing to do is ensure that the unit reads from the DVD before the hard drive during boot up, but if it won't read the disk at all, I suspect that the DVD is the problem.

I would never burn with K3B (build an image yes, extract an image yes, burn an image no). The interaction between k3b and burning software I have found to be at best unreliable (especially when something goes wrong). The simple growisofs command growisofs -dvd-compat -Z <device name>=<iso name> is nearly foolpoof.... see man growisofs - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.

And makes possible to burn CD iso on DVD media, if you run out of blank CDs. -- Regards, Rajko http://en.opensuse.org/Portal needs helpful hands. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

That's like hunting flies with elephant bullets :-P - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
