You are burning it a iso right? and not simply burning the file to disk??
Yes sir, it is an iso. And all is written to the dvd but it wont boot. Am in the process of checking the programs used by k3b against one that works. Richard
Try following at CLI.... wodim dev=<devicename> -prcap to get an idea of what wodim knows about media and drive. This command will probably need to be run as root. For burning use growisofs -dvd-compat -Z <device name>=<iso source> see man growisofs. K3b monkeys around with default settings and special switches when the defaults work 90% of the time on good hardware and media. I would at the moment use K3b to build an image but not to burn it. What may also help is if try... isovfy <device name> see man isovfy to check the integrity of the image (of limited value but of some use). - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
