I can't seem to see where I'm missing the bootable flag at.
An iso is a binary image. You burn it in a special way, and you don't get to make any settings or anything else.
You burn ISOs in K3b by selecting tools / burn dvd iso image, (or Burn CD image if it is a cd) and then select the ISO from your hard drive.
If burned as an ISO image, it will be an exact duplicate of the original CD/DVD, and it will be bootable.
The ISO is a file. If you burn it as a file using k3b, you will have a disk with one BIG file on it. The disk won't be bootable.
Exactly true. It would make me wonder then why K3B would burn an "iso" image that would not boot, the I'd take another CD disk for the same stock, run the "cdrecord" command on the same system, same burner, same "iso" image -- and it would boot. It has happened many times in a row, now I "initiate" the K3B burn from a file manager like "konqueror" and all goes well. When I heard this exact same issue with the gentleman who posted, I had to chime in. I have no more problems with K3B at this point.
