ISO Difficulties

[HarryLhendrix]

I downloaded an ISO image that was supposed to be bootable. I burned the image to a CD-RW but could not get the program to launch upon start up inspite of haveing the drive sequence in the correct order (cd first, hdd second). Is my only option to but some ISO extraction software and put the extracted files on a cd or is there just something I am overlooking. Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks

What is it that you're trying to write? Is it a Linux OS LiveCD?

No, what I am actually trying to do is create a dedicated proxy server/firewall using the free ipcop software. I did as the instructions on their website specified and downloaded the iso version but have been unable to get it to load on the computer I want to use as the proxy server. I am doing it just for kicks but it is really frusterateing me.

Finally figured it out. You have to burn an ISO in a special way if you want it to be bootable. If anyone needs some free burning software that will burn a bootable ISO then check here http://www.bestvistadownloads.com/download-final-burner-software.html. Comptabile with Vista.

You can use Nero and select "Burn image to disc", that'll do the job.
