Topic: 5.6 Cd

[Eli]

I put sme 5.6 on cd and it does work. I downloaded the iso 3 times and put it on cd, and it won't boot from the cd nor will it work after booting from
floppy.


Please help.
Thanx

what program are you using to burn the iso? I would look at that as the cause

[Eli]

I use win xp burning program.

When you look at the CD do you see different subdirs?  Or do you only seen one file (filename.iso)?

[Eli]

I do extract the files first.

Hi Eli,

I suggest you dump the XP burning thingy and go with a real CD burner program like Nero or Roxio / Adaptec or any other which supports iso image files.

I could even recommend Fireburner for image burning under windows.

Rock on.

I tried software which supports iso burning and it still won't work.

I had a similar situation while trying to burn ISO's for Mandrake 9 and Redhat 8.  The size of the ISO's wouldn't let me use the standard capacity CD's I normally use so I had to go to another type I have that can take more data.  I made about 8 coasters before I gave up - I thought the burner died.  A few days later, I tried to burn an ISO to a lower capacity CD and it worked fine.  I had used the higher capacity media to copy music CD's before and had no problem there, so I tried that again and it worked.

It turns out, the high capacity CD's I was using would take music but not data.  I didn't know there was a difference until I turned the aisle at Walmart and found a stack of 50 CD's that specifically said for music only.  Then back where the computer stuff is, there's stack of 100 CD's by the same mfgr that stated on the insert Music or DATA.

I bought a pack and burned the Mandrake ISO's and I have a great Linux workstation.  

I don't know if this is your issue or not but it worked for me...

I had burned sme 5.1 and 5.5 on The same cds.
Thanx for the info anyway
