according to what i learned while i was out (according to the Geek Squad) i have to have a program called Nero in order to re-burn the disk so that it will boot properly...so i'm going to check the net to see if i can find a freeware or shareware version of Nero in order to re-burn the program

stef -> RE: Installing an ISO program. (5/17/2007 1:29:44 PM)
You don't need Nero to burn an ISO image and make a bootable CD. Use the app I linked to earlier. It's much smaller and there's much less opportunity to screw it up by doing the wrong thing since it ONLY burns ISO images. ~stef

If it was stripped and modified it may or not be bootable. anyway all windows 95 and up install with setup or winnt at the command prompt and any burner software capable of burning an iso standard image will work too. come on ya all its just not rocket science here LOL

i wish there was someone close by that could do this for me, i'm afraid i'll screw up and end up having to restore back to factory specs...wouldn't be the first time.

well...if you all don't hear from me in a few days...ya know what happened...LOL "michael screwed up yet another PC" LOL

farglebargle -> RE: Installing an ISO program. (5/17/2007 4:35:26 PM)
If you're not ready to just reload back to factory + Winders Update, then you're not ready for a hard disk failure, fire, etc. I know it's a pain in the ass, but that's the way it is sometimes.

Your argument is: "It doesn't run Windows software", and my response is "So what? There isn't any Windows Software compelling enough to justify that stance. "

quote: ORIGINAL: michaelOfGeorgia yes, but, for some reason, it won't load after rebooting. i've followed the instructions to boot from CD and it still bypasses the CD and loads my existing windows. Go into the bios on the computer and change the option from Boot Order: Hard Drive, CD (or vice versa) to only boot from CD. I suspect what will happen is that the system will tell you there is no boot file burned onto the CD you copied. If this is the case, start over. Create a bootable CD (like you would be doing a backup copy of your system). Then run your disc copy to move the installation files over to it. The boot block on a CD is not generally moved by copy programs; it is on a different area of the drive determined by physical characteristics and the BIOS knows where to look. Everything else is found in a partition. Hope this helps. Sinergy

Sinergy -> RE: Installing an ISO program. (5/18/2007 12:24:08 PM)
Where I posted backup copy should read "Emergency boot disk" I suppose Nero can move the boot blocks, but XP can do it just as easily. Sinergy

And most of today's Linux distros are far more user friendly than Windows XP and from what I hear, they will be much more user friendly than Windows Vista.

No, *this* is the whole point; there aren't any linux apps that can accomplish what I need for my job. I wish there were, but the cold hard fact is they just don't exist, no matter how many linux zealots screech that "their" OS is better. quote: And most of today's Linux distros are far more user friendly than Windows XP and from what I hear, they will be much more user friendly than Windows Vista. I'm happy you think so. ~stef
