Pardon this very newbie question, but I just burned all four CD's (FC2-i386-discN.iso) onto a CDRW drive on a XP Pro machine and want to use disc1 to boot up and begin the config process for a clunky leftover PC of mine. I did go into setup to verify that the CD ROM drive is in the boot sequence, and is before the C drive.


You have to use "Burn image" in your recording software, instead of just copying the *.iso file to the drive.

When you Explore your CDRW in XP, you shall be seeing a whole lot of files on it, not just the .iso file.

Hope this helps,

Even if you have burned the CDRWs correctly, there may still be a more basic problem. I know from personal experience that certain older models of CD drives simply cannot read CDRW disks. If the target machine can be booted with MS-DOS or something that you would expect to let you read files from the CD, then try reading a regular CD, and then a CDRW.
