I am having a hell of a time with the FC3 iso's. I downloaded all 4of them to my FC1 desktop. Then with cdwriter, I cannot get them to burn correctly. At least, they seem to, but I cannot get the first cd to boot, not even monkeying around wth boot order in the bios, etc. I tried DAO, then TAO, then 'TAO with the 'make bootable' selected and the filename filled in next to it. I have 8 or 9 cd's now, glad they are cheap....
Interesting, on my FC2 system, I ran xcdroast (as root), added the iso directory to the setup, and burned each of the 5 iso's (4 binary, 1 rescue). Took them to my wife's Win98 machine, booted disc #1, and ran media check over all 5 of them, and they all passed. No problem. Are you burning the ISO file onto a CD, or are you burning the ISO files as CD images???? There is a difference. What do you see when you mount the burned CDs under FC1? How many files/dirs in the CD root dir?
Now I booted into windoze xp and I am gonna try with nero. I'll have
to copy the iso to the desktop, then into nero. Is there anything I
should try to do to make it bootable? Speed it up or slow it down? I think the burner is 8x, sometimes I have burned at 2x just to avoid
buffer underruns and that has helped in the past. I have never heard
of any problem with burning too slowly.
Nope. My burner is a 52x24x52x (w/burnproof support) and I burned to Memorex 48x CD-R media using default xcdroast settings. I think I was even serving the files through BitTorrent at the time, though burnproof would've saved the burns anyways.
