mljohn11 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I created an iso image, used Nero to burn it ot DVD, and it did not work. I then created a completly new installation for Windows XP, added the SATA drivers, and tried the direct burn method to disk.The progress has been "grey", and the status is listed at 'Closing Track" for 9 hours.Is this normal? Is there something I did incorrectly?I'm baffled Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sp0iLedBrAt Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I don't know what went wrong with the Direct Burn option, I've only used it once, but you need a bootable CD, and just simple burning with Nero will not do that. Maybe you could try ImgBurn; I've read through several posts that it works, or try reinstalling nLite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponch Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I created an iso image, used Nero to burn it ot DVD, and it did not work.Did you burn the IMAGE (good) or did you just put the file on the DVD (bad) ?In other words, do you see the install files on your DVD or do you just see a big iso file ?

bledd Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I always use nlite to create the image, then IMGBURN to burn it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mljohn11 Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 I burned the image, I didn't simply copy the .iso to a disk.When I insert the disk into another PC, auto run fires up the installation. Now, that doesn't mean that it'sa bootable DVD, but it tells me that all of the files are there. I've wasted 3 disks (yeah, I'm cheap!) waiting for the direct burn to complete.

Guest Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 +1, bledd. If you want to be really cheap, mljohn11, use rewritables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooms Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 (edited) I always use nlite to create the image, then IMGBURN to burn it+1right click on the iso file -> Burn with ImgBurn and voila !Alternatively i use UltraIso to build the iso image. Not freeware but a lot af options. Edited September 16, 2009 by mooms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
