My DVD don't boot when i start my pc

[Nath]

Hi,

I have a problem with my dvd, when i put in my dvd he start, but when i start my pc, he don't boot from the dvd. It's possible that my problem came from my burning method ?

check your BIOS and make sure you are able to boot to a CDROM (DVD is the same thing).

If it still doesn't boot, then my guess would be something messed up in the burn, and without knowing what you did...can't help ya much.

if you simply drag and droped the files from the bootable cd it won't work (i know, it looks like stupid, just a suggestion)... but anyway u can try nlite to build the iso and then burn the cd

im having the same problem with my multi-dvd. i followed the instructions on flyakite's page and it booted the first time, but none of my OS cd's would boot. then i figured out that the i386 replacement text needed to be 4 chars like the original.... silly me

anywho, so i think i fixed the i386 replacement thing, but now the dvd wont boot in virtual pc 2004 so i cant tell if its truly fixed or not........

and like i said, it booted the first time and the only thing i changed were the paths for i386............

any ideas?

1st make sure you rebuilt your dvd as a new iso. Sometimes changes will destroy your boot sector and/or files (esp if you use WinISO on an optimized image).

2nd, Virtual PC has a well known problem using large image files directly. You will need to mount your image using Alcohol120, Daemon Toos, WinImage, etc and then capture the cd drive on which it is mounted
