timidbull Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 I burned the ISO image onto a disc using Nero, when I went to boot up my computer, I got a message when it started to boot from CD"EM386: warning: Address line A20 already enabled"Anyone have any idea what this is? I thought maybe I got a bad DL or burn, so I redownloaded and reburned and still same message. Anyone know?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jito463 Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 ISO of what? x64? Is this an RC version or final? If RC, try downloading the trial version from MS instead. If final...tsk, tsk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timidbull Posted June 25, 2005 Author Share Posted June 25, 2005 (edited) I burned all the files of XP64 from the trial download. I just downloaded it today, so I guess the final. I don't know.If it matters...ABit moboAMD Athlon 64 30001Gig OCZ PC3200 (2x512k)ATI 9800proSound Audigy PlatinumMaxtor 160/80/80 Hard drivesSony DVD/RW Edited June 25, 2005 by timidbull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbm Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 (edited) How did you burn it? In nero all you need to do is choose your recorder.Click on the recorder menu and choose burn image. Then brouse to the isofile. I always check off finalise CD when I burn an iso too.It sound like you burned it as bootable cd using 1.44MB Dos floppyemulation.

timidbull Posted June 25, 2005 Author Share Posted June 25, 2005 I think I did make a bootable disc. When I try to "burn image" it won't allow me to. Will it work if I just "make a data disc" and copy all the files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbm Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 (edited) No, a data disc wont work. What error do you see when you try to burnan image. When you say all the files, how many do you mean? Thereshould only be one, the about 600MB iso file which is an image of theCD your tring to burn. If you extracted the files from the iso to burnthem to a CD that wasn't needed. You can burn them to a bootable CDbut you would need the proper boot image, which you can extract froman bootable XP CD using isobuster or similar program. But it's mucheasier to just burn the iso file to CD using burn image function inNero. Edited June 25, 2005 by jbm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timidbull Posted June 25, 2005 Author Share Posted June 25, 2005 when I downloaded I got a .zip file, when opened there were a bunch of file to be extracted...should I not have opened the .zip file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jito463 Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Where did you download this from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway it's not the right one. The correct file is found here http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/64bit/e...tion/trial.mspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 If you are using WinRAR, then the ISO file will appear to be an archive, which might have led timidbull to believe it's a zip file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timidbull Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 (edited) Hmmm, I am using Winrar, and it does appear to be an archive. So I just take that file and burn that file to the disk instead of opening it?Also when I use Nero to burn an image, the file I downloaded does not even show up as a compliant nero image file. I downloaded it from the Microsoft win64 trial software page. Do I need to get winrar to stop associating itself with it?

jbm Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 (edited) When you start nero exit the new compilation if it comes up.Then click on the record menu at the top and choose burn image.You can click on filetypes but I think it should allready be setto image files. Is your computer set to show extentions if itsnot maybe thats the problem. What is the name of the file?it should end in .isoTo show extentions open my computer click on tools then viewand uncheck hide extentions of known files types.Click apply then click apply this to all folders and click ok.

timidbull Posted June 27, 2005 Author Share Posted June 27, 2005 (edited) AHA!!! Got it. Thanks for the help everyone. Between all of your help and suggestions I got it figured out. It was being recognized by WinRAR, so I mistook it for a .zip file. Then I realized I had both tried to burn a "bootable disc" and the files I had opened from the mistaken .zip file. I finally located the .iso file when trying to burn image. Finally got it to work!!!WOOOHOOOHOOOO!!Thanks again Edited June 27, 2005 by timidbull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
