Won't boot a 3 gig DVD

[NuVanDibe]

I had a 3 gig dvd which wouldnt work. I compressed a lot of my programs into sfx rars, and reburned it at 2500 megs. It worked fine. Now it's back up to 3 gigs again and i'm getting boot problems again. The problems seem random between dvd's, too. From files being corrupted, to "ntldr" being missing..... one dvd installed fine up until runonceex, then on the third program, it started giving errors. i tried rebooting, but it gave an overflow error when booting from dvd. i rebooted again and it said it was missing ntldr.

Don't know the cause of you problem but my DVD is at 4 GB and works fine.

I use cdimage.exe to make an ISO. then use nero to write the image to

my DVD.

Maybe its your DVD writer or your media?

Size has nothing to do with it, check your dvd is bootable, try making the bootable dvd directly with nero.
