Ready to Scream!!! Bootable CD?

[Mike Hawthorne]

HI

After a lot of work and research I finally got an .iso file from Symantec that should boot my computer into the Ghost program at startup.

I have literally gone through a dozen CD-Rs trying to do this.

I started out using Easy CD Creator 8. When I just copy the .iso file to the CD I get the .iso file on the disk but the disk isn't bootable.

When I use the Burn Image to Disk then instead of the .iso file I get the contents of the .iso file burned to the disk so it still won't boot.

I went to the Roxio Forum and the general consensus is that you can't make a bootable disk with Easy CD Creator 8. Why did I spend the money on this software?

So I found a freeware program, Active@ ISO Manager. It doesn't have any utility to just copy the .iso file to a disk but I can extract the file and make a new one.

This still doesn't work because it won't let me create the new .iso file on a CD only to a folder on my drive so I'm right back where I started.

I already have the .iso file that will boot my computer. How in the *#%^# do I get it onto a bootable CD so it will start my computer and let me run Ghost?

Any help Greatly, Greatly appreciated.

Nero will do what you want but I'm not familiar with any free/downloadable burning software that will burn an .iso.

Deepburner is free and will burn an .iso. If the .iso is bootable, it should boot.

Hi GLC

Deep Burner worked, success at last.
I made two disks and tested them both.

Both booted to Ghost and allowed me to recover files.

Thanks a lot.
