You must write the iso file as an *image*, and not try to put the file
as a piece of data on a CD. The iso image will be bootable - it is not
something you should try to set in your software. The fact you are
burned it as a bootable cd indicates to me that you have done it
incorrectly, as you cant do that with an iso image.
I don't know your software type, but it should have some sort of
faciltiy to burn an image, and one option will be a file ending in .iso. |
