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. |

Install it on the machine you used to post your article and get rid of that nasty windows. |
