Boot from iso help needed.
Hi

I have an iso of TinyXp which I'm trying to install but seem to be having problems.

The iso is supposed to be bootable but when I try it wont boot from my pc, although it's set to boot from the cd drive.

Is there anything special I'm supposed to when burning this or is it more likely a problem with the iso?

Thanks

Re: Boot from iso help needed.
From the likes of Nero you need to select 'burn an image to disc' or whatever the option is called. Just creating a data disc by copying the file onto a CD/DVD will not make the disc bootable.

Mark.

have a look at imgburn. Small tiny app that does a cracking job with ISO's etc..
