How do I know I you have everything I need to make a bootable image, or if the .iso is bootable? I just downloaded Mandriva Linux from their site, and it is a .iso. I want to make a bootable image, that can be installed also. I tried copying everything from the download which included two .asc files, a .full file, the i586 file, a .langs file, a .leaves file, .lst, .md5, and a .sha1 file onto a usb flash drive. I had made certain the bios would search for the usb drive before the hard drive, rebooted, and waited. It said no operating system present. So how do I make a bootable image file on a usb drive, and can it be done with imgburn? I have heard of something called magicISO. Is that different than ImgBurn? Or do did Mandriva give me everything I need, and MUST I put it on a disc, not a flash drive? Thanks for the help!
