I have no idea what is going on with this iso. It's the Windows beta 7 iso, dl'd from Microsoft using their dl manager. I've used ImgBrn before and have never had a problem creating a bootable cd or dvd with it. I've looked at the logs but don't know enough to see anything going wrong. In windows explorer, looking at the dvd properties, it says 0 bytes for both free and used space on the dvd and it says the file system is raw. But the disk is completely blue and can't be written to anymore. I've tried two different burners-both Necs with different brand names and 3 brands of media- memorex, verbatim, and playo. Can anyone tell me what is going on? I did try dling a torrent of the file but it was the exact same file, thinking maybe it's corrupt.
I also tried installing with MagicIso and that actually started installing from the iso but I wasn't set to actually install it on a partition yet so I aborted that. I'd like to create the installation dvd if possible. Here's my latest log:
