desire Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 i have an iso file. it suppose to be bootable. i choose to burn an image in imgburn. choose the ISO image. insert a blank CD. then push the Write button. i see in the log that imgburn recognize the ISO image as bootable, but after the burn is done, i can't boot from it, and windows goes up instead. skip the CD. i can boot from CD, that is not the problem. i have another bootable disk that when i insert him and do restart, the CD boots alright if imgburn recognize thr IMAGE file as bootable, why doe's my cd can't boot? thanks :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 ImgBurn detects a bootable image by the presence of the El Torito descriptor, nothing more. If there is an error with it, that would be cause for your machine not to boot it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desire Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 thanks :-). do i have another option? maybe to extract the iso with for example 7-zip and then get a boot image from this site. then insert all the extracted files to imgburn, and using the boot image i get from the site before. is it possible? i sort of try it, but maybe i did something wrong. i remember that a couple of years ago, i did something like that with nero burning rom, and i think the cd was bootable eventually :-) thanks :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 It's probably easier to find a bootable image that does what you want, so, what do you want to do exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desire Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 i want to make the image bootable. it's not bootable now, so it seems, and i want to get the boot from another place(the site i linked to), and make a data bootable cd, so the cd will boot :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Well, it's not very easy, unfortunately. Have you tried extracting the boot image from the CD you've burned? The information shown in the Log window when you extract the boot image should be a pretty good start on how to replace it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desire Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 1. i tried to extract the ISO image, and then in nero i choose boot cd and put a boot img from the site in my linked site before. it was a win98se boot. after that i insert to the compilation the whole extracted files, from the iso image. burned it, and it didnt succeeded :-). it didn't boot for me. 2. something strange came up. the iso image that i burned with imgburn, the one that imgburn recognize as bootable, that didn't boot on my computer, well, it booted in other computer. how such a thing can happen? again, it's the same disc. one computer doesn't boot and another one, can. very strangre :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
