burned disk is...empty?!

[GranPaSmurf]

I need to burn a bootable disk of a .iso file.

I don't do disk burning very often, so everything is new, step by step for me. I am following this file.Forum Link

I tried a couple of CD-R disks, but after the burn, the disks were empty. The CDs are old, so I figured they were bad. For the last try, I used a DVD-R. Same result.

The ImgBurn interface says it burned. I am attaching the log.

Thanks in advance.

All the burns in that log seem to be successful. Have you rebooted your computer after burning those discs? Sometimes Windows gets stuck detecting a disc.

Well, log another slap-head-moment for GranPaSmurf!

I even retrieved one from the trash that was burned. Thanks for your prompt & on-target response.

 

Now I have to move on the next problem, the bootable disks wont. Computer says "boot from CD" with a __ cursor, but no further.

If you have more than one CD/DVD drive be sure you set device and priority order in BIOS correctly.
