fearonc Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 I want to copy a Linux .iso file to a disk that I can boot with. I have the .iso file on my hard drive. Using ImgBurn, do I select "Write Image" or "Write File" for this task? My gut says to "Write File" but my gut has been wrong before! Is there anything else I need to have or do to make the burned disk bootable? Thanks!
LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 An ISO is an image file, so you use the 'Write Image File To Disc' option. Once you've loaded the ISO in 'Write' mode, it'll say if it's bootable or not next to the 'File Sys' ('File System') label. Either you'll see the word 'Bootable' or you won't. If it isn't bootable, you'd need to recreate (rebuild) the ISO and make it bootable... or just try and find one that is bootable already.
