ISO will not boot

[beebee]

HI

I`m having a hard time getting my burned iso dvd to boot at startup. I`ve tried Roxio and ImgBurn

and I get two errors : The file is possibly corrupt. The files checksum does not match the PC checksum.

Also this error is now occurring: Missing NTLDR

The PC bios is set for the dvd drive to boot first and other dvds do boot. I`ve done the burn at 2x

speed but that didn`t work. The dvd I`ve made of the same program usually all autoload within winxp.

Its always a problem at bootup. I`ve tried using Daemon to mount the image. Does ImgBurn take the

place of Daemon. I`m starting to wonder if the media is junk.

what is the iso

[polopony]

since you didn't name the media we have no way of knowing if its junk or not ,we do recommend Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden discs and only the Verbatim dual layer discs, all others are garbage

 

IMGburn doesn't take the place of Daemon Tools they are complely different IB is a burning program and Daemon is a media player a virtual drive

 

Missing NTLDR this is some possible things to look for, you can check with GOOGLE Missing NTLDR

 

Missing NTLDR

Computer is booting from a non-bootable source.

Computer hard disk drive is not properly setup in BIOS.

Corrupt NTLDR and/or NTDETECT.COM file.

Misconfiguration with the boot.ini file.

Attempting to upgrade from a Windows 95, 98, or ME computer that is using FAT32.

New hard disk drive being added.

Corrupt boot sector / master boot record.

Seriously corrupted version of Windows 2000 or Windows XP.

Loose or Faulty IDE/EIDE hard disk drive cable.

Are you sure your source image is correct?

 

Have you done an MD5 check on it against wherever you downloaded it from? It could just be a corrupt download (or corrupt in the first place?!)

An ImgBurn logfile would be handy. Without it it's anybody's guess.

I am testing Vista to see it it works on my machine. I`m switching hard drives back

and forth. How does adding a new hard drive cause this error

wiser to remove the hard drive you had XP on when going to install another operating system as new op or even another version of XP can just use files boot strap from previous hard drive, in your case corrupting boot loader which is why you got error over missing ntldr

Hi

Is this the correct method to burn the iso. I mounted the image with Daemon.

I opened the virtual drive and selected the title. Now I have all the files listed.

How do I select all these files for the burn.

[dontasciime]

if you already have ISO file simply right click on it and choose burn with ImgBurn
