asdex Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Hi just wondering if I can make a iso of a DVD and then burn it to CDR's. Is ImgBurn able to split a iso over a number of CDR's? I'm trying to do a Mandriva DVD. Hopeing it will install from CD as it doesn't from DVD. Thanks, asdex
lfcrule1972 Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 I don't believe you can split an .iso image over several CD-Rs, but someone with more knowledge can probably confirm that for you
JasonFriday13 Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 I have burnt a CD image to a DVD before, and it worked. It was Ubuntu Linux 6.10.
lfcrule1972 Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Yeah but I am not sure about splitting an iso file tho....
LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 A CD image onto a DVD is fine (assuming it's possible to convert the image format to one that fits DVD), but you can't go the other way unless the image happens to b If you can't boot from DVD, update your motherboard bios / drive firmware. There's no reason for it not to work. Failing that, just download the CD installer version!

If you can't boot from DVD, update your motherboard bios / drive firmware. There's no reason for it not to work. Failing that, just download the CD installer version! Thanks very much for your replies. I will look at updating my BIOS etc. As I'm on dial up I won't download another version but can buy the CD one if the update doesn't help. Cheers,
LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 wow, dial up in this day and age! 5k/s would drive me totally nuts!
dontasciime Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 AOHELL users are still on dial up, was sold to them as DSL but hey. No way could I could go back to dial up quicker to write down the 1's and 0's
