asdex Posted April 11, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfcrule1972 Posted April 11, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonFriday13 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I have burnt a CD image to a DVD before, and it worked. It was Ubuntu Linux 6.10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 11, 2007 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdex Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share 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 < 700MB in size - which of course it wouldn't be or they'd call it a CD image in the first place! 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.
