Make .ISO Bootable?


Recommended Posts

Posted

So, I have a Windows XP .iso file, I click write to disc to burn .iso file, but how can I make it burn to disc so its bootable?

Hi and welcome to the forum, tommy2k6! :)

 

Perhaps it's already bootable.

 

Load the .iso file in the Write mode and see what file system that is one the image/iso file.

 

If it's this - just burn it.

 

File System(s): ISO9660 (Bootable)

You can also check if a disc is bootable by using the Read mode :thumbup:

ISO9660 means that the ISO is bootable then? How do I check in read mode?

No, the 'Bootable' bit in brackets means it's bootable.

 

You can't check it in read mode unless you've already burnt the image or mount it in a virtual drive.

 

So basically, just load the ISO in Write mode and see if it says 'Bootable' in the 'File System(s)' bit.

If this can help a little bit ;)

You switch to read mode and look at that same 'File System(s)' bit of info.
