tommy2k6 Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 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?
Cynthia Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 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)
mmalves Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 You can also check if a disc is bootable by using the Read mode
tommy2k6 Posted April 11, 2009 Author Posted April 11, 2009 ISO9660 means that the ISO is bootable then? How do I check in read mode?
LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 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.
eSkRo Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 (edited) If this can help a little bit You can't check it in read mode unless you've already burnt the image or mount it in a virtual drive. oh, but, hold on, if i mount the image, then i do what to see if its bootable?

LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 You switch to read mode and look at that same 'File System(s)' bit of info.
