I'm not that familiar with how Win7 does it. It is quite possible that it just copied the iso file to the CD--so that if you mount the CD, you'd see nothing but the iso file. Looking at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/burn-a-cd-or-dvd-from-an-iso-file it seems that you can't burn an image with Windows built in tools (judging from the Notes section at the bottom). The best thing to do is google the distribution you're planning to install with terms like burn ubuntu cd from iso in windows or the like. Trying the one above gives http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/burn-a-dvd-on-windows which seems to indicate that despite that other article, you might be able to use the Windows tools. Unfortunately, I'm just guessing, because I don't have a Windows machine to test any of it. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [email protected] & you will be removed.Yahoo!
