No. Creating ISO images doesn't always mean that it's going to read/write the actual boot sector properly - hence programs like BLIND-READ and BLIND-WRITE that make complete dupes of a CD. I like doing my ISO under linux as opposed to using Windo$e mainly for that reason. I can burn a bootable ISO of Mac OS/X as well as WinXP, WinNT, OS/2, BeOS or whatever...doesn't matter. Windo$e burners inherently don't do a great job (unless you REALLY configure your software properly - and Nero is probably the only one that works aside from Blind-Read/Blind-Write)...as well, what you read an ISO with and how it's read are important - same with the final burn of the ISO to CD...attention to detail is important... -- Mon Nov 11 22:50:00 EST 2002 -------------------------------- | __ __ | | / \ /| |'-. | | .\__/ || | | | | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | | | / \__.`=._) (_ |kuhn media australia | |/ ._/ |"""""""""| |http://kma.0catch.com | |'. `\ | | |stephen kuhn | ;"""/ / | | |email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | smk ) /_/| |.-------.| |mobile: 0410-728-389 | ' `-`' " " | -------------------------------- What is the difference between a Turing machine and the modern computer?
