Must be me getting your post mixed up with another one or misremembering it. If the boot partition is suddenly gone, either something traumatic has happened, ala bad hard drive, or something was done to make the boot up process stop working, ala Windows. You didn't "fix" any errors with a windows tool or make any partition changes from within windows did you? > I've burned many .iso images to a CD - this file was listed in the > tree where I got it as an .iso but after downloading, when I went to > find the image with CD creator, it didn't show at all.

Assuming that you were trying to make this change in Windows (2000, XP, perhaps earlier versions), would explain it. Windows, by default, hides the file extension of known types of files so that you can't just simply rename the file from within explorer. You either need to change the default explorer view settings to show known file extensions or you need to open up a command prompt and rename the file from there. Start, Run, cmd CD to the directory with the file and then ' rename "????.iso.bin" "????.iso" ' -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
