Since the install ISO is 649MB you should not try to burn it on a 650MB
blank. Pony and several others make 700MB CD-Rs but be sure you do not pick
up an audio only CD-R.
NERO trys to make it hard to record from an ISO. There is no info in the
manual or on their web site. Here is what you need to do:
1) Find the folder to which you downloaded the ISOs, right click on each and
choose rename;
mandrake 71-ext.iso change to mandrake 71-ext.nrg
mandrake 71-inst.iso change to mandrake 71-inst.nrg
2) Launch NERO
3) Close the New Compilation window so that you have only the main window
open.
4) From the toolbar along the top of the window select CD Recorder/ Choose
Recorder and be sure your CD-RW is picked
as the recording device.
5) From the File menu select Burn image. In the pop-up window navigate to
the folder with the .nrg file and click on one and click OK
6) A Foreign Image File box will open. Click OK.
7)A Foreign Image Setting box will open. Change it were necessary to show
the following values: Data mode 1; Block Size 2048: and the Swapped option
should be checked.Click OK.
8) A Write CD window will open. If you have not done much burning and are
not familiar with your CD-RWs abilities check all 4 boxes, test speed,
simulate, burn, and finalize. By doing this NERO will auto select the burn
speed.Finally in the top right of the window click the Write button and the
process of burning the CD will begin.
When the 1st CD is finished follow steps 5-8 to create the 2nd.
Hope I have not made it seem too complicated. If you have any problems or
other questions you can reply to the list or, contact me direct if you
choose.
