RE: [Cooker] Air ISO boot problems.
One other thing can cause this problem. I was in a hurry to burn the copy, so I selected the iso and told the program to burn the CD. Only thing was, I forgot to tell the burner software that the file I picked was an iso image instead of a file :-) Darn thing wouldn't boot off the CD- Geez I wonder why? ;-) duh Try to read the cd in a file manager. If it says air.iso is a file on the CD and that's all you see, you didn't set things up properly before starting.

Re: [Cooker] Air ISO boot problems.
not sure as windows 2000 won't even use my cd burner but I have burned at least 4 cd's that I can remember using mandrake 7.0 to burn them and they all worked great. With these few problems 1) they won't work with the kenwood true speed cdroms 2) they also won't work on at least some older cdroms. Like for instance an old 6x I had laying around but it also wasn't able to view the cdrom from dos.

Re: [Cooker] Air ISO boot problems.
If you made this mitake, you can moint the CD, but you will still see only one file on the CD, air.iso (or Mandrake70.iso, depending on which site you got it from) Sam Walker [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Try to read the cd in a file manager.

RE: [Cooker] Air ISO boot problems.
I had that happen too. It was caused when I did a restart from windoze. I shut the system down, did a cold boot, and everything worked fine. Why? I dunno . . .

Re: [Cooker] Air ISO boot problems.
I made mine on Windows NT4. Installed on several computers without the problem you mentioned. Maybe the discs that don't work are just cheap discs and only work on the drive that wrote them.
