Its not enough to copy all the files to the cd (which is probably what you did if you burned it in data mode). You need to make the cd bootable by burning a basic system and marking where to find those files. You should either use cd copy instead of data mode, chose to write iso to disk (under nero it is burn image under file, for others it should be similar) or there should be an option to make the cd bootable. Under linux with xcdroast it asks for a boot image when enabling this option, but I have no experience with this, but google will probably give you some information on that. > > Steve K. > > +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > This Mail Was Scanned By Mail-seCure System > at the Tel-Aviv University CC. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
