Hi

I've tried creating a boot cd with Nero but can;t get the laptop to boot off
the disc. Can someone here help me out by explaining the necessary steps?

thanks

Things can go wrong for many unforeseeable reasons, I burn *.ISO's all the
time - the only attempt that failed was when I burned a DVD *.ISO to a
DVD-RW on my Desktop and then having it fail to boot the Laptop, perhaps
this is a flash-back to the days that music CD's wouldn't always play on
other drives, if they where RW's.

Otherwise, simply recording a *.ISO and having Nero burn it as an 'image
file' should be all the steps you need. Don't know right now if Nero can
record images on Winx64 at the moment, I believe it should.

Hi
I've managed to fix it. Apparently I suck at working with computers ;-)

thanks
