A fun way to make coasters with ISO's

[Barry George]

DT thanks for the lighting reply!  
Yip, loads and installs in VMware. No I haven't checked the MD5SUMS -
how does one do that? I'm downloading Live-i386 right now and will see
how that goes as a comparison. 

Oliver - I've tried a slow burn with the same results  :-(

I'll keep plugging away.


Cheers

Have you checked the MD5SUMS for the iso after you downloaded it? I used

Nero [6.3.1.6] to burn my iso's and they've all worked fine so far. You 
say that you can load the image in VMware, are you able to use it to 
Install into vmware?

Other than that, I can't say. I've had ISO's that wouldn't boot on my 
laptop but worked fine on other machines, so there can be 
incompatibilities, but if as you say, it doesn't work on several 
machines, that just points to a corrupt iso or CD.

As far as my experience goes anyway.

Good luck!
