"Ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies." Actually it is for
Windows XP which I downloaded from the Pirate Bay. I really don't feel
badly about this because Win XP is no longer being sold. The iso file
was originally known as ???.iso.part When I eliminated the .part
extension, brasero accepted it and made a disk that should have been
bootable but wasn't. I need it to create a virtual machine under
Virtual Box and not to install it on a physical machine.
PS. I only pirate stuff which I can't buy or get through normal means.
As such, I don't feel that my actions cause a lost sale.
