Another one with 7.3 install problems 2

[leinad]

Hi,
I have recently downloaded the ISO files as well, and although I <b>CAN</b> boot to a CDROM, the system will not boot to the CD I burned with the ISO image on it.

Well, the instructions on RedHat's site say that alternately, I can mount the CDROM drive and get the boot.img file from the images directory.

When I mount the drive (booting to tomsrtbt), all I can see is the <color lime>valhalla-i386-disc1.iso</color> file. I suspect that if I download a boot disk image, I will get the error spoken of in other recent posts on this forum.

What is the way to install the OS when all you have is 3 disks with ISO images on them? No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thinking.

valhalla-i386-disc files are whole ISO disk images.
You must burn'em as image, not as file (i.e. do not add them to the image pre-created by your burn soft. You must select them as image source).

Copy ISO files back to HD and re-burn as images

In Nero (

http://www.nero.com),

File - Burn Image - browse for the .iso file.

NOPIK:
Amazing what stating the obvious can accomplish for those around you. Thanks you for the answer.
Chris:
Thanks for the thoughtful follow-up. Can Roxio's software do the same? I've never noticed (and I'm not at that computer).

It can, but Nero is much better IMO.

I might need to ammend your last post. Maybe Roxio is supposed to be able to, but can't?

I used the help file to set up an ISO image burn, burned it at 4x, and ended up with a useless disk.

So I downloaded nero, and burned all three disks in about an hour, and all tested good.

Thanks again! We can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and clap as they go by.

I love that quote, LOL


Yeah, Roxio generally sucks. I've had bad luck with it too. You probably could get it working with a little fiddling around, but why would you want to when Nero is available? I use Nero to burn everything except copy-protected discs, and in that case, I use CloneCD.

We have the old EZ CD Creator (pre-Roxio) and that is what I used to create my images. File...Create CD from CD image... find the file.

I didn't have any problems with it. I'm not saying it's great, but it works. A friend has Nero and I found it awkward to work with, but then again, I had never used it before.
