>Best of ISO burning under Windows.</H3>
<p align="right"><strong>Answers From
Robert L Keeney, G<>tz Waschk, Simon Rowe, Chris Olsen, Ed Wiget
</strong></p>
<p>We had a general request for burning CD images under Windows:
<a hrhef="../../issue65/lg_mail65.html#wanted/1"
>http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue65/lg_mail65.html#wanted/1</a>
</p>
<p><strong>
I've downloaded the ISO file. Now what do I do
with it? I've burned a CD and it won't boot with it.
</strong></p>
<p>
We got a lot of answers
<IMG SRC="../../../gx/dennis/smily.gif" ALT=":)"
height="24" width="20" align="middle">
Here's the best ones:
</p>
<h4>MULTIPLE DIRECTIONS</h4>
<p>
Although most of these are Linux, there's a few Windows and at least one
Macintosh program shown.
</p>
<blockquote><img src="../../gx/dennis/bbub.gif" height="28" width="50"
alt="(!)" border="0"> [Robert L Keeney]
The adaptec instructions worked for me. The others I haven't tried.
</blockquote>
<blockquote>

>http://www.linuxiso.org/cdburninginfo.html</a>
</blockquote>
<h4>CDRECORD</h4>
<p>In the original our querent complained that the Howto instructed him
in cdrecord...</p>
<blockquote><img src="../../gx/dennis/bbub.gif" height="28" width="50"
alt="(!)" border="0"> [G<>tz Waschk]
This program is portable and the windows version shares the parameters
with the linux version.
</blockquote>
<blockquote><dl><dt>
There is a binary for windows at:
<dd><a href="ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/cdrecord/alpha/win32/"
>ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/cdrecord/alpha/win32/</a>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
First you have to find out the SCSI id of your CD recorder with
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<code>
cdrecord -scanbus
</code>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
...than you can burn the image with
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<code>
cdrecord -device &lt;your_id&gt; filename.iso
</code>
</blockquote>
<h4>NERO BURNING</h4>
<p>A different reader noted that Nero Burning's FAQ on their website gives a
step by step example of burning a Redhat image to a disc.</p>
<blockquote><img src="../../gx/dennis/bbub.gif" height="28" width="50"
alt="(!)" border="0">[Simon Rowe]
change the file extension to 'NRG' eg
<br>SuSE71.iso ---> SuSE71.nrg
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
The Nero software will then recognise the ISO image correctly, and should
burn it ok using the applications defaults (in version 5.x anyway!)
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
Once the filename extension has been changed, just double click the file in
Windows, and Nero should load ready to burn the ISO image. This works under
Windows 2000 and Windows 9x., I have not abused my computer with Windows ME
to try it there though
<IMG SRC="../../gx/dennis/smily.gif" ALT=":)"
height="24" width="20" align="middle">
</blockquote>
<h4>ADAPTEC EZ CD</h4>
<blockquote><img src="../../gx/dennis/bbub.gif" height="28" width="50"
alt="(!)" border="0"> [Chris Olsen]
EZ-CD Creator will handle iso's really easily, just install it, and you can
right click the .iso image and select record to cd. Presto, a proper image,
not one big file on CD.
</blockquote>
<blockquote><img src="../../gx/dennis/bbub.gif" height="28" width="50"
alt="(!)" border="0"> [Ed Wiget]
Windows 98 + Adaptec EZ CD Creator 4.xx
<ol>
<li> download the iso file for the distribution you wish to create cd's.
<li> assuming you already have Windows 98 on that machine and Adaptec EZ CD
Creator installed, you need to close everything down in the taskbar next to
the clock (no programs except systray and explorer should show up if you
press ctrl+alt+del).
<li> to make sure the large iso file is continuous, you should defragment
your hard drives. As an added measure, you should also clear your temp
folder of any files on C:\TEMP and C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
<blockquote>
I would hope this isn't actually necessary, it <em>should</em> be
making regular Windows filesystem calls to get at the bits, but
it might make it burn faster. My suspicion is that more of that
speed would be from a general Windows speedup, if it's been awhile
since your last defragmentation.
</blockquote>
<li> Open EZ CD Creator, and select Data CD
<li> From the File menu, select Create CD from CD Image (almost all cd
recording software for windows uses a similar statement to distringuish an
ISO file from normal data files)
<li> EZ CD Creator by default looks for a *.cif file, change this to iso from
the drop-down list in Files of Type.
<blockquote>
note: another reader commented that 4.02d defaults to extension
.cdi ... I suppose it would be nice if these Windows
burning programs would learn to agree on something. *sigh*
</blockquote>
<li> Browse to the location of the downloaded iso file and select it.
<li> Select Open
<li> The buttons Create CD, Track at Once, and Close CD should be selected.
<li> Select the speed of your CD-Recorder
<li> Select O.K.
<li> When it is finished recording the CD, place it in another computer and
make sure you can see the CD's contents.
</ol>
</blockquote>
<p>To which I will add, these may be mostly Linux binary programs on our
discs, but you should be able to mount up the disc and see their names,
at least. That's what all those "TRANS.TBL" files you might see are ...
support for long names on a CD filesystem.</p>
<p>Thanks to everybody who wrote in!
