Ross L. Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 It's been a long time since I last touched Mandriva (9.0 to eb exact) and recently, I decided I would use it again. However, after downloading the ISO's and attempting to make some CD's that would be bootable, I only succeeded in wasting 2 CDs. If it helps I am trying to burn 10.1 onto 700MB CD-R's using Nero Express. Any tips? I tried looking through the FAQ section and all the links to other sites that might ahve been useful were dead. At any rate, I would appreciate it a lot if someone would get back to me soon, as this is a present for a friend. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 What's that Nero Express? Burning an ISO to CD is trivial (using numerous methods), unless you are a "Nero Express" fan... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 First thing: Mandriva 2005 LE is the latest download version of Mandrake/Mandriva - due to improvements especially (but not only) on the USB storage front, I'd really recommend to get that, instead of 10.1. Second, to burn an iso image, you should use that option in your burning application; it may go by any name that hints at the same thing, such as: burn image, burn cd iso, burn ... Well, you get the idea... If you managed to find this option and it didn't work, explain what you did more in detail. Last thing: scarecrow, I don't see how your comment might be helpful - there are other parts for chitchatting and talking nonsense...

scarecrow Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Last thing: scarecrow, I don't see how your comment might be helpful - there are other parts for chitchatting and talking nonsense... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> People that use "Nero Express" (an pitiful windows application) do it mainly because their OEM drive came bundled with some sort of of it. But since the UI is utterly stupid, they hardly get that for burning an ISO you must pick "burn image" from the analogous menu and not drag/drop the file to the UI window. BTW I would really love to chat nonsense, if you give me a second chance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everytime I go to install Linux on this PC, it gives me an I/O error and I am quite unsure why. :S *EDIT* And I just checked and I am trying to install LE 2005, not 10.1. My mistake. >< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 I get that scarecrow, but I don't think Ross here is a big fan of nero express, he's smart enough to give Linux a try,.. :D Ross, do you at least get the first screen? To where do you get? Please describe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross L. Posted August 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Ahhh. I fixed it. The I/O Error was being caused by a bad CD-RW drive, and after that, it installed perfectly. In fact I could be posting from the Linux pc if I wasn't being lazy, and being sleep deprived from playing Battle for Wesnoth all night. >< Darn game! Why must it be so addicting?!!
