Guest gloomer Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 I used Nero 7 Premium edition to burn the single Mandriva free 2007 gnome edition. I've burnt the full free dvd one as well. Both linger at the startup point where it says boot from cd: it hangs there for a while, and then ignores it and keeps going. It's supposed to be bootable and it's not working. I've wasted 10 or so dvd and cd discs. I'm running out of options. My burn speed was always 4x. My ultimate goal is running a dual boot with Mandriva 2007 and Windows XP home edition. Thank you for your help. Much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Welcome aboard :) Have you made a md5sum check in order to verify that your downloads were not corrupt? (check the FAQ section of this board on how to do md5sum checks) And is the laser-lens of your drive clean? Also: Have you burned the files simply onto the CD/DVD or have you burned a CD/DVD from the image? That are two very different things. If you burn the iso file onto the CD, then there won't be a bootsector burned on the CD/DVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
