RVDowning Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I used to use the mondo/mindi backup suite which makes a bootable dvd. It has kind of stopped working after moving to 2009.0. Namely, the dvd is no longer able to be booted. However, I forgot that the dvd was in the drive and brought up VirtualBox and then brought up WinXP. WinXP booted from the dvd! Interesting that Mandriva 2009.0 can't boot from the dvd, but WinXP can. Of course, the dvd still isn't right. Instead of just doing a regular boot from the dvd it gets to a point when it wants a boot floppy to be inserted. I don't have a floppy drive, so something with the mondo/mindo suite or 2009.0 is screwed up. (Obviously, in the bios, the dvd is listed as the first bootable device.)
