Burning ISO to DVD disk

[Guest]

I am using Nero 6 and burned the ISO to a disk. I did this twice and both
times when I restarted my computer it failed to recognize the disk. I used
"burn data dvd" because it gave me some UDF error when trying to make
bootable DVD disk

Both are incorrect. You want to select the option to create a disk from an
image. With this option, browse to the ISO file that you downloaded and use
that as the image from which to create the disk.

I used Nero 6 and burned both the x86 and the
x64 .ISO onto DVD+RW discs and both DVDs
installed Vista flawlessly!

You should not be "trying to make a bootable
DVD!" The .ISO is a bootable image. All you do
is select "Burn Image to Disc." I opened Nero
Express and selected "Disc Image or Saved
Project" and then selected the .ISO file I
wanted to burn. That's all there is to it.
Very simple!

Well when I put the DVD in the drive, I burned it using "Data DVD" I am not
clear on your statement. Using Nero 6 where do I go. I select the ISO image
and burned it twice. When I started my computer, it didnt recognize the disk.
Thanks!

I am not sure on your statement. I burned it using data DVD and select the
ISO image and it burned to the DVD. When I restarted it did not recognize the
image and would start up. I burned the DVD twice. Thanks!

If you open Nero StartSmart, make sure you have
DVD selected at the top center, then click on
the "Copy and Backup" icon (second from the
right) and finally "Burn Image to Disc."

If you open Nero Burning ROM, you select
"DVD-ROM(ISO)"

If you open Nero Express, you select "Disc Image
or Saved Project"

Any one of the 3 methods will copy the .ISO
image to a disc.

and apparently, you may have to burn at low speed to get it done right
I was using my DVD8X recorder to burn at 4x on a 16x media to get useable
disk despite my PC is athlon x64 37--+. and I was using Fujifilm not
generic. I generic I tried failed even at 1x!

Not to be cruel, but if you can't burn a simple ISO, even with help, you may
not be quite up to the task of installing or using a beta OS.

I don't know how to explain it any clearer. You want to create a disk from
an image, not burn a data file to the disk. If the many options in Nero are
confusing you, then download and use BurnCDCC from
http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/utilities.html, as that only does one
thing, burn images to disk.

One thing you can do is click on the Nero Express button.
Then click on Disk Image or Saved Project.
Then open the ISO file.
Click the Verify data on disc after burning box.
Then click on Next.
