Installing ISO's

[Guest]

I recently aquired a copy of Linux Mandrake 10.0. The whole cd that was burnt is in an ISO Format, and wont load or execute from my XP system. If I download ISOBUSTER will i be able to execute this file and run it as a normal .exe property?

Any insight would be appreciated.

Did you actually burn the .ISO file to the CD?
If you did this will not work. You need a 3rd aprty program such as Nero
www.nero.com that recognizes ISO images and use it to burn the CD.
The ISO file can't be run "AS IS" it is only an image.

Usually you would use cd burning software (Roxio EasyCD, Nero etc.) to
make a cd from the iso file. The resulting cd would then run in XP. At
least that's what I've always done with iso files.

Do you see a bunch of files on the CD? If so, you probably burnt it OK and
need to reboot with the CD in the drive, after making sure that your BIOS is
set to boot from CD first.

If you just see a file on the CD called 'something.iso' you burnt it wrong
and need to look for instructions how to do that first.

Then go to my first suggestion.

Oh, and the answer to your last question is 'no'.

On XP I dont see anything at all. When i try and boot from cd or from explorer. I thought mabey xp didnt show anything so i put 98 on. Not with 98 i can see that there is 10.0 community on the disk but when i try to display the files, i get the blue screen of death every time..

Use CDBurn from above to make CD.

You want IsoRecorder (free) from
http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm
to burn the download to a CD
That should then boot if you set the boot order in BIOS to CD first
