Creating a bootable windows disc?
Posted: Mon May 23, 2005 8:07 pm
so i have two 64-bit computers at the moment and want to fool around with the 64-bit of longhorn on one of them. The only problem though is that after burning the image it doesn't want to boot. a message basically says something like checking the media drive's cable and then after that it says to insert a bootable disc.
well my version of XP will boot just fine but that's also not a burned copy.
is there something i need to add, like a folder with certian drivers that will make the disc bootable? also, i'm trying to do this with a DVD so i don't know if that changes things at all.
one last thing; is there any burning software that would best for this or is it pretty much whatever i'm more used to using will work just fine?
