How to burn an ISO file (suggestions) on DVD

For those that downloaded the Vista beta 2 iso image(s) and don't know how
to burn it to DVD.

http://iso.snoekonline.com/iso.htm

Burning the ISO Image in NERO and Roxio Easy CD Creator:
NERO
Insert a Blank DVD, open Nero StartSmart > change the media type to DVD >
select Copy and Backup > click "Burn Image to Disc" > navigate to where the
Windows Vista BETA 2 Image is stored on your hard disk, (note: if you don't
see it, make sure the image file type is changed to ISO" click Open and the
burning wizard will automatically start.

Roxio
Open Creator Classic > click File > "Record Disc from Image" > navigate to
where the Windows Vista BETA 2 Image is stored >click Open and the burning
wizard will automatically start.

Ensure that the ISO burns at a low speed, recommended speed, 2x for best
results.

Andre;

Am I able to in any way check the dvd after I burn it (Nero 6 Express) to
ensure that it burned correctly? Would I be able to use "FileCheckMD5?" If
so, how? (I don't seem to be able to figure it out) I think you mentioned
it somewhere in the forum but now I can't find it.

I really appreciate the patience you have wih all us newbies asking the same
question over and over!

I don't use that one, I use the one from Ahead Nero
http://ww2.nero.com/nero6/eng/Nero_MD5_Verifier.html

Here are the MD5/CRC values for x86 or x64 depending on which every ISO you
downloaded:

x86
- File Size = 3.12 GB (3,355,598,848 bytes)
- CRC Value = 0x67E089E0
- MD5 Value = 0E733AB1A8E8FF9A8684FD3639332773
x64
- File Size = 4.01 GB (4,309,368,832 bytes)
- CRC Value = 0x48697711
- MD5 Value = E43502D0A15EADD551119D5639859E04

Paste the MD5 Checksum for either x64 or x86 depending on which one you want
check in Step 1, Step 2 - Browse to where you stored the ISO on your drive
and open it and it will automatically start the varification process and
generate the has in the third field, if it matches Step 1, then you are
safe.

Maybe Zack can help you with FileCheckMD5 since it was recommended by him.

I know you must be tired of pasting the same information ad
infinitum/nauseam, but we the unwashed masses sure appreciate both your and
Zack's patience and expertise!

The interface of the Nero product looks simpler and I am slightly proficient
with Nero 6 , so I will try that. Thanks.

I am sure this is already documented elsewhere, but when Nero verifies the
disc after it has been burned, is it verifying the MD5 and the CRC against
the ISO it burned from that is stored on the hard drive (ie the file I
downloaded)?

Its actually verifying the integrity of the disk and if there were any
errors during the actual burn process. The ISO file is what you need to
check, the one you downloaded. Thanks for compliment, appreciate it very
much and I am sure Zack does too. Hope all turns out well for you and your
adventure with Vista BETA 2.

Great! I was able to download the Nero file Checker and it worked great on
the x86 iso. It worked great on the SUSE 10.0 iso. But when I tried either
of the two x64 iso's, I got a runtime error saying Nero was asked to close in
an unusual way!? Obviously there is something wrong with both files! I will
try to download again (Third times a charm, right?)

Thanks for the lessons!

Well, before you download again, you could always give the install a try and
see if it works anyway, since setup failure tends to happen at the begining
way before files are copied to the disk.

Call me crazy, Andre, but I like to have all my ducks in a row before I
attempt something as formidable as this. I have a week or so before I can
migrate anyway, so I plan on using that time to ensure I have a good install
disc. I also have a couple of drivers I am searching out, so that I have
everything set to go when the time comes.

I thank you for the absolutely invaluable advice you have given me, and hope
that I can call on you again if need be.

When I burn the ISO shouldn't it just automatically load when I turn put it
in the drive?

It doesn't.

I tried with both NERO and with ISO burn
