Iso Download

Beta tester? Hmmm. Anyway you will need to convert the ISO file.that you have downloaded first before you can install it. Do you have a program such as Nero or Roxio etc?

Possibly the burn was too fast. Try burning it again at 2x and see what
happens. Somehow Microsoft's ISO images are more sensitive to burn speed
than others.

You should probably take this discussion into the beta newsgroups.

You can't just burn the iso image to DVD straight away, you need to use a
program that will extract the iso image and create a bootable DVD.

Uh, what?

I've never seen an ISO come out of Microsoft that wasn't an image of a
*bootable* CD/DVD. *Many* times I've just downloaded one of their ISOs,
burned it with Nero, and booted straight off of it. Or just booted off the
ISO file itself with VMware.

Extracting the ISO file, is that specific to the burning utility you have
installed? I don't need to do this with NERO, just select burn image on the
main menu, open the ISO and it automatically sets it at a burn speed of 2x
and burns successfully.

Yeh, Nero does a bootable version of this. However, if you can burn the ISO
using Nero (DVD setting, Create Bootable Disk makes it easier) and then burn
at 2x speed as Pierre said - try that and see if it works. However if that
fails, try copying the files then from the DVD you've made to a folder on
the desktop and run it from there. That's how I did it on one of my
machines, because it threw back an error about some file missing also )

Peter what are you talking about. You dont convert it you just burn it to a
DVD. If you dont know then dont speak.
Sorry to put it that way but you cant convert that type of iso sorry to say.
And if you can then let us all know how and what you used to do it

Thanks
