hitest Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Probably a dumb question, but, have you set your CD ROM drive as the first bootable device? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tictoc5150 Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Hey Mike,what burning app are you using?...nero?If so, are you burning the iso as an image, not a data cd?...(ex. file>burn image>browse to the iso and burn it)If thats what you did and still get coasters, I'm not sure what the problem is Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gwyrox732 Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 if you put one of your coasters in the drive while the computer is on/booted/etc and you explore it, do you see a few different files or just one?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikex Posted January 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 don't remember right now will post back when I get to my home machine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikex Posted January 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 In Knoppix folder I have a knoppix ~type is file. Using Alcohol 120% The file I downloaded was picked up by winrar. Changed the association alcohol picked up the ISO. I could then mount it in a virtual drive. I get the index_en.html file, want to do now? Where do I go?I think Alcohol will burn the ISO with no problems.M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gwyrox732 Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 alcohol mounts the iso and all you get is an html file? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Not sure if your Q was answered or not, but check here.Its a howto burn an iso, and the last post, I included a free burner that works well. I hope that helps.M@ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikex Posted February 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Can burn the image but all I get is the html screen. Loaded the image into Alcohol 120% same result. I must be missing something. Stepping back for a breather, will make more coasters later.M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iccaros Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 ?? you mean all you see is a html file when you view the disk... ??? try getting a dsl cd or another live linux cd and see if they boot. your system may not like linux boot partitions.. ..by the way ona new knoppix cd alls you should see in winders is a HTML file. but check how much disk space is used.. aroung 650 megs.. or more?? I have seen a lot of people say.."i'll try linux on an old machine.. but not all oldmachines can do ELToro boot partitions.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
