I've been trying on and off for a really long time to burn bootable Solaris and Linux CDs from iso images, never with any success. Most recently, I've tried with a solaris 9 iso image and the hardware and software shown below, and a CD-R CD. What I think happens is that the iso has two parts, the boot area and the regular data. It burns the boot area onto the non-boot part of the CD, then quits because it doesn't know what to do with the rest of the data. The command I used was "Copy>Burn Images". In Tools>Options>Data, I have the following settings:
Type: Disc at Once (DAO), Closed
Mode: Mode 1
File System: ISO +Joliet (106 character file names)
Just for the heck of it, in the DVD section, I set it to “I only need to use discs for one recording.” Also just for the heck of it, under Tools>Options>Data Archive, I set the Destination File Structure to “Copy file structure from my source selection”.
Should I be using a CD I can write to more than once? Should I be using a different Creator “Module” to do this? There’s a limit to how many CDs I want to waste trying to get this to work, or I’d keep trying different combos.
Here’s the OS and hardware I’m using:
Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002 SP2

Hi Folks,
