I am trying to burn an ISO file (Knoppix) onto a bootable CD.
I have looked pretty far back in this group and not found a
related thread -- sorry if I missed one.

I do the following:

1. Extract a boot record (?) from my WinXP Pro bootable re-install disk and move it into the image area.

2. Move my ISO file into the image area.

3. Highlight the boot-record file in the image area and click on the blue gearwheel icon to "set" the boot file.

4. Click on the "burn cd" icon.

5. Select a write speed (4x for a CD-RW).

6. Click "burn".

The resulting disk will not boot, but gives the message "Couldn't find NTLDR" and goes on to boot Windows.

I know I am doing (or not doing) something stupid, but I can't seem to discover what without some help.

TIA

The Knoppix ISO should be a bootable CD image, just open it and burn directly.

THAT was my problem!  The burn went very well.

I guess I'll be a little smarter next time.

Thank you very much!
