Hi guys,

As you may realise shortly I'm kinda new to Ultra ISO (seems like a fantastic tool)... I have an iso image which I have made bootable but now it won't fit back on a CDr...  ???

In the bottom window I opened the iso, right clicked and set as bootfile (it then gets busy 'backing up bootable image' or something like that). I then go to bootable option and go to genenrate bootinfotable and check it. Then save it. Then tey to burn it with ultra iso and it tells me theres not enough room on the CDr - even though its an 800mb blank CDr... ???

I have probably missed something glaringly obvious and will not doubt be left somewhat embarressed when I get told I'm a thicko, but hey... If anyone can help, I'd be a very happy chappy...  :D

Please note that 'boot file' is a special program, which can boot your computer from power on status. It is not plain file (ISO, TXT, EXE, etc.).

In general, you can use a 1.2/1.44/2.88MB floppy disk image as boot file, or extract boot file from an  bootable CD such as Windows XP.
