Then I tried burning the disk from Windows 7 (on the same computer) and it worked first go. Maybe something on the Fedora 13 iso is not "liked" by other linux distros? > The problem with all of these tools is that they are not CD burners, they are user interfaces to the real tools. And they assume that what you want to burn is a *file* rather than an *image*, so they create an ISO9660 filesystem holding the file and burn that. Which doesn't work. If you care, try to mount the non-booting CD and see if it mounts as a filesystem with one big file in it. You also might want to install the real cdrecord program, actively maintained by the original author. Works far better for me, but you have to compile yourself. -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen@xxxxxxx> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
