How do I >proceed ? You should have just copied the CD, then it would have worked (assuming no bad media or bad burn). Instead, you copied the *contents* of the CD and remastered a new ISO image. That does not provide any useful benefit, and is why it wont boot. Just copy the CD properly and it should work. Again assuming the original CD is not bad, and that your burn is successful and passes mediacheck. -- Mike A.
