[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 1262511, member: 38928"] Also can I suggest that in most of these cases people are burning the [B]FILE[/B] to a disc. What needs to happen is that the [B]DISC IMAGE[/B] needs burning. An ISO is a disc image - it contains an exact replica of a DVD/CD. If the ISO is just burnt to a disc you'll end up with a disc contain one ISO file. The ISO needs to be burnt as an image. Use Disk Utility to 'Burn Image'. This way, so long as the disc image was bootable when it was created (by Microsoft in this case) the disc will end up bootable too. [/QUOTE]
