- Don't that just INFURIATE ya?
-
I thought the days of manufacturers bundling software with their CD/DVD burners which would NOT create bootable disks out of ISO files was past, but one of my clients, just the other day, picked up an off brand burner where the cheapie software didn't do it.
Anyway, usually, if you fire up your current burning software, go to Help and type in "ISO" and/or "Image" it will usually tell you where to go in the menus to perform this process.
An alternative would be to download one of the freebie ISO products and install it on your machine. I'm assuming you're running some version of Windows on your box with your CD/DVD burner, so you might look into one of my favorites which is Active@ ISO burner. You can find it here:
http://www.ntfs.com/iso-burning.htm
You'll also find instructions there on installing it and running it.
WARNING: Sometimes these after-market CD/DVD utilities will muck up your existing CD/DVD software, so if you ARE running another CD/DVD software product be aware you may have to do some uninstalls/reinstalls of your existing stuff: make sure you have those original disks.
DOUBLE WARNING: Make sure you are doing your Ubuntu testing on some throwaway machine! Take, with a BIG grain of salt, the idea that you can repartition the existing drive on your wife's Windows PC and dual boot Windows and Ubuntu! Don't wanna see ya wind up in divorce court over yer Ubuntu experiments!
Enjoy.
