Linux ISOs will not work properly after burning with Fedora Core's .iso writer


Hello, everyone!

I've got a friend who's got a Windows box that won't boot up. She wants to get files off of the hard drive before I attempt to screw around with it/reformat it.

So I grab the Knoppix 3.7 distro off of linuxisos.org, and I burn the .iso image to a CD using the right click menu. Okay. That was easy.

Unfortunately, I take the CDs home and I can't boot Knoppix up.

The same thing happened to a SuSE Professional 9.2 install I was looking at - I used the same procedure, but the installation disc can't find the packages and can't install anything at all.

I am confuzzled as to how this could be - has anyone else experienced this problem, and if so, is there a solution or a workaround?

In advance, sorry if this is already in the answers section.

if you have just one iso file on your cd then you burnt the image wrong. try this

cdrecord dev=(use --scanbus to find out what your devs are) *.iso

on my pc i would burn and iso like this

cdrecord dev=0,0,0 test.iso

if your using a 2.6 kernel you dont need ide-scsi so you can burn the image like this

cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc test.iso
