Linux Cinnamon burned ISO not booting.
I'm running Win 7 64 bit.
Just burned Cinnamon iso by right clicking iso and 'burn disc image', there are 10 files but I can't get the disc to boot. The last time I installed Linux it booted over the top of XP..... have I done something wrong? There doesn't appear to no auto run, mind you, I haven't tried installing on a blank hard drive as yet, thanks. Dave |
Sorted...!
Bootloader required which Win 7 does not provide. Dave |
Maybe you should explain.
The iso will incorporate a bootloader - are you perhaps talking about the boot device selection screen in the firmware ?. |
Did you check the BIOS to make sure that booting from CD has priority over booting from harddive?

I've not tried booting and installing yet, I am aware the boot sequence needs to be configured.... as I remember the last one I did it booted over the top of windows XP and win 7.
When creating disc image with Win 7 it does not make the disc 'bootable'. As syg00 stated 'I too' would have expected the iso make the CD/DVD bootable. I first used Win 7 by right clicking the iso this give me 10 files, then I tried Rufus it came up saying I needed to download two other files or something, this also give me 10 files on the installation disc so I tried Unetbootin this give me 16 files. Sooo, when I get time I'll lob a spare drive in and give the disc a whirl, what caused the confusion is I remembered Linux booting over the top of a windows XP and Win7, I think this is what you call 'live boot' isn't it? I was hoping to install Linux on a friends computer in place of Win 10 when I get it which he is forever having problems with, any problems I'll buy a install stick or disc. Dave. |
Just for info, the Mint instructions recommend Etcher to create the bootable medium.
