making a bootable cd with k3b

argarc · 02-05-2005, 01:03 PM

I'm new to linux and k3b. I want to make a bootable data cd with k3b. I've read the man file and the k3b handbook but couldn't find anything about this subject.

The cd will contain the contents of a win2000 installation cd which is in one of my fat32 windows partitions. In order to make a possible future windows 2000 install, I need this cd to be bootable. I'll be using k3b in Knoppix 3.6 and here is the version information about k3b :

Qt: 3.2.3
KDE: 3.2.3
K3b: 0.11.13

I'll be glad for your help.

Go to tools, there's a burn CD image in there. That's the option to create a bootable CD with the ISO file you want to burn.

Thanks darkleaf, but where can I find the ISO image file for the kind of cd I'll be burning ?(the one I described above for win2000 installation)

I don't think you can get a iso like that. I suppose you have to pay for it in anyway. Don't you have a windows installation CD already? If you have windows and no such CD you can go to your shop and ask one since you have the right to getting such a CD.

And do you mean you have a win2k partition or a win2k cd on a partition?

edit: I can't make this up from your post but if you intend to do these kind of things in a non-legal way we can't help here much more since it's against forum rules to discuss these things.
