An ISO is an image of a cd(in this case). What you did was to copy the iso image to a cd. What you should have done was to tell your burning software to convert the image to a readable disc and burn that. http://www.linuxiso.org/viewdoc.php/neroburning.html gives you step by step instructions for Nero

You need to burn it as an image. How you do that depends on the software you're using. If you can seethe file with the .iso extension on it after burning and mounting the disc, you burned it as data.

You need to test the integrity of the .iso file by comparing the md5 checksum of the file you've got with the checksum of the file on the ftp server. Under Linux you cand do that by typing: � md5sum knoppix_V3.3-2003-11-19-EN.iso the output should be: �8f841bae907f828ed7a36a0213746ab1 (i found it by googling) If you only have a windows system use fsum. Download it from: http://download.com.com/3000-2248-10223927.html?tag=lst-0-1 and then run � fsum knoppix_V3.3-2003-11-19-EN.iso , if the output differs from �8f841bae907f828ed7a36a0213746ab1 your image is broken. You ned to erase it and download it again. If you use and ordinary ftp client be sure to set your download mode to binary, not ascii. When you've got the file and you're sure of it's integrity proceed to step 2. Download CD Pisac from http://download.com.com/3000-2248-9033903.html or directly http://www.vdsworld.com/~vuks/bin2/cdpisac.cab It's a windows version of some of the cdrecording tools used under Linux. I know it has a GUI, I don't exactly remember the options, but �you cand write the CD in command line like this: cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 speed=16 knoppix_V3.3-2003-11-19-EN.iso This sould be it. If you run into problems be sure to read the documentation provided with the software you are using. HTH, Dragos Manac
