Forgive me if I misunderstood your post, it appeared you > burned the file straight to CD. It's very likely that the original poster (whose name you have omitted) didn't supply enough information, but that's no reason to suggest using Microsoft. I currently have a draft description of how to create and burn ISOs at http://www.lemis.com/burncd.ps. It only covers SCSI (you need a different program, burncd, for that). If anybody can send me some sample output similar to the SCSI stuff, I'd be grateful. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients. If you don't, I may ignore the reply.
