First off you need to have a dos based program called MD5SUM.exe. This file is used to get the checksum number of the file you down loaded. The checksums are in the directory with the isos. after you run this program it will produce a magic number if it matches the one in the file you're good to go. I was able to use NERO on my Win 95 ( don't laugh it works when it wants too) pc and follow the wizard and burn the cd rom. The longest part of this is the download. It should be started right before bed. Chauncey Smith Good luck and welcome aboard.
