With Windows Explorer , position on the .iso file and double click . When Nero starts directly burn the "image" . Do NOT select any Make Data , or Copy Data etc. item from menus . Directly burning an .iso file will create a boot enabled CD 9660 file system . If you burn a data CD from .iso file , it will not record boot sector , i.e. , it will not be boot enabled properly .
