Is Easy CD not burning the CD correctly? > Did you tell the BIOS to boot from a CD? > Hiya Bob, This is how I burn the BSD iso images using Easy CD Creator 4 ( I am being very precise here on purpose .. not because I don't think you know what you are doing .. :-) ) Step one: ( Launching the program ) Start -> Program Files -> Adaptec Easy CD Creator 4 -> Features -> Easy CD Creator. Step two: ( Easy CD Creator is now loaded ) Choose the File menu Choose "Create CD from CD Image... This will bring up a standard windows file window. At the bottom there are two options, File Name and Files of type. Drop down on "Files of type" and select "ISO Image Files ( *.iso ). Browse to the 4.4 iso image and click on it Ok, here is where I am going off of memory as I don't have an iso image on my drive. However, Easy CD Creator should now have a window open asking you if you want to test & copy, how many copies to make, if you want to use Disk at Once .. What I normally do is to choose disk at once to close the disk. click to button to start the burn. Once the disk has been burned, open it using windows explorer. If you see a bunch of files, everything worked. Now all you have to worry about is if you system is set to boot off of your cdrom. Hope that helps, Good luck, Thanatos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
