smary   14 #40 Posted July 5, 2013 I downloaded the program and saved it on my desktop - extracted the files then used Nero to make a data cd. Unfortunately the program seems bigger then the cd so I didnt copy the text files over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Dardandec   32 #41 Posted July 5, 2013 (edited) Download img burn from HERE free.  Use original iso file, Not extracted files and burn to disk using "Write image file to disc" on img burn.   Edit: you might have to extract to get the proper iso file.

Paul Blade   10 #43 Posted July 5, 2013 I downloaded the program and saved it on my desktop - extracted the files then used Nero to make a data cd. Unfortunately the program seems bigger then the cd so I didnt copy the text files over.  Bingo I knew we would get there in the end I don't use nero for a while I use this it is a good prog and small Download it and install it Download this the link is halfway down the page Unzip it to desktop There will be a file called 'Hiren's.BootCD.15.2' (It may say it's a zip file) right click mouse on it and then 'open with' chose IMGBurn IT IS a ZIP FILE INSIDE THE ORIGINAL ZIP FILE YOU DOWNLOADED Insert blank cd then click on burn and accept anything it asks That 1 iso is all that should be on CD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Dardandec   32 #44 Posted July 5, 2013 what do you mean use the original iso file - do you mean the zip file  Yeah if its zipped, unzip it then use that on img burn, the full iso file will give the full "program image" to be burned to disc, which hopefully will work.

Paul Blade   10 #47 Posted July 5, 2013 thanks for that Paul - I am sure its easy and I am sure I will do it - I don't like to give in. Hopefully the download will finish before I go to bed!!!!  If you double click on Burncdcc icom it will open straight up (no install) click on browse at side of File Image It should just say "Hiren's.BootCD.15.2" click on it insert empty disk and click on start simple The reason it wasn't working before was you were making a data disk with everything not the boot disk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
