Just diverting the discussion a bit. Can someone tell me what difference it makes in burning an iso image and just merely copying files from a CD to another one? How does it affect the CD properties like whether it is bootable?
Same way as the difference between copying files from one hard disk to another and imaging a hard drive onto another. The boot records get copied when you image the whole hard disk. You cannot simply copy and paste the boot records as you do with files.

Hi,
I also has the same problem with a ISO downloaded from one of the mirror i guess gd.tuwein ... the ISO itself wasnt bootable so i scrapped that iso and downloaded the one located @ db.ilug-bom.org.in and this ISO works fine ........
It doesnt matter which software you choose while writing ISO images, Easy CD, Nero or cdrecord all of them will write the image in the same fashion, so its not the fault of the CD writing software its the fault of ISO Image creator....
So those who have got a non-bootable ISO Images get another one frm alternative mirrors.
