    My Seven disk definitely doesn't boot.
    The attic pc had linux installed on it so I had to install XP (that disk booted fine)
    Then Seven would auto-run (as opposed to boot) and install.


    I had tried to use Nero to convert the Seven disk to a bootable DVD, but it complained about a >2Gfile being incompatible with the ISO standard for bootable DVDs.

    Must admit, I only tried the 64 bit version, but it worked OK for me.

      Not quite sure what you mean by "convert", but are you positive that Nero didn't think you were trying to burn the ISO to a CD rather than a DVD?

      I can highly recommend a Windows utility called ISO Recorder - once installed you can right click on any ISO file and burn it to DVD.

      Hope that helps.
      Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

        I should have said I had the 32-bit bersion.


        Nero does the 'burn from an ISO' and I had the DVD option selected.
        I've used it in the past to make customised XP installations.

        Nero's objection was to any individual file being over 2G rather than the capacity of the disk itself.

        Anyway, it's installed now.........all I need is a video driver.
        Wonder if the wife would let me splash out on a newer card....probably not.
