    Hi,

    I've tried nero, easy cd creator, ashampoo burning studio7, magic iso, power iso, and cannot get this to work. I have a program called instantcake that you download from the manufacturers website as an iso file. you're supposed to burn this file as a bootable cd and use it to install files onto your hard drive in dos mode. I've done this about a year ago and can't for the life of me figure out what i did. i've got about 20 coasters sitting here that won't boot up correctly, just a blank cursor. the old version of instant cake i have works fine.

    are there some settings i'm missing for burning this?
    if anyone can help me out or point me to a step by step process for getting this done I'd really appreciate it!

    thank you.

    try burning it with DvDDecryptor.Also, whenever you burn, try doing it at lower speeds. For some reason lower speeds work better.

    just curious, were the setting i was doing in the other programs just not working or what? i mean, in nero is there a way to choose different settings that will let me perform this task in it? was i just choosing the wrong settings?

    Nero and Roxio all have a bunch of settings for putting data on disc or DVD. But ever since imgburn came along thats all I use. I mean it's free, it's works and everyone should consider putting up a little donation to the guy !!
