Hello,

I found an old Fedora Core 3 DVD disk laying around and I decided
to see if it could boot fromit on my IBM ThinkPad T-30. To my surprise,
I was able to boot from this disk. I have an NEC 8-X DVD +R/RW
Dual-Layer Burner which I bought a few days ago. I have burned several
Fedora Core 6 DVD iso images to disk but I am not able to boot from any
of these disks. I am more than sure that it is not the bios setup of my
computer because I have set it to boot from the CD-ROM setting. The
only thing left that I can think of is that it may have something to do
with the media. I am using DVD +R media, 16x. I also notice that the
Fedora Core 3 DVD disk is not purple on its burn side (it is clear)
whereas the DVD disks that I burned the images to are purple. Is the
reason why they may not be bootable? Has anyone else had this problem.
I don't believe its because of the hardware (even though the laptop
itself is almost four years old). Has anyone been able to successfully
burn bootable Fedora Core 6 iso images to DVD disks? May it have
something to do with the boot loader? Any help is appreciated.

Can you 'look at' (open) the DVD? Does it show one large file named
<something>.iso or directories with files?

In other words did you copy the ISO to the DVD? Or did you burn an ISO
image to the DVD? You should have done the second one and you should see
directories and files.
