What's the story about making an image of the DVD version of ubuntu 7.04?


Are you burning the iso as an image, or are you trying to just burn the
dvd .iso file to the CD (d:\gutsydvd.iso)?

You need to burn it as an image, not a file.

I'm trying to burn it as an image by right clicking on the iso icon and
copying to disk (DVD).. This method has worked
several times in burning CD images. What happens when I tried burning
to DVD, a notice comes up saying the disk doesn't have
enough space. The iso is on the order of 4.45 GB and the DVD is 4.7 GB.

This was a straightforward download ---I didn't try to make any changes.

Isn't the image always considerably larger than the iso?
