I give up trying to write iso file :(



I give up.

I have wasted 6 disks trying to create a Linux disk.



I have 4 different popular Linux versions iso files.



A) I right click any of them and the option for Roxio to write it to disk
pops up.

I select start and it writes only 10% and then it stops and does nothing.

The computer is new and the drive works fine.



B) I tried to 'create a project' and selected to make a bootable disk.



It wrote the disk.



I restart. My bios is set to read the DVD drive D: first on startup.

I get a black screen and a blinking cursor and nothing else.



Any ideas?



Thanks.
