Re: 4.7 GB Gutsy Gibbon DVD Image won't fit on my 4.4 GB DVD Rom

I do live in New York City. I could probably get a burned DVD down the
street. But! I worked it out. Roxio has moved on to some technology
that its user fora don't care for very much. The way to burn an ISO to
a DVD is to launch 'Creator Classic.' That's right -- they include an
older version of their software as a tacit admission that the current
version isn't going to meet one's needs. I guess it's great at
arranging movies into menus, but I also failed trying to burn a TiVo
recording.

Actually, like anything else, once you know how to do it, it's a snap.
Launch 'Creator Classic' from Start/Programs/Roxio/Data and 'Burn from
Disk Image File' is under 'Other Tasks' the second (of two) command
grouping in the left pane. Browse to the iso file and you're off to
the races.

So, I have a bootable DVD. I've booted from it, and got through the
installation to the disk partition bit. I have officially passed this
problem.

Thanks for the help!

Somewhere in your burn toolkit there _should_ be a simple "burn

It's there, but it's burried and called something totaly weird, some
Windows doublespeak crap. It's not in any of the normal burn menus. Last
time I had to use Roxio, I was reduced to a gibbering screaming maniac
before I found the !@#$%^&* option.

k3b is *so* much nicer.

I'd say that's some of the problem. The original poster is using software
that I sure don't have, so what should be a simple thing, just looking
at what's available, isn't an option for me, and likely others too.

This got me curious....

Roxio (at least the one on my XP box) installed about 20 *different*
programs.

To create a CD/DVD from .iso, you don't use the disk creator, but the
disk copier. <sarcasm> This should be obvious to everyone, right?
</sarcasm>

Then you click on the "Advanced" option, and in the "Source" pane, you
select "Disc Image or DVD video folder", click on "Select" and pick your
ISO.

Then in the destination pane you select "Recorder", which, presumably
shows your DVD burner.

Click on "Burn" and cross your fingers.

Like I said, k3b is much easier.
