How do you burn 2 x .iso to a CD-R?

Options
I'd like to have a Hirens Disc (500MB) on the same CD-R as a live Linux OS, but in Roxio for example there doesn't seem to be any option for this. I imagine the CD would need a third bit of software on it to allow you to choose which to boot.

    I would agree with your second sentence. But I've never heard of anything like that, for pre-existing ISOs.

    You might like to investigate how the Ultimate Boot CD copes with multiple pieces of software...

    Use img burn to mount them as one image then burn to disc

    Yes, you can put several of these on a USB stick, for example.
    You'd probably have trouble downloading the disc from the site you quote though; the only link that seems to lead to it is to a German site!

    Scroll down the download page until you see the phrases P2P and Mirror Sites.

    I did actually get as far as P2P first time round, but as that .iso was just a few KB I dismissed this remote section as an irrelevance. IDK what a 'mirror' was before, but still managed to download .iso files. I think it's rather alarming that the people who compile these sites live in such a techie-cloistered world that they assume the public at large will be familiar with the term. Still, I've now managed to find that imgburn download, which is equally well hidden on the official site. :)

    That particular file isn't a disc image - look at the description. :D

    Nope, some of the utilities disappear from Hirens Boot CD when using a USB via unetbootin, including the all-important 'boot XP from HDD'. Rather illogical I thought, so I repeated this process with the same result.

    But it did have 'ISO' right next to it, same as the correct ones did. Somebody at my level of technical competence would presume all ISOs can be made into images. And as for 'magnet link', well, I suspect more than 99% of the British population have never even heard of it!
