Q: How do I burn an ISO to a CD using NERO?

A: There are different answers for different versions of Nero.

For Nero 5, start the program. You can just hit CANCEL at the wizard menu to get to the main window. Ues the FILE option in the menu near the top of the screen and select the Burn Image ... option in the sub-menu. Find the ISO that you downloaded in the file open box that pops up. Burn at a slow speed. Do not drag and drop the ISO into the file area. Do not take any option to make the CD bootable.

For Nero 6, full version: The Burn Image ... option in version 6 is gone. Use one of the following: Get to the main menu and then use the Open .... choice under the FILE menu, or under RECORDER in the top menu you will find that Burn Image ... has been moved to this menu. In either case use the box that opens to find the ISO file that you downloaded. Burn at a slow speed. Do not drag and drop the ISO into the file area. Do not take any option to make the CD bootable. When burning with Nero 6, be sure that the option that does a verification check after the burn is enabled (This is true for any software that has this feature, not only Nero 6).

For Nero Smart Start: If you are stuck with this version of Nero, start the application. Point to the 5th icon across the top (the one that shows 2 CDs over a box-like thing). Choose Burn Image to Disc from the menu that changes below the icons. Find the ISO that you downloaded. Burn slowly.

For Nero Express 6: Under the question "What would you like to burn?", pick the last option, Disc Image or Saved Projects. Use the box that opens to find the ISO file that you downloaded. Burn at a slow speed.

I you do not have a copy of Nero you can download a limited time trial version from Ahead Software. This should give you plenty of time to burn your first Knoppix CD. After the trial expires, if you do not choose to buy Nero you can use Knoppix itself to burn future ISO files.

Someone on here said burn it as a ISO file or something like that, thats why I just done it that way. Thanks for that and sorry for the daftness.

Will do it tomorrow, need some sleep.

Thanks Donnie.

Linux Live CD burning process complete. Have booted computer with CD successfully.

It done some loading for a while.

Now I see a desktop, with a screen open in front of me saying 'KNOPPIX INFO'.

Kind of need my computer back now so if anyone can advise me any further would appreciate it.
