When you burned the iso did you tell the disk burning software that is was an iso and not just copy the iso directly on to the disk?EagerLearner wrote: »Hi Proliant and TonyLisa - please be aware I have very little tech knowledge so some of the things you are saying may need to be clarified.

I have done what was suggested and downloaded memtest.iso then burned to dvd (we have no cd's at the moment) - however the pc did not boot from the dvd when I restarted. It just logs me on as normal.
I tried to go into F2 settings but saw nothing that allowed me to boot from the cd drive.
I tried to 'run' from the run command and it keeps opening in Roxio?Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.0 -
I asked it to burn as an image which is what I think was needed? Will try again tonight... it's not the DVD that's the problem is it - should I use a CD? Need to buy more.MFW #185

Go to your CD burning software, and choose to burn from an image file. Simply point to the memtest.iso file and hit the "burn" button.
There is a subtle difference!:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0 -
in nero it is under the 'recorder' heading in the menu and just click burn image and it will let you choose the iso image you want to burn.
Your computer may have a different key to press for boot devices, on mine it is F8 which brings up a little blue box and you can choose what to boot from.0
