I have been trying to make a bootable Win2K dvd but all that I can find is this guide, its for cd's not DVD's and is for Nero 6, I have Nero 7, Does anyone know where I can get a guide for a DVD, I attempted to use the same CD guide for a DVD but when I tried to boot the DVD it said NTLDR missing or something similar, I may have just made a mistake with settings but I dont have many DVD's left and I dont want to repeat the same mistake.

Sorry for the long winded Explenation

Thanx in advance

Get a DVDRW. I don't know what else to tell you as I've downloaded Linux Install DVDs and booted to them just like a CD. Make sure your CD/DVD drive is your #1 boot drive, also I think there is an option in Nero to choose to make the disc bootable, but 9 out of 10 times the ISO will do that automagically, so I'd double check that too.

The size of the windows 2k install is like 2gb (slipstreamed progs), I tried again to burn the bootable disk and the same message cannot find NTLDR, I followed the instructions in my first post to the T but still nothing, Can anyone point me towards a guide for nero 7 and for dvd's
 
Well this pertains to Nero6 not Nero7 (Google is your friend) but I doubt much is different from 6 to 7. Anyway, seeing as how I have Win2KPro and it's on 1 CD but fully installed is about 2GB then I think I KNOW what you're trying to do with that and I can't/shouldn't help you with that. You will not get a missing NTLDR error message if you're trying to boot to an unbootable disc, however if that disc contained a full OS install that you were trying to boot to.... :shrug:
