I had a bad copy of the beta, the MD5 didn't check out, and it was giving me
the 8007241 error code, so I redownloaded it, took about an hour. I checked
the MD5 and it was good. So then i tried to burn it, but heres the issue.
Nero wants to burn it as a cd, not a dvd, even though the file is the correct
3.12Gb size. The other one i had, the one with the bad MD5, Nero wants to
burn as a dvd. So whats wrong here, why is it showing up as a .iso for a cd,
not a dvd? Is there any small, unovtrusive, easily removed burining rom that
I can use to force it to burn as a dvd? Thanks for any help.
 
would be nice to see a dvd issue that did not end with a post like this from
rick! (and i am probably opening myself up to a flaming...)

More helpful:
what version of nero are you using? I am guessing that the first copy with
an incorrect md5 burnt to dvd ok otherwise you would not have tried the
install and run into the error? if did not burn it successfully: can you
burn a dvd at all with nero? Could be as simple as having a cdburner
selected instead of the dvd burner when you open the image file... i have
done this at least once and it was confusing as hell until i realised my
mistake.
Can you mount the image from a utility such as daemon tools? if so does the
mounted image open correctly with a full file system?

I am assuming XPSP2 is your os?

More information would be helpful and might save you another 3gig download
if there is nothing wrong with the image.
