As far as the mechanics of burning the ISO image go, I recommend you
use Nero Express. Everything you have to do is on one simple screen.
Under Which recorder would you like to use?, make sure you select the
DVD device, not the CD-R/RW. Then for What would you like to burn?,
select Disk Image. Open the ISO file. Finally put a check before Very
data on disc after burning.

Sorry for the misfire earlier Warrensm--
I had an IE "crash" the way those cute little Apple commercials hint you can
with the guys in the box and now the foxy Japanese girl, and some how it
"sent." I love it when Windows says "Bonjiourno" to the lady--it captures a
lot of the essence of the Windows OS and the MSFT culture.
Whenever I see a post in the ballpark of yours I don't split hairs between a
botched download or a botched ISO burn--they are both high on the list
although most of us I think, would agree that ISO burn problems are at the
top of the list. Maybe this will help.
The most common causes of your problem far and away statistically are a
problem with a truncated download at some point corrupting your ISO or a
problem with the burn.
1) Burn slowly. Beta 2 instructions on their "get the beta" page of 1-2X,
but I have never
been disappointed with 4X. Some of this probably varies with the DVD writer
and the media.
2) Make sure to select an ISO tab if there is one on the burning software,
and make sure to close the session on the burn.
3) Try this tweak on your Windows XP drive and burn from there:
Get to Dev Manager by typing devmgmt.msc in run/win key + pause break or
Rt.click My Computer>Prop>hardware tab>Device Manager if you like 5 steps
instead of one cmd. If you're set to PMI here change to DMO and if set to
DMO change to PMI using these 5 steps:
1) Click the + in front of IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers
2) Double Click the Secondary IDE Controller
3) Click Advanced Settings
4) Under Device 1 Next to Transfer Mode choose DMA (or vise versa)>Click
OK
5) Reboot your System
6) Check your burn with a CRC utility and the links for this are below
including the direct Taco Bell link. It is very classy, sophisticated, and
very Wagner Edstrom/McCann Ericson esque for MSFT to ***adopt a Taco Bell
url
for their public Beta 2 CRC checker.*** Rock on Redmond Rednecks.
Obtain CRC Utility for Vista Beta 2 Here: (The CRC utility is a way to check
the integrity of the ISO Burn which is probably where your problem
lies--it's #1 on the list):
Here's a link. I like that the direct link from the MSFT CRC link directly
linked to a
Taco Bell link. 'Cause when I see a Taco Bell, I think of course of MSFT:
anc vice-versa, Maybe they can change the Vista start button to Taco Bell.
This has to go on my list of funny things I've collected from the MSFT site.
The CRC utility for Beta 2 is contained here (Scroll down to the bottom
under "Additional Information").
Microsoft® Windows® Software Development Kit (SDK) for Beta 2 of Windows
Vista and WinFX Runtime Components
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...73-F5EA-4B7B-B022-97755838DB94&displaylang=en
Additional Information:
To verify that your download of an ISO file for the Windows SDK Beta 2 build
is not corrupt, download the CRC Utility. (Note: this is not a Microsoft
application. Use at your own risk.)
To run the CRC test, open a command prompt and run the utility. providing it
the name of the file (i.e. crc
c:\6.0.5383.1.1.WindowsSDK_Vista_idw.DVD.Rel.img) The CRC utility will run
two tests on the ISO: it will verify if the ISO is valid, and it will give
the AutoCRC signature for the file. The AutoCRC signature for the Windows
SDK Beta 2 ISO is 0x28434EEF. You should also confirm the size of the ISO is
correct: 1.14 GB (1,229,355,008 bytes).
If it fails any of these three tests, re-download the ISO.
I really like the direct link to it though if you right click CRC here>left

Does this mean MSFT will ship Taco Bell with Vista? Is there a Taco Bell
feature in Vista? How about Pizza? What about hotdogs?
Good luck,
CH
PS. Thanks MSFT for this great link--I have been looking for years with a
link that would place Taco Bell and Long Horn in the same url that came from
MSFT that wasn't some kind of demo as to how some company uses Windows or
Office.

Warrensm said:I have downloaded the Vista DVD image, in ISO format, but when i use nero to
burn this ISO it thinks it is a cd and therefor will not allow me to burn to
DVD.. If i put a DVD in the drive it spits it out and asks for cd/rw... if i
put a cd in it too spits this out which is hardly surprising as it does not
have enough space
my dvd burning is working and not faulty..
i have also tried using the daemon tool and tried to create a disc-to0disc
copy and this too forces a cd copy..
Even if you selected the DVD recorder under Recorder, Select Recorder, the wrong recording mode may been selected there, especially if you usually burn CD's with it.
Also DVD burning may be impossible if you have a Nero serial number only suited for burning CD's.
