iso files to make bootable dvd image

Hey all,

I'm a newbie to iso files and I just downloaded
the 2 iso files for *cough* ms2003 R2 *cough*
trial software. After I downloaded the iso files
I just dragged them to my burn software gui
and sure enough it burned to dvd 2 iso files.

When I attempted to boot the image using VMware
Workstation. It complained that there was no bootable
image on the CD..
I'm wondering if I have to merge the iso files before
I burn them inorder to get a bootable image..???

I have already been successful building Solaris 10 x86
on the same machine using the VMware WS software.

But the DVD/CD boot image had already been created.

Any help would be greatly appreciated Smilie

Brad

NAME
burn - record from various sources to optical media (CD, DVD) SYNOPSIS
burn MAIN_MODE [OPTIONS]... [FILE/S]... burn --help DESCRIPTION
CD-writing program/script. Features Data-CD, Audio-CD, Copy on the fly, Iso-CD. CONFIGURATION
Configuration files for burn are: ~/.burnrc or /etc/burn.conf. You can edit them to change values. If you don't have these files you can: 1. use burn-configure utility 2. take the configuration template, edit and copy it as ~/.burnrc or /etc/burn.conf MAIN MODES
-D, --data-cd To create Data-CD -I, --iso-cd To create ISO-CD -C, --copy-cd To copy CDs -A, --audio-cd To create an audio CD from WAV, MP3 and ogg files EXAMPLES
# burn -D -p /etc/ Creates a CD with /etc/ contents. (you will find files and directories contained in /etc in CD's root.) # burn -D -p /home/bigpaul/video/summer_2003/spain.tar.gz Creates a CD with spain.tar.gz in CD's root # burn -D -r /etc/ Creates a CD containing the whole /etc/ directory. (-r preserves path) # burn -D -c /mail_2003 /home/bigpaul/Mail -p /boot/vmli* Creates a CD containing the whole /home/bigpaul/Mail renamed into /mail_2003. (-c changes path name). This command also adds in CD's root every vmli* file in /boot/ directory # burn -I -n image.iso Burns image.iso # burn -C Copy CDs (disk at once). # burn -A -a *.wav Creates an Audio CD. Tracks come from wav files # burn -A -a *.mp3 Creates an Audio CD. Tracks come from mp3 files # burn -A -a *.ogg Creates an Audio CD. Tracks come from Ogg Vorbis files # burn -A -a *.mp3 file.ogg track01.wav Creates an Audio CD preserving input order. In this example the first audio tracks will come from mp3 files, than we will find the one from file.ogg and finally the one from track01.wav GENERAL OPTIONS
-s, --simulate to perform a burn simulation DATA-CD OPTIONS -p, --path add file/s or path's content to CD-ROM's root. e.g.: -p /cvs/myproj/. In this example we will find CD-ROM's root filled with /cvs/myproj/ contents, but no /cvs/myproj/ will be created -r, --preserve-path add file/s or path's content to CD-ROM preserving original path. e.g.: -r /cvs/myproj/. In this example we will find /cvs/myproj/ in CD-ROM's root -x, --exclude-path every file or directory matching this string will not be included -c, --change-path old_path will be named new_path in CD-ROM. e.g.: -c /my_home/2004_Jan/ /home/bigpaul/. Thus /home/bigpaul/ will be named /my_home/2004_Jan/ in CD-ROM. -l, --follow-symlink this option allows burn to follow symbolic link directories -m, --multisession this option allows multisession CDs ISO-CD OPTIONS -n, --name image name AUDIO-CD OPTIONS -a, --audio-file mp3, ogg or wav file/s AUTHOR
