Evans,
True. I have a couple of ISO's that won't load ordinarily when burned to dvd or cd, (even after mounting an external drive), but the pc will boot like a charm on an original Windows or Linux CD.
An important lesson to the pirates, going genuine is an advantage (though while on Windows, expensive).

LOL! We wacha. I give it what it asks for. Maybe there is something about original CDs that ISOs dont have. I cant tell. But my most urgent need is to get it working, and now it works.
