I'm trying to burn an ISO image, but it won't boot. It only shows the data.

I'm currently using Active ISO Burner 1.1 from CNET.

I also use ISO Buster to see what files are in the image, but there aren't any boot files.

Am I missing some type of boot file?

Thanks in advance!

Never used that one, but if I remember correctly there's usually an option that says "Make CD/DVD Bootable"

Yes, your ISO doesn't have any boot information.

Is there any way I can create my own boot file? Or does it have to be part of the file already?

I think magic iso is free? It will convert a non bootable into a bootable i believe.

You need a setup.inf or some file that makes it go.

You can demo try it for free. so if you need just once, should be golden.
What are you trying to build?

Thanks all. Actually, I ended using VirtualClone and created a virtual drive. It worked great.

Thanks for all your advice!
