        not sure why it shouldnt work. - tRuMaN Nov 25, 14:48 8
        
        create+burn iso doesn't magically make things bootable. Sometimes you can download bootable ISOs, but *making* one is a pain in the ass -- nm - Beryllium Nov 25, 14:50 7

        (Serious answer, though, this is the sort of issue that requires a 5-page in-depth how-to) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 25, 14:52 4

        No floppy drive on the PC, 'eh? -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Nov 25, 15:10 2
        
        usb drives can be made bootable, but ... I dunno. I haven't done that, myself. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 25, 15:13 1
        
        (Making a bootable CD from scratch requires a bootfloppy disk ISO and a CD ISO to merge together) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 25, 15:14
