I am using Sonic Digital Media Plus v7, on Windows, and I'm trying to make a bootable RHEL IA 64 bit CD (mostly so I can include a kickstart file).
So what I did is I grabbed the disk one ISO file, copied the contents on my hard drive in a folder.
Then I clicked on the Data -> Data Disk. I then clicked on the "Add Data" button and when the "Select files and folders to add" box popped up, I selected all the files and folders and clicked on "Add".
The window showed all the files. I then pressed "Make bootable" and selected the file, boot.img in the Images folder.
I then burned all this onto a CD-R.
I still can't boot off of this CD. Any hints?
I've done this with CentOS, a long time ago, but maybe I'm missing something. === Al
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Remember, it is an image file so you have to burn it using special settings. You cannot just add the file in the file list and then burn it. That will just copy the .iso file on the CD. In SONIC DigitalMedia Plus v7 choose "Burn Image" under "Copy" and then browse to the downloaded .iso file and select it. Click on the big red button at the bottom right to burn the image file on the CD. Now it should have a bootable CD.
