What program do you use to burn the ISO file to DVD?
I'm trying to install Windows 7 but I think I might have a bad burn. I burned it with Roxio at 4x speed. Every time I try to install it there's always a missing or corrupt file. So I'm trying one more time and then reburning a new DVD.
What program would you recommend I use? And what speed? I know that slower is better but the slowest my program had was 4x.
Thanks a lot! | My System Specs |

Or maybe I'm doing something wrong? First time I tried x86 without any formatting. Next I tried x64 and it seemed to get further but then it restarted and said my CPU wont work with x64. Now I'm trying to format again and then install x86 again. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom

What program would you recommend I use? And what speed? I know that slower is better but the slowest my program had was 4x.
Thanks a lot! Just to start at square one, did you "hash-check" the .isos with the source DL site?
ImgBurn, 'Auto-speed', with 'Verify'.

What program do you use to burn the ISO file to DVD? problems? All times are GMT -5. The time now is 09:31 AM. |  |
Edit, convert, author, compress, burn and finalize with one program?
