Making .iso DVD that will *Autorun*
I should apologize in advance about whatever it is that I'm missing, but I'm about to pull my hair out. I'm not having trouble *burning* the downloaded W7 iso file from Digital River to a DVD; that works just fine. My problem is getting it to run like an actual install disc. When I put the burned DVD in my optical drive, it just opens a window, and the following is shown:
I've used both the Windows7-USB-DVD-tool.exe and ISO Burner programs, and they both end up making a disc that simply shows a data file as shown above. (same with the older Nero version that is my default burning software). I'm running XP, so I'm aware that it has to be a clean install. I changed my boot sequence to look at the optical drive first. What am I doing wrong, here? What do I have to do to make the burned DVD work like an actual install disc? I thought it was just a matter of burning the iso file onto a DVD.
Thanks in Advance
