    Bootable MiniTool from ISO fails


    I have downloaded "pwfree91-x86.iso" from MiniTools.
    Also downloaded Portable ImgBurn

    My first experience with ISO files

    New DVD+R into DVD tray
    Open ImgBurn
    Write Image file to disc (incl verify)
    selected ISO file as source
    output to default DVD tray

    At the end a message that it failed

    What am I doing wrong ? Am I missing a step somewhere ? (eg, pre formatting the disc ?)
    - I am starting a coaster collection with the failures

    I have already used "FreeISOBurner" -- no alerts but when I tried to boot the DVD from BIOS; Windows continued to boot.
    - so I assume the "FreeISOBurner" was a failure

    Would appreciate some help, thank you :)

    If you right click on the file, do you get an option to "burn disc image"?
    I usually use Windows to make discs from an ISO file.

    I didn't think to try Context menu, because my ImgBurn is portable, nor did I know that I can burn a bootable DVD with Windows Disc Image Burner.

    Do I have to format the DVD+R disc before burning?

    Looks like ImgBurn portable has mounted itself onto the Context Menu, I thought I would have to do it manually.

    What would you suggest?

    I just insert the disc, right click the ISO and choose burn disc image. Haven't run into any issues using the built in image burner.

    Using DDG search found Verify Failed! - Reason: Layouts do not match

    This laptop is a 2009 Toshiba -- in that time I would have used the drive <20 times.

    --------
    LATER:
    Problem is the laptop DVD drive, it plays discs OK but its burning days are over.

    Got a perfect result burning on one of my rigs
