In Nero For windows XP (yep i got it working finally) I need to know what mode i should use to burn an ISO of Linux Mandrake 8.1, I downloaded it from tucows and i want to install it but it is just in ISO form right now. what mode or process should i use to burn the Image.
Now you will see a dialog, asking you, if you want to supply detailed image parameters. This is necessary, since Nero needs to know exactly, what format the image file has to be able to burn it correctly.
Enter the following parameters:
Mode 1 (assuming, that you created a mode 1 image)
2048 bytes per sector (corresponds to a mode 1 sector)
0 bytes header and trailer
no swapping or scrambling
Click on "Burn".

. . . This procedures relies upon the assumption, that you have a "normal" ISO mode 1 image file.
You can check this, by opening the image with a hex editor (maybe UltraEdit, because this prog doesn't try to read the entire image into memory (after setting the read-only flag) and look at offset 8000 hex (this corresponds to sector 16, where the ISO (P)rimary (V)olume (D)escriptor is stored on cd). If you see some text like "CD001" (the PVD magic), then burning with the above procedure should work fine.
