if its a image or bin/cue you should just burn it as such...

Get a DVD-rw so you can keep trying, fucking up and using the same DVD.

1)Download UltraISO
2)Open UltraISO
3)In UltraISO go to TOOLS>>>MAKE CD/DVD IMAGE
4)Select the drive and make sure the output file is STANDARD ISO.
5)Download Alchole 120% and burn the image with that with DOA settings applied.

@Muchspl - DVD images cannot be Bin & Cue and most DVD Images user ISO to keep a certain file structure.

If all else files try a 1:1 copy with A120%.

right then if its a bootable dvd it should already be a image/iso

just open nero and close the wizzard and choose recorder > burn image
you may have to change it to all files in the drop down box.

I think he's saying he has the Windows All in 1 on a dvd working already but he wants to make a copy of it (for a friend or if a friends lending it to him) and because of the ISO structure needed to keep the files bootable any atempts he has done not through making it an ISO or a 1:1 copy mean the disc hasn't been bootable.

Thats what i got from his original post but to be honest it could be seen as a number of ways due to the lack of english language :D

Good advice wish the store would tell people they need programs to burn dvd's , when they buy that new dvd-r . I have a lot friends upgrading their computers
ony to find they have trouble with this issue. :frusty: I point them to afterdawn or this site.
