Title: DVD Installation
Post by: jbovalley on March 09, 2008, 05:08:23 PM
 ??? Hi all, I downloaded the dvd iso files. The files carry a .iso_part1, .iso_part2 , .iso_part3, .iso_part0 extension. I was wondering howto burn these images onto a dvds so that they are bootable. I am using vista to burn the dvds and when I right click on the image files I donot get the option to burn ISo to dvd, i can burn the file to dvd but not as an image.  I even tried renaming the file extension to .iso but it still does not work. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. thanks....JB ???

Hmmm... sounds like you need some DVD burning software that will burn iso's. I guess as with XP you cant burn DVD iso's with Vista without installing something to do it.

Where and how did you download those files? As far as I now these are the only files available:

caa718e4bddcf7230f3c7f4bc31453ab  LinuxMCE-CD1-0710Beta4-amd64.iso
193b2147d52e64ae77b3385bef7da187  LinuxMCE-CD2-0710Beta4-amd64.iso

705b7543af00472cb389f255acfb525e  LinuxMCE-DVD-0710Beta4-i386.iso

To burn an ISO to DVD you need software capable of doing it, like Nero or some other burning tool. Vista like other Windows operating systems don't have built ISO burning tools.

they also probably need to be concatenated into a single file with an iso extension. then burn that iso.

where can I find those files to download ? I rather deal with a file with the extension already .iso . I already have a program that would burn the iso file.

you can download them from the official torrents, for example
