Nero and bootable cd's?

so hopefully if you can find either nero startsmart or nero express in your programs you might be able to find the option. I have my fingers crossed for you. I am afriend I have a "Demo" version which does upgrade to the latest download but doesn't have all the functionality of Premium. I bought it from what I thought was a reputable software supplier but in this case it does not do what I need. I found MagicISO on the Internet and it is free. I am trying to make a bootable cd with Ghost 2003 on it for a laptop redo. I have the ghost images to reinstall and I just had to put in a new 80G drive in the laptop. I don't think Nero in its' present state will work successfully. thanks again, charles..... Yeah, looks like you may have been ripped off. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help Charles, good luck...

Nero and bootable cd's?
"Paul Heslop" wrote in message ... ***** charles wrote: I am using an OEM version. Would this make a difference? I use the icon that was put into the quick launch bar in the lower left. Under data cd it has make data cd and copy data cd. Nothing about making boot cd's anywhere. I did download the latest upgrade 7.2.3.32b or somthing like that. Might this add the bootable capabilities or am I stuck paying money for something that should be there? thanks, charles..... I have a feeling your version is slightly less capable than mine. On mine there is an icon on the desktop which says nero startsmart. I am wondering if you look under start/programs/nero 7 if you can see anything like nero express or startsmart? If you can try clicking that and see if it gives you more options. -- Paul (Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs) Out of curiosity, I looked at my copy of Nero Express 6, and it does indeed have the option Create bootable CD. This is a version that came free with my burner. Norm Strong |

I called my software supplier and he said that I would have to either get Pro or Ultra or Premium to get the making a boot disk option. The cd I bought was $6 and the cheapest one that did what I wanted was $29. It still was oem (I am a legal dealer). He wouldn't take it back. I found one of my older 5.5 oem cd's and it had the ability to make the bootable cd that I needed. The retail prices on some of the Neros' that we talked about were up to $100 so even at $29 it would still be a bargain. The $6 one in my case wasn't worth it but it may be to someone else who doesn't need the "booter" capablility. It can still make a lot of other cd/dvd formats. later, charles....... |

I uninstalled the 7 version and reinstalled the 5.5 version that I had and it let me make the cdrom that I needed. I may reistall 7 in the future just to be able to try your suggestion but during the installation of 7, it did say "Demo" in the installation window. Now I am not "under the gun" I may play with 7 a little more in the future but I don't think that "Bootable Data Disc" shows up anywhere in the software since I remember going to where you suggest in the above. (My comments applies to Express 6. Sorry about that.) Bootable cd is listed as a feature of Express 7: http://www.nero.com/nero7/eng/Nero_E..._Features.html But I don't see it in my Express 7. And Nero Express 7 User Guide/Help does not mention bootable cd: http://ww2.nero.com/nero7/enu/User_Guide_Express_7.html .. ============================================= Mike Richter - The Slimiest Friggin SOB (UDF) ============================================= ------------------------------------------------------ UDF is a fragile format UDF is an unreliable format the format is very fragile and unreliable The format is bad - it loses data The fault is not with the software but with the format ------------------------------------------------------ But then again: ====================== From: Mike Richter (The Slimiest Friggin ****) Date: 5/4/06 Subject: UDF Has just bit me in the bum I have used UDF for many years, but yesterday I had my first corruption.

It seems Charles has been sold a dummy. -- Paul (Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs) ------------------------------------------------------ Stop and Look http://www.geocities.com/dreamst8me/ Not a dummy, but a reduced feature set for an edition designed (primarily) for inclusion with a drive. I'll bet the marketing and beancounter types at Nero decided that far too many Nero users were completely satisfied with their OEM Express and never upgraded. Solution? Remove more features to generate more $U$upgrades. |
