Default Help! Can't seem to make DellMiniBoot123v8.01.iso.zip work - 02-26-2009, 05:16 PM

Hello.

I've burned the following file: DellMiniBoot123v8.01.iso.zip

It creates the following files which I burn to CD and DVD.

BOOT
boot.catalog
A Folder called: Dellmini9Utils which contains:
AboutThisMac.pkg
DellEFI

INITRD.IMG
A folder called: ISOLINUX which contains:
ISOLINUX.CFG

ISOLINUX.BIN
LDLINUX.SYS
MBOOT.C32
SYSLINUX.CFG
SYSLINUX.SYS

I've connected a LITEON DVD Model eSAU108-66 2, and it will boot a Windows Disk no problem.

But, I keep getting the message: No Operating System

This is a Mini 9 running Windows XP.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Are you burning this as files, or as an ISO CD? You'll need to burn it as an ISO for it to work. Simply burning the files from a folder will not work.

Thanks for your help!

I had to use Apple's Disk Utility and open the disk image from the file menu, and then burn it to a disk.

Burning the files from the Finder DOES NOT WORK.
