Re: Learning BDI Emc - Outputs

Paul And Bill- 

I guess I didn't make myself clear.  A friend of mine with a cable
modem and a cd burner downloaded the file and burned it on a CD for
me.  He handed the cd to me.  I assumed it was formatted just like
the BDI 2.04 cd that I started with and shoved it into my Linux
machine, hit delete on start up and switched it to boot on CD (The
Linux CD drive is just a read only drive.)  The boot failed with a
message something like non-bootable media so I then put the cd in my
windows machine and looked at the contents and see a file named
bdiemc-2.11-01.img (556,466Kb).  It was then that I went back to the
source site and saw the information that led me to believe that I was
to put the cd in the linux machine and issue the "cdrecord" command. 

Now from your responses it implies that when my friend burned the
downloaded file and burned it to the cd he should have done it via
Linux in order to get the proper format. Is this correct?

I have a cd burner myself, however it isn't in the Linux machine. 
Can I put the cd in my windows machine and burn another one to the
proper format?
