You must use the `make boot CD' option. I don't have Nero installed at the moment so I can't give you explicit directions. Look through the options in the tool bar.

Oh jeez, that's a real problem. Do you have a friend that could do it for you?

1) Download memtest ISO from memtest.org

2) Burn the ISO (no additional boot options in Nero, just burn it).

3) Set CD-ROM in BIOS to first in boot order.

4) Reboot (and wait a minute).

I have followed these instructions and booted from CD-ROM using Nero 5.5.

Hi

Yeah I think what you are doing is copyiny the file as "just" a file written as data to disk.

Haven't used Nero in a bit either but this should help - a very rough guide.

Nero should prompt you in the wizard, copy cd /create cd choose create - then it should prompt you with different formats. Its not the data or music format - I think the option is "mixed" or "other" format. Then you should come to a screen where somewhere there is - burn an iso image. Select. Then you browse till an iso is located.

If you are still having difficulties, I'll do a more detailled run through. [Burnt Memtest with 5.5.9.13 Nero a while back]
