normally we try and get you to ask 1 question per post, and reply should
be at the bottom; (my bad for answering in line)

Thanks for the reply.
I haven't check the md5sum of the downloaded image nor the burned image. How can I check this md5sum from windows?
I am a little short of time and I hope someone else will pipe in and
give you the whole story, but basically (with out the quotes) you type
"md5sum nameoffile.iso" (changing nameoffile to whatever the ISO is
named) it should return an md5sum (a bunch of digits), and that should
be the exact same digit string as the md5sum in the folder that you
downloaded the image from. if it's not exactly the same string, then the
download was not good, and may have to be repaired or re-downloaded.
I'm using " Burn From Image " from NERO to burn this image to dvd. Am I doing the correct thing?
that was correct
thanks,
nicholas

Dear All,
I just finished download mandriva-free-2007-DVD.iso ( 4.5 Gb ) from mandriva official website. I burn it using Nero... but it seems that the dvd is not bootable. When I open the dvd, there are only 2 folders and 2 file text : i586 and x86_64, release notes.txt. How can I install Mandriva 2007 using this DVD since it's not bootable.
Could you please help me..
Thanks a lot,
nicholas
welcome Nicholas;
we could use a little more information,,,
it is most likely the 'usual culprits';
1st, how sure are you that it was a good download and good burn?
did you check md5sum of downloaded image?
did you check md5sum of burned image?
did you burn an image file to disk, or did you burn the files to disk
from an image file? (do you understand the difference?)
