newbie install of 6.2nc iso

Hi, I have downloaded and burned a CD. I tried to install it on a Dell GX400
and it will not boot from the CD. I changed the boot sequence to start at
the CD first. I have QNX4 already loaded on the system and when booting it
reverts to QNX4. I burned the CD on a windows system will that make a
difference.
thank you in advance,
John

Odds are you burned an ISO9660 filesystem with the qnxnc620.iso file inside
of that filesystem. When you look at the burned CD under Windows do you
see that file or do you see a bunch of files and directories?

Hi Chris,
When I look at the CD in photon on the QNX4 system I see multiple files
and folders, when I look at in windows i see just the qnx620.iso file. What
Do I need to do to get this to work?

Thank you in advance,
John

With your burning app under windows make sure you are burning a raw ISO file
and not creating a new CD filesystem. I belive that Nero has such an option.
I normally burn from FreeBSD so I don’t know all the details. I am sure
a quick search on google.com will turn up what you are looking for.

I used Nero to burn an 6.2nc CD. All the options looked a bit daunting at
first but you really have to burn a generic ISO file and it will be ok. I
didn’t change any of the options at all and it worked fine.
