    Disc Not Found
    « on: April 08, 2013, 04:27:32 PM »
    I have the Windows XP Professional Version and I am
    trying to copy a downloaded WinXP-Pro Service Pack 2 onto a DVD
    for another computer.
    I load the DVD in and attempt to start the burn and it says "No Disc"
    Do I need to format the DVD someway first?
    Am I doing this correctly ?
    Appreciate any and all advice & assistance ~

    Does the Service Pack file name end with " .iso" ? ?
    If so it needs to be burned using a different tool as a copy is just a copy...
    I use and recommend IMGBurn for this task...P. S. ...it's Free.

      File says EXE ( WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe )       
       I was told for me to put it on a DVD, I had to burn as ISO since it
      was from Microsoft.  I will try to find the one you mentioned. Thanks

      It wont run as an iso...
      Why not just clik on the file itself ? ?
      It should unpack and start installing.
      The DLoad file that is...not the .iso you burned.

        I have not burned anything yet -  I downloaded the file to my computer and
        need to put it on a DVD so that I can put it on another computer.

          What app are using to burn ? ?
          If you have a flash drive you can just copy it to that instead...
          Or try a different blank...it'll fit on a CD.
