* You burned the iso as a file instead of as an image.
or
* Burning speed was too high, try lowest possible.

Weird ....

I remember having the same problem some time ago ... I used a CD-RW, which was using the full 700 MB. It also stated 'boot disc error insert disc etc etc", hitting 'enter' a couple of times did start it though.

Maybe try a different brand disc, a smaller iso (if possible) or a CDR instead of a CDRW (or the other way around).

Other than that I'm out if options, at least this reply gave you another bump =)

Just go into the 'recorder' menu and choose : 'burn image'

Select the iso you just made, burn it and you're done.

damn, it's 32 mb. do you think my dell will freeze lock my hd. i got it to years ago. i can't turn off auto-detection on my primary ide 0 channel, but i can turn it off on primary ide 1. could i use xboxhdm to format my hd if it was on primary ide 1? how would i hook my hd to it?

Before you start you'll need another 32MB of RAM before you do anything with xboxhdm i'm afraid

I don't think it matters what IDE you put it on by the way.. (as long as the jumper settings are right i.e master/slave)
Leave CD-ROM drive on auto-detect(IDE-0) and the HD on IDE-1.Have both HD and CD-ROM set to master since they will both be on seperate IDE cables.

Reboot with xboxhdm (with your 64MB RAM) and go from there..

Note:
When burning the ISO in Nero, make sure you "finalize the cd" This could have an impact on some drives booting from the CD..
