#190189 — Problems making a bootable DVD

Thought you might want to know...

I recently downloaded the debian-live-9.3.0-i386-gnome.iso image hoping to create a bootable DVD for "test-driving" the new Debian OS.
I first tried to use 7Zip to burn the DVD, but the result was not bootable, which is a shame as this would have been the perfect workable solution.  So then I tried some of the links suggested at

	https://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#record-windows

Unfortunately, for the freeware programs, these links are either broken, or the attempted download caused my anti-virus software to go into high-alert mode and immediately pounce on and delete the files as I tried to download them.  (This applies to the links for 'ImgBurn', 'CDBurnerXP Pro' and 'ISO Recorder').

I am currently experimenting with another program that I remember using with some success on a previous occasion (from www.isobuster.com) and hoping I can eventually get a bootable DVD so I can finally check out the new Debian.

I thought I would let you know the above in case you wanted to take action to save other prospective new Debian users from a similar fate - wasting their time turning to the above software to try and get a bootable DVD and maybe ending up with a virus on their system for their troubles as well.

Best regards (and seasons greetings)!

7Zip burns media images to DVD ?
To my knowledge it packs up and unpacks archives or images.

These proposals are probably based on hearsay from users.
The people in charge of correcting it can be reached at
  debian-cd@lists.debian.org

It would be helpful if you could report the particular problems you see
with each list item. (I see that the URL for "ISO Recorder" should be
changed to http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com )

You need to convice it to burn the ISO flatly onto the medium. No further
filesystem must be wrapped around it and no boot equipment must be added.


Have a nice day :)

You seem to use Windows 7 and from this OS on, Micosoft includes an iso
burner:
