    Hi All,
    A neighbour was given an old laptop by his brother, who doesn't know any of the passwords.
    I know, I know. But honestly it is legit.
    Anyway, I just wanted to know if there are any problems with puttting a CD image on a DVD.
    For the first tool I downloaded, the image wouldn't boot at all, but at 3mb, I thought it might be a bit small to boot.
    Another live CD (writtend to dvd)did boot though.
    I suspect the image wasn't right, but just wanted to double check that I don't need to go out and buy some blank CD-rs

    It's an old Latitude C610 by the way.

    There shouldn't be any problem writing a CD size ISO to a DVD-R

    they cost about the same these days, if it saves going to the shops, why not

    Guess they're not really that expensive anyway these days. If you're looking for a temporary fix, you can write it to a usb stick so you can reuse it later.
