Memtest86 trouble. Need help

[MixedNuts]

Hey guys. I'm having trouble running memtest86. Maybe I'm not burning the CD correctly. This is what I'm doing. I save the zip file to my desk top, unzip it and I find ISOLINUX, SRC_V35ZIP, SRC_V35TGZ and the readme folder. I unzip the SRC_V35.ZIP and find the memtest86-3.5 folder. I use Nero to create a bootable disc and add the memtest folder. Restart the computer with the disc in the drive and it goes through a few screens and the the A drive prompt comes up. I don't have an "A" drive it's turned off in the BIOS. What am I doing wrong?
Any help is greatly appreciated

when I go here, I see the ISO image ready for burning...

Where are you getting your image from?

I tried that one too. Am I not opening the zip folder far enough?
Is NERO the wrong program to burn an Image to disc? This one's kickin' my butt

I just tried the disc in my wifes machine and I get the same A prompt.
There is a message on the screen that tells me No FAT32 files found.
Do I need to type in a different Drive letter at the "A" prompt to get the program to run?

Have you tried imgburn to burn with yet?


I just burned the image. (using win 7 built in burning)

I'll try it on another rig and see what happens

You don't need to make the disk bootable... the ISO image is bootable.

If using nero or some other burning program, you just select burn image to disk, point it at the file and burn it.

Don't open the .iso file, just burn it to disk. ( Zip expander has the unfortunate ability to open iso files.)

I'm using Nero. Do I use the bootable Data Disc option? Or just Data disc?

[MixedNuts]

I finally got it right. 9 coasters later. It was the way I was burning the discs.
I used IMG burn to make a good one.
Thanks for all the help guys.

Nero will do the same thing

Do I use the bootable CD function to burn?

Just download the iso image and burn image with nero
