Austrumi

superdave1984 · 09-26-2006, 02:21 PM

I have downloaded Austrumi to burn as a bootable live CD. Used Roxio easy CD/DVD creator 6 to burn the downloaded ISO image. I have tried every available option and several CD's and none will boot. The BIOS is set to be able to boot from CD, but they don't work. One says "attempting to boot from CD", one says attempting to boot from Roxio... etc. One just has a blinking cursor. What did I do wrong as I am positive it was an error on my part.

When you put the CD in your CD-ROM drive in Windows, what is on the CD? If the .ISO file is on the CD, then you burned it wrong. Other then that, sounds like maybe you have a corrupt disk image, and you need to download it again.

When I open it up, it says files on CD austrumi-9.2.iso and bootcat.bin.It is the same for each one I burned no matter which way I did it. Looks like the old ID10T error huh?I used three different methods that Roxio had. I will try a different download this evening and a different burn program too. Thanks for the info.

I have always used Alcohol 120 for my iso image burning

You have to find an option to "burn an image", or something similar.

Here at work, I've got Roxio Easy CD Creator 5 (might be a little different for you with 6, but close enough). The only way I could find this option was to choose "Data CD project" from the Project Selector. Then File -> New CD Project -> Bootable CD. This pops up a new box, and there is an option to "Use Existing Image file". Choose that, find the ISO file that you downloaded, adn that should create your bootable CD for you.

That is almost exactly the same as 6. And that's what I did. Oh well. Version 6 has the option of data, music, or other. I had to select other and then bootable CD. Then a few other selections and poof a useless cd pops out. CD's are cheap. I'll keep trying at home later. I have Alcohol and Roxio and Power DVD at home to experiment with. I was just trying to use what I have available here at work. And their CD's too.

Used Alcohol 120% to burn a new image. Worked perfectly. It seems a little unstable though. Guess I need to keep experimenting.

Yeah, LiveCD's are never a good representation of stability and speed, but they are useful.

isorecorder is the easiest way i've used. no application to open, you just right click on the image and click copy to cd

OK, now that I have it working, how do I go about using it for resetting a password? Our church has a computer that has all their information on it from financial to sermons. The former pastor left under not so friendly circumstances and changed every password on the thing. Now we need to get into it and get the info back. They do not want to format, and they don't want to lose the data. I told them I would try to get in and that's why I am working on Austrumi and Knoppix. Unfortunately, I have yet to see the computer, nor do I know what OS is on it. I didn't know until a few days ago we even HAD one. I thought he used his own. I know this doesn't help much.
