Hello All,
I'm having dome trouble installing windows 64bit amd I thought this mught be
a good place to ask for help. I'm a bit of an amateur at this sort of thing
so apologies if I missing something blindly obvious or just being stoopid.

I downloaded the trial and burnt it onto cd (first i burnt the .iso file
alone, then i unpacked the .iso file and burnt that to a different cd in a
directory called windows 64 and then i finally unpacked the .iso file and
burnt the content alone to a third cd - told you i was an amateaur....) but
for some reason none of the cds are being recognised as boot media when i
restart with them in the drive.

i did read something about burning the .iso fle as an image (?), is this
where I'm going wrong? and what files should be on the installation cd? -
..iso or the contents of the .iso file?

Any help would be appreciated.
NB I intend to install win64 on a second hdd and keep win32 on my current hdd.

amd64 3000+
wd 250gb hdd (wind 32)
seagate 80gb hdd (win64)

The method seems to be the problem. when using a your CD Burning program to
burn .ISO files, you open them and the CD Burning program imediately
launches into burning the file. Here are some steps on how to burn an ISO
Properly.

Instructions for burning ISO using either Nero or Easy CD Creator:
