I tried to reboot eMac with the DVD in the drive but still won't boot the DVD. Any suggest?
Thanks!
Even though I'm a PS3 owner, I might be able to help here.
First - did you buy the disc, or burn it yourself? If you burned it yourself, make sure you created the disc
from the ISO - not just burned the ISO to a disc.
In other words, when you open up the DVD, you should see many files at the base of the DVD - not just one. If there's only one file, that won't work.
Also - manually opening up the ISO by mounting it on your Mac desktop, and copying the files to DVD won't work either. The ISO is not a ZIP archive - it's an image of the disc. By manually extracting the files and burning them, you lose the boot sectors contained in the ISO.
Unfortunately - I don't know what Mac program to use to burn a disc from an ISO. If you have access to a Windows machine, we on the forums have had the best luck with a program called IMGBURN. It's fast, and it's free.
You would want to pick the "write image to disc" option in that program.
