Formatting DVD "calculating time remaining"
Hi all, I have a dell xps and having problems formatting DVDs... when I
insert them and choose to make a disc using explorer, I am prompted for disc title for formatting the blank disk. Click ok and the message "calculating time remaing " appears and never goes away. Any ideas as without this I dont know how to get office 2007 cd burned and installed (legit download from MSDN!). Is there another way to get VISTA to load/recognise an ISO file and install directly? Many Thanks Brian |

Formatting DVD "calculating time remaining"
Hi Brian,
You can't use the native tools to create a disk from an .iso file. A quick, simple tool from www.terabyteunlimted.com is BurnCDCC (it's in the free software section) can be used in Vista. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Brian" wrote in message ...
