Hey guys I've downloaded Fedora-9-x86_64-Live-KDE.ISO and was trying to write it to NERO but it ASKS for a CD-R/RW, I have a blank DVD-R in the drive so why wouldn't it burn there?

Any suggestions on how to write the ISO to DVD? :banghead:

You can get a program like MagicISO, or PowerISO, and that will burn the ISO for you.

Put in another disk... odds are the disk isn't recognized properly or it already contains data. Or perhaps you're trying to burn over 700MB to a CD.

It read the DVD-R as blank, and it returned an error stating the media was wrong for burning the iso, and put a CD-RW/R inside.. I doesn't like DVD-Rs :( it's looking for a CD sigh or maybe something is wrong then?

uuvbbz is a spammer.
and why get back to windows to download Nvidia Drivers? Isn't the net connection working in linux?

I prefer on windows because I was only testing via Live CD not yet installed, sooooooooo gonna get stuff 1st and transfer on usb then set partitions on Os HDD gonna make dual boot with xp and fedora but gonna get some softwares for the job 1st.. Heh the interface of linux isn't hard to navigate but getting along with the configuration for system devices takes a while for me coz it's my 2nd time around linux :D

Nero will burn it to DVD, you just have to select a new "DVD" session at the beginning of nero. I use nero 7 and its at the top of the smartstart screen. There is a drop down menu selecting what type of medium your using. You probably jsut starting a CD session and not even knowing. Then use nero to burn "an image to disc" function.

I don't use nero 7, coz I don't have it anyway it was solved with Power ISO. Ty

Yup all thanks to your suggestion :D, weird with nero, I had the DVD selected up top and told it to burn on DVD but when initiated it still looks for CD-R/RW. Lol maybe I have an older nero version so it was a bug, using nero 6 and some patches.
