Vista churning out DVD coasters

[s_anuj]

okay. after years of easy DVD burning in XP i have run into a wall with Vista!

DVD writer = Samsung TS-H552B
OS = Vista x64 ultimate SP1

Background:
I am trying to burn the ISO for windows 7.

Problem:
- Vista does not have native support for ISO files
- Tried the ol' faithful Nero 6.6: It's not compatible with Vista x64... junked before burning
- next tried Nero 8 lite: installs in a jiffy. starts burning quickly and then stops at ~20% with some CRC error... 2 moser baer costers ready
- next tried imgburn. This one reads the DVD+R as a +RW and promptly sets out to 'Format' the disk. Coaster #3.

I'm almost out of empty DVD's trying to burn win 7. help.

oh ya, tried win 7 in vmware. works all fine.

try active iso burner. Check the filesize of the image, sometime it does happen that you are trying to burn a shortcut of the .iso.

Ashampoo Burning Studio 2009. If this doesn't work get your DVD drive checked. Something can always go wrong.

any chance of a corrupt ISO? but you say it worked under vmware... burning worked fine for me in Vista x64 on samsung octo-edge SH-S203D

Vista x64 user here !!! Try Ashampoo. Works fine for me with my LG H10N.

both ImgBurn and CDBurnerXP work fine for me, so something else is up...

Will Try Ashampoo.

For now managed to install win 7 from within vista using deamon tools

if I were you, i would not burn ISOs @ 4x speed, always a risk with that :|
