You need the following file: damnsmall-0.6.3.iso

What program are you burning it with & have you set the options of the burner to create an iso ?
A straight forward copy of the file won't boot.

using nero 6.0.0.28 dont know much about burning an ISO though.

This worked in Nero 5.5:

Choose File ---> Burn image from the menu.

Then choose the damnsmall-0.6.3.iso file and burn it.

You may also be able to do it by using the CD burning Wizard.

Choose "Data CD", "Other data formats", "burn a cd from an image file".

This menu may be slightly different in Nero 6.0, but you should get the general idea.

Good Luck.

Ok some how the file when i Dled it looked like a Zip file and i extracted it from there in another folder and therefore the .iso was not there. I hope that made sense. But i got it working TY everyone for your help im going to give it a go. Thanks Again
