Ok guys I just burned 7100 and tried to boot from the disc but I got an error message saying, "Cannot boot from cd, Error Code: 5"
So I'm off to go research this now...

Why are you making so many Windows 7 threads? There is one big Windows 7 thread, use that for discussion.

Well I was creating a fresh thread to indicate a new problem- as I posted earlier in a thread already created and no one replied but I created a new thread and got 10 replies in a short amount of time ...

rofl thanks but dude have you tried googling it yourself?
please spare me your insults im not an idiot ...
a search that leads me to a bunch of other forums with no answers really only tells me one thing - I'm not the only one with this problem ...
oh and btw that lmgtfy.com is hilarious thanks for that

haha i used Nero 7 Ultra Edition
some other thoughts i have-
both cd roms are on a ide expansion card
i can boot fine from my xp sp3 "CD-R"
i can't boot either Vista or Win7 "DVD-R"
so I'm guessing my pc doesn't want to boot from a DVD period-
wouldn't this suck if I actually paid for Vista or Win7 and it turned into a coaster!

Oh haha yeah, I noticed it was removed. Well, I did live a spoiler, asking to remove it if it was a bad link. I will remember not to post it anymore.

You can't boot dvds ? Wtf !
Do a firmware update to the dvd drive and/or your BIOS.
Or try to "upgrade" your preexisting OS.

I'm using XP and you can't upgrade XP to Win7 only Vista to Win7
I guess I could give that a shot - this indeed sucks monkey balls...

A friend told me you can use MagicIso to be 100% sure if the iso you have is bootable or not.

Yeah after the Maxtor Ultra ATA 100 IDE Expansion card detects the 2 Roms i have it then says a bootable disc has been detected then after that I get a Code 5 error saying it cannot boot - and searching this error really finds absolutely nothing but more people with the same problem...
Oh and I also updated my DVD drive from 1.04 to 1.05 and it didn't help...
Also looking for BIOS update to my mobo I found I already had the latest files in my drivers folder so chances are its already updated but I can't find a floppy disk anywhere to be sure...
