Hi,
I'm trying to burn an iso file to disk and I keep having the following problem:
Power ISO starts and completes (as far as I can tell based on the sound from the optical drive) the burn of the iso file BUT it gets stuck on the "synchronizing data" step. I can't get past it. I've tried it both with and without data verification. The computer still functions fine otherwise and the program shows as running in windows task manager but it isn't doing anything. Any ideas? Am I missing a step somewhere? Thanks.

first, i assume your iso is supposed to be a boot iso & was properly created w/ something like:

mkisofs -o foo.iso -R -J -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table <stuff-to-put-into-iso>

then, if making a dvd:

growisofs -Z <dvd-device-name>=<iso-you-just-made>

or if cd:

cdrecord -v -pad speed=1 dev=0,0,0 <iso-you-just-made>

what has also hung others up is when an iso is properly created on one system, and then copied over, use dd, not cp/scp. don't forget there's also a hidden dot file (.fileinfo or something), without which an iso won't be properly recognized.

of course, if you're doing this purely by gui on a windows box, this post be of no help whatsoever.
