    Dear all,

    I have successfully get the hidden partition of my Aspire One.
    Then I burned it onto a DVD. Around 3.83GB. I simply copy the content of those partition onto DVD.

    I checked whether I burned it properly by insert DVD in DVD-drive then reboot it.
    I pressed F12 to boot from CDROM.

    But, no luck. It's not booting from DVD.

    Anyone knows why is this so?

    Many thanks n regards,

    Dd

    hi again...

    just curious, does the hidden partition that i extract is not meant to be bootable DVD?

    btw,
    i have found a thread here viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2445 that gives me Recovery CD.

    What exactly did you extract from the recovery partition?

    A bootable DVD requires a very specific structure. You can't just copy files to a DVD and expect it to boot.

    To make a bootable DVD (that is extracted from the recovery partition), follow the instructions in this post:
