What program do you use to burn a Tiny Core ISO in a CD-R?

(1/24) > >>

Mauricio:
Hello  :)

I'm trying to install Tiny Core to an old Pentium II 450MHZ with 128mb of RAM.

I noticed it is not possible to boot from a pendrive (the option didn't appear in the boot order options), so i'm forced to burn CDs.

I tried to burn the CorePlus ISO in different CDs but none of them is read by the PC, the drive makes some noises like it is trying to read them but it can't.

I assume it may be because of some special configuration at the burning process that might be needed for this very old hardware to boot from a CD?

Thank you, I just joined the community!  ;D

Hi Mauricio,

I would suggest   brasero
which has editions for Windows, Linux and Mac. Be sure to write it as a "bootable" image and not only a "copy"

Welcome to the forum.

Using  cdr-tools.tcz , first identify your CD burner:

Find the entry that contains  CD RW  or  DVD RW.
In my case that is:

--- Code: ---4,1,0   401) 'Optiarc ' 'DVD+-RW ND-3570A' '104B' Removable CD-ROM
--- End code ---

The command to burn a CD is then:

--- Code: ---cdrecord dev=4,1,0 speed=10 padsize=63s -pad -dao -v -eject Path/To/Filename.iso
--- End code ---

Thank you chattrhand, I will try that one.

I tried Xfburn and wodim but neither worked. Maybe it's a hardware problem? That computer has at least 26 years old... but I don't want to dump it yet  :-\

Thank you Rich.

This machine does't have a CD burner, so I will have to wait like a week or so to get access to one with it.

It is possible to burn that CD with Tiny Core in live mode?
