Re: Windows 7 DVD is UDF not ISO?

Do some BIOS' and/or DVD drives have a problem booting from an

Windows 7 DVD is in UDF.

When I boot my computer with the Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade DVD
in the drive the boot gets to "CD ROM Boot Priority....Boot Ready_"
but does not proceed to "Press any key to boot from CD". I can hear
the drive spinning. The boot order is correct: CD/DVD Drive is first.
The DVD boots on 2 other computers (you get to the "Press any key to
boot from CD" message) - the DVD is good.
The other computers have a single legacy PATA hard drive and legacy
PATA DVD writers.
The problem computer is an Asus P6T - i7-920 with 2 SATA HDDs and a
SATA DVD, all in AHCI mode.

I don't know the answer to your actual question but have you considered
using ImgBurn or some other software to copy your existing boot DVD over to
a standard ISO and burning a "backup" copy of it to boot from? Here is a
link to http://www.imgburn.com/ which is now Windows 7 compatible, even in
64 bit mode.
