Rescue CD not detected at system boot
Created the rescue media CD. Rebooted with the CD in the drive & the boot process just blows by and never detects the CD. Checked in my BIOS to verify boot sequence & that is all correct. Also,,, when I try to view the CD in Win 7 Explorer it gives me a message to put in a CD,,, Huh?? Also,,, I have attempted recreating the cd multiple times with same results(Definition of an idiot :>) It also renders my RW cd totaly useless/destroyed/trashed. Can't reformat them, Nata, nothing. This is beginning to cost me money.
I don't know what goes on under the covers in creating the rescue cd, but something is just plain not right.
If I have a hard drive failure right now I am up the creek without a paddle.
Anyone got any insight or ideas about this problem? I've got other problems with this 2012 release as I see others do. I'm beginning to wish I hadn't purchased it.
Thanks for any help or assistance.
Jim

Tried your sugestion, Pete. Not happening. Exactly the same as described in my earlier post. Thanks allot for trying though. I'm still scratching my head.

Jim,
Don't use a RW disk. Try with a CD-ROM. When Win7 asks you how you want to use that disk when you insert it, choose "to use in players" not "in computers" (ie choose the second choice, I am not sure of the wording from the top of my head). Do not format it. Then produce the bootable media wiht ATI.
If you downloaded the ISO, make sure you right click on the downloaded ISO and choose "burn the ISO image", otherwise you will copy the ISO file to the CD and that doesn't work.
In doubt, use an image burner like imgburn to burn (not copy) the ISO to your blank CD.
Alternatively, you can use the Acronis bootable media wizard to create a bootable media flash drive.
