is gigarec=1.2 a Overburning format. If so where can i enable it in Nero(any version) or other burner applications


No, check this GOOGLE for more info about Gigarec. Overburning to the extent that you desire (800+ MB) is notoriously unreliable, specifically when moving the OB disc from PC to PC. Overburning in general isn't a recommended practice, bec depending on your drive, one can cause permanent damage to the drive. But it's like overclocking, most folks (incl myself) will push the envelope a bit since the cost of a optical drive isn't that great and the likelihood of damage is small (if you're not overambitious.) Personally, I only exceed the normal CD-R capacity by 10-30MB and have never regretted it (w/ a wrecked drive.)

IAC, if you desire > 700MB discs, you really should be thinking DVD-Rs, from a reliability and compatibility standpoint.

However, based on your questions, you should really start w/ simpler projects, that is projects that don't exceed 700MB. It seems that most newbies that find this forum have grandiose ambitions for these multi-boot discs, but very little experience. Every one that does have that experience (ie. jaclaz, cdob, kof94, and myself) has obtained that experience solely by way of hundreds of hours of experimentation and GOOGLEing. There is no short cut. The journey is worth it, though.

Good luck....Jet

I personally vote for allowing you to bold your name too.... :thumbup

Two years have just passed since this:

Why don't you try a test drive with the newish 0.4.4-pre:

Latest:

Will probably be released as "official" 0.4.4 in a few days :), but no gfx enabled images yet. :(

WHAT is the question? :unsure:

You asked about a possible way, you were given several choices, now, choose one and maybe someone can give you some related links.

@james_deepak

I hate quoting myself but I think you might have missed this one:

Trail and error is the key as well as the ability to search (Google is your friend) and ask specific questions.


If any of us feel that we can contribute to solving a specific issue for you then we will but we're not going to write a step-by-step tutorial when there is so much information here already.

I know it's frustrating but your not going to have an all-sing-all-dancing boot disc without putting in some effort.

For the last year or so I've spent a lot of my free time learning about how Linux works. I've done everything from Gentoo stages to (B)LFS and I'm still only a fraction of the way towards my goals.

Things just take time and if you keep waiting for someone else to do this for you then your not going to get anywhere.
