Redobackup software and ImgBurn : LiveCD does not boot - "NTLDR missing"

[radhak]

This seems to be the closest forum for this topic...

I downloaded the redobackup-livecd-1.0.2.ISO last night and burned the image to a CD using ImgBurn, but when I try to boot from the CD, the system just stops and displays error : "NTLDR missing; please press CTRL-ALT-DEL to reboot"

Isn't NTLDR needed only for windows booting, while RedoBackup is Ubuntu? What am I missing?

The CD seems to have relevant folders/files, so my burn was successful :

[casper]
[install]
[isolinux]
autorun.exe
autorun.inf
md5sum.txt
​

Should I be using the 'make disc bootable' option in ImgBurn? I thought the ISO image would have that inbuilt.

This is a Windows 7 desktop, and I have used the CD-ROM drive to boot from in the past (from other bootables).

Are you positive you're booting from the CD and not from the HD?

Yes, I checked that it is trying to read the CD and then spits out the error message. If I boot without the CD inserted, there's no error and it boots normally.

I just now checked with an old Acronis boot CD, and it booted just fine from the same CDRom drive.

Sounds like a problem with Imgburn. Try a different burning program or the one built into Windows 7.

Thanks, I think you might be right. I used Macrium Reflect to create a Rescue CD (which is burnt from within Macrium), and it booted beautifully.

Just for educative purposes I'll used another burn program and see if the Redobackup CD boots.
