Windows Won't Burn Discs.
-
So if you right-click an ISO and then click on "Burn Image", what happens, exactly?
-
It puts it in "Files ready to be written to disc" And when I tell it to actually burn, it does nothing. And I mean that in the plainest sense of the word, it acts as though I never clicked the button.

That's not easy to troubleshoot.
-
No, no it isn't. Hence me being here for suggestions.
-
Can you just make a bootable USB drive instead for now?

That's not what is suppose to happen. That sounds like explorer got messed up, like when you try to run exe and they just won't.

Have you tried a piece of software like this: http://www.freeisoburner.com/ ?
-
Ah, files waiting to burn. Pop a blank disk into your drive, then click on it. Does it show files?
-
The program I'm trying to install REQUIRES a Disc. It has something in the software itself that prevents it from being booted installed Via USB.

Oh right. It does a scripted loopback mounting.
-
Greek to me, but it is doing something.

Have you tried this yet?
-
Yes. I tried to force a burn using the options on the "Files Waiting To Be Burned To Disc" page as well, and it does absolutely nothing.

The goal isn't to use that feature, but to empty it out first. Once you empty out the files waiting to be burned, you may be able to successfully burn the ISO.
-
Did that as well, as mentioned above.
-
I'm going to leave it as, "Something's fishy there."
-
TIme to use a different device for burning.
-
I did as of yesterday, and it worked.
-
Cool. So it was just a device issue.
