2.2 Creating the DBAN CD-R disc on Microsoft Windows
-----------------------------------------------------------

If you do not have a floppy drive, or if you wish to use a CD drive or
DVD drive instead, then get the "CDR/CDRW version" from the DBAN home page,
which is an ISO file.

The DBAN FAQ has a tutorial for burning the DBAN ISO on Microsoft Windows.

If you already have burning software installed on your computer, then
double-click the ISO file to burn DBAN to blank CD-R or CD-RW media. Keep all
defaults for mode and emulation if you burn the ISO file with a product like
Nero Burning ROM.

If nothing happens when you double-click the DBAN ISO file, or if the "Open
With" dialog that asks you to "choose a program" starts, then you do not have
burning software installed that understands the ISO format.

Note that CD-ROM drives manufactured before 1998 often have problems reading
CD-R media, and will sometimes damage it. Try to use a DBAN floppy disk on
older computers.

Similarly, CD-RW media is often more problematic than CD-R media. Try to use
CD-R media with DBAN, especially on older computers.


You can also put it on a thumb drive. The instructions should be in the readme file in this download.
Note: not all computers can boot from thumb drives. Check your bios.
