Burn iso with k3b

You just downloaded the newest version of your favorite Linux distribution but you remembered the first time you did it you were in Windows where you had Nero or some similar application to help you burn the ISO image onto a CD or DVD. Now you're in Linux You turn to one of the best burning applications available - K3B.

K3B takes this one step further by being free. The first step is to start the application. When you select to burn an image a new window will appear. In this new window you have to click directory button in the Image To Burn section and locate the ISO file you want to burn. Once you have located the image K3B will run a checksum on the image to make sure it matches. When the checksum is finished, and you have inserted the proper medium in your drive, you can click the Start button to begin the burn process.

If you are unsure of your setup, or if you are low on burnable media, you can always select the Simulate button under Settings to simulate the burn process. If the process will run successfully you can then uncheck Simulate and run the process as normal. And having the built-in ability to burn ISO images helps to stand above many other more costly alternatives. I believe this what is meant by German soundness. Hopefully in de future it will be less difficult, to install.

If it's really important that the "burning" writing be done with k3b and not other software, I recommend editing your question to clarify that and also to explain more specifically what your needs are.

And even if it did, it would likely not produce bootable media from a Windows ISO image. No, there's actually no need to do it with k3b. Indeed I set my sights on Unetbootin and almost worked out If it wouldn't have been for the fact that its current version doesn't support the "show all drivers option" any more. Which was necessary for the application to see the actual USB drive since, as required for the Windows installation, I had to previously format it to ntfs using Gparted.
