Is it possible to install Freenas from CD?

Asked By alex whisler 30 points N/A Posted on - 08/27/2012

Hi,

I have Windows Vista. After downloading an ISO file I tried to put that ISO file on a flash drive for netbook of mine so that I thought I could hook up my other external drives on but my netbook has been completely crashed.

I need to know that is it possible to install Freenas from CD because I have already burned it to disc with the help of Active ISO Burner while pulling the flash drive out and hooking it up as externally on vista computer of mine ?

I think there would be no problem burning the ISO image on a blank CD or disc since it is in ISO format. This is the universal format of disc image and is highly supported by most CD burning tools available today. You just have to launch the disc after burning it to see if the installer is working.

To burn the ISO image, you can use tools like Alcohol 120 Percent, Fire Burner, Golden Hawk, WinImage, WinISO, CyberLink DVD Suite which already includes the CD burning tool Power2Go, and Nero. To avoid further errors, make sure your system doesn’t have any problems in the file system which is the usual culprit of errors.
