Thank you for that, Alex!
With a view to assisting a friend, I've downloaded the Zip file and
opened same.
I now have an ISO Disk Image file which I'm fairly sure I can burn to a CD.
If I do this, and my friend places same in his computer with a view to
booting from the disk, will it simply 'work' and give him access to the
tools?
I have a vague notion that another step is required! Advice on this
matter will be much appreciated.

Is *anyone* here able to advise?

Just tried it.
Burned the ISO to CD, booted from the CD and all tools were available
and worked as they should, no other steps needed as far as I can see.

PS: on the Hiren's page he refers to XPBurner? - a better free burning
program is ImgBurn.

I'd use the authors homepage, or at least, run a MD5 on the image
before using it.

You have to alter the bios so it will boot from the CD first.
Other than that, nothing.

I posted about HBCD a while ago, because I thought all warez were gone
and the CD contained only freeware. This is not true, the CD still
contains (illegal) payware.
You can check this on Hiren's website:
<http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd>
Mini Windows 98 and Mini Windows XP are both payware.
(Still a great CD to have though... |-)

If you extract Hiren's.BootCD.14.0.iso, then you can burn it as an
image. However, if you need to change the keyboard (because it's AZERTY
for instance), then it's best that you extract everything and run
HBCDCustomizer.exe.

Why wouldn't it? Does he have a Mac?

My thanks to 'UnsteadyKen', Dave Doe, 'sh@adow' and 'sjb' for their
helpful comments.
I'll burn that ISO image later today and give it a whirl on an XP machine.
@ 'sjb' My elderly friend has two laptops - one with XP and one with
Vista - he'd love a Mac like mine but I fear the learning curve would
be too great! ;-)
Cheers

I burnt an ISO image onto a CD using my iMac - no problem! :-)
I've subsequently tried to boot my XP test machine using the disk and
draw a blank! :-(
I get this error!
"DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER"
I wondered about BIOS settings and played for a while without any change.
I then tried booting from my retail XP Home CD - and the computer booted
up immediately, so I deduce that something must be wrong with the
procedure of trying to boot from an ISO image!
Advice still needed and welcomed! TIA

If a boot disk .iso is not 'properly' burned, you will end up with an
.iso file-containing data disk instead of a bootable CD
So, the necessary ingredients are a proper .iso, which in the case of
Hiren's would optimally be obtained from one of the reliable Hiren's
sources. There are many sources of Hiren's some of which are 'evil',
since Hiren's has a rep for containing a 'mixture' of freeware and
copyrighted ware, it has been considered 'fair game' for nefarious
sorts, just like other pirated ware.
Hiren's today is mostly freeware, much less copyright ware than earlier
versions.
I don't know which Hiren's sources are just healthy 'alternates' and
which Hiren's sources are evil -- but I do know that I consider
http://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/ a reliable way to download Hiren's
and I consider Hiren's info source a reliable source of info about
Hiren's http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd
You might compare the md5 for the files you have against thos at the
.org site
Filename: Hirens.BootCD.14.0.zip
Filesize: 495.14 MB (519189647 bytes)
ISO MD5: 69F36D88FD971CF6A7EDA9286D5E19F0
ZIP MD5: 38CF0B054E5846489D2B8AC60B6783CF
... but the .info site doesn't have any info about where to dl from. The
.info site just has other freeware tools not Hiren's.

You might diagnose a wrpmg burn condition if you look at the disk with
your Win and just see one big .iso file on it.
I don't have a Hiren's 14; but my bootable Hiren's 10.4 directory shows
an autorun.inf, BootCD.txt, Windows Menu.cmd, and a HBCD folder

I *do* see one single ISO file <shrug> <ponder!>

Ah! That might be where I went wrong. There were a number of files
contained within the .zip file downloaded. I just selected the single
'iso file and burned that. I'll try again and see if I can burn the
whole folder.
Thanks, Mike.

No, you need to burn the ISO, but not as a file to the disc. Use ImgBurn.

You didn't handle the burn method properly.

No; that isn't the problem. The .zip may contain some other files for
doing some other functions, but the .iso contained is the .iso which
needs to be burned as a boot disk, not as a data file.

No.

He's burning with a Mac. ImgBurn is a Win app.

You need to burn the ISO as an image. That should work.

You don't even need ImgBurn to burn Hiren. There's a file inside the ZIP
that will do that for you.
BurnToCD.cmd will open BurnCDCC.exe which will burn the ISO for you. (Of
course, this won't work on a Mac.)
There's also HBCDCustomizer.exe which will enable you to change keyboard
settings.

Hi Guys!
I started over using my XP desktop from scratch - including the download .
Long story short - I've now got a bootable Hirens CD - tested on Mrs
BD's laptop too!
I appreciate your help everyone. Many thanks. :-)

If that is a question...
Hiren's .zip contains the .iso, a burner and burner command tool, a
changes and list of the .iso's tools text files, and some keyboard patch
tools and instructions to use them in a .zip inside the .zip. You can
use those tools to modify the .iso's keyboard.bat file and make a new
.iso so that it will boot into some other keyboard layout.

Thank you very much :-)

asking about booting 14.0?
- the hirensbootcd site has grub4dos instructions for USB booting
- the same site's faq has alternate instructions for using syslinux to
boot the grub4dos and links to a .zip file with a RunMe.bat
- are you having a problem? What is it?
