Windows Forum / Windows XP / General Topics 1 / May 2008XP Home: Problem in writing Window Memory Diagnostic Tool to CD
Dear Sir, My OS faced some problem today, and MS has directed me to Window Memory Diagnostic Tool site for trouble shooting. I have downloaded the tool to my desktop but have difficulty in writing it to a CD ROM. The error message was "unable to open file for writing". May I know how to overcome this problem Thanks Low  SignatureA36B58K641 > Dear Sir, > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Low What are you using to write it to a CD? And why do you want to write it to a cd rom? If MS gave you a web page to go to, to get this tool, the page normally has directions on what to do. If you include the link, others could evaluate your issue better. Dear Sir, The link is http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp#top Thanks Low SignatureA36B58K641 > > Dear Sir, > > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > the page normally has directions on what to do.

See this link on how to use the Memory Diagnostic Tool http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp#top You will find that the CD file is an ISO file. You will need CD burning software such as Nero or Roxio and you will need to use the burn ISO feature. If you haven' got either of these application a good 'free' burner is Deep Burner (http://www.deepburner.com ) Signature-- John Barnett MVP Associate Expert Windows Desktop Experience Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org The information in this mail/post is supplied "as is".

Is this download same as deep burner ? Thanks Low SignatureA36B58K641 > See this link on how to use the Memory Diagnostic Tool > http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp#top [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > > > Low > Hello John, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Low The directions on that page say that the mtinst.exe should give you an option to save an ISO image for CD. Once you do that, and save the iso file it wants to create to some place on your computer, then cdburn or imgburn or deepburn can be used to burn that file to a cd. Then you reboot your PC with that CD in the drive. Your pc will have to be able to boot from a CD. That might need to be adjusted. But lets not go there. This is a bit complex but print out that web page. It seems to be pretty straight forward other then needing a burning program that works. Hello Low, The end result amounts to the same. Both will produce a bootable CD, however, Deep Burner has more features. The choice is yours as to which you use. However, I suggest you read the details on this link http://www.petri.co.il/how_to_write_iso_files_to_cd.htm (about three quarters down the page you will see instructions on how to burn the ISO using the Cdburn utility.

Personally, unless you have Nero or Roxio on your system I would use Deep Burner.
