errr? what a bad assumption!
I downloaded the image..and yes, have a PC to run it on, but certainly not
one that runs windows. I have used both MakeCD and CD_Roast on Linux to burn
the image. both work fine.
you've come across the stupid 'win32 doesnt know file extension and craps
out' bug before?
rename the qnx image to something that ends in either .iso or .raw -
perhaps then you may have better luck. (or rename it to whatever Nero gives
as its CD-Image extension.
