Gewg. your thinking one of my drives is off?

I burned both copies of the ISO on the same drive. It is my RICOH CD burner drive. 
It is in my XP box I am using to access this forum and the internet.

My first burning effort I used NERO to make "bootable" CD out of the Ubuntu ISO, 
but it would not boot in my other box.

I loaded Ubuntu in the XP box, accessed it, used Brasero from within Ubuntu to burn 
the exact same ISO on the exact same burner ( my RICOH) and this time it was "bootable" 
in my other box. 

If a drive was mis-aligned I think it still wouldn't have loaded in the other ( non-XP) 
box, but it worked when I used Brasero to make the CD.

Only difference between the CD's is the program I used to burn the copies and the 
OS supporting that program. Nero & XP first = wouldn't boot, Ubuntu & Brasero = would 
boot.

Still not sure why it worked.
