Message: <blockquote data-quote="MGhee" data-source="post: 558148" data-attributes="member: 96479">You likely created a data disk, a collection (on disk) of files & folders versus a bootable disk (same set of files & folders, but also contains instructions to bootup when accessed). I have no idea what's going on at your end. Today is the 3rd of June and it's finally revealed you have an M79, without Google no one would know what an M79 is - thus making it difficult to troubleshoot & solve technical problems.Strange, why you need to boot to such a dangerous utility - dangerous if you don't know what you're doing! Be Careful.I'm supposing it's not a BIOS issue, you know how to set it up to boot to CD/DVD/USB. I figure you need to use something other than what ever it is you're using to successfully create a bootable source disk... if I was doing it I would prefer USB over Optical, much faster to boot to - with DBAN it may not matter as much. The page I linked to above is a source of free portable tools that can burn and verify bootable media, ImgBurn is one, AnyBurn, InfraRecorder, cdrtfe... all should work with DBAN. The link in post #12 to ImgBurn has links to these others as well, including how to download and use as portable tools.</blockquote>
