    Ok so I followed the link for the CD and DVD media download and downloaded. But when I open it, there is no ISO file. I get an IMA file:

    DBAN_1_0_7_I386.IMA

    There is no ISO file anywhere within the download and I've downloaded it ten times now and scrummaged through all the other files and folders but I lack the ISO file.

    Anyone help me out here please?

      That file you downloaded *is* the ISO.  The IMA file that you can see is inside the ISO.

      dajorn - if the IMA file is the ISO, then I believe I burned the image correctly when using NERO.  (Had NERO burn 'DBAN_1_0_7_I386.IMA'.)  Is this correct?

      If so, when booting from my Dell laptop I am getting the following:

      [DR-DOS] A:\

      I have entered 'autonuke' with no avail as "Command or filename not recognized"

      Is this correct or have I totally missed something?  Please advise and thanks in advance!

        DBAN does not contain DR-DOS.  Where did you download the ISO file?

        ...

        The right way to burn DBAN with Nero Burning ROM is by clicking:

          -> Recorder -> Burn Image -> dban.iso

        If any of the Nero burning default options have been changed, then you will get a broken DBAN CD-R or DVD-R.

        The only supported way of burning the DBAN iso file is described here:

      dajorn - thanks for the prompt reply!  When going through NERO, I select the following:

      Burn Image to Disc > NERO then prompts me to search for 'Image Files (*.nrg,*.iso,*.cue)'

      I can not see the ISO file.  I have enclosed a screenshot:
