Did I get it right: it worked when you burned it at work and booted at
home, i.e., the problem at home was with burning, not booting? (Or it
still only booted at work?)

And do you have any clue what it is with your PC at home that causes
the problem?

My setup is listed earlier in this thread - perhaps there is a common
nominator with yours? The behaviour seems to be the same: md5 is ok,
the CD file structure looks OK but it is just not recognized as a
bootable CD when booting the computer. And it is only with Musix -
other Live CD's work just fine.

I am using Roxio Easy CD Creator v5.1 (old software but I have never
had any problems with it before).
