Please be aware of these facts when using the DVD burners at Seneca's computer labs:


  • Most labs at Seneca College require students externally boot their lab machines (i.e. from removable disk drive) in order to use the DVD burner...
  • On the other hand, the TEL OPEN LAB (Rm. T2113) allows students to boot Internally in order to download DVD images onto their Desktop, and then burn them.
  • A repository refers to a "storage area" that contains images and applications for various Operating Systems (including Fedora). Seneca college has a Fedora repository, which allows the student to QUICKLY download, and burn their Fedora LIVE and or Installation DVDs. Students can only access this repository from the college. In other words, they cannot connect to this repository from computer at home...
  • If you wish to download and burn from your home computer, please refer to the third download and Burning option in this page...
The TEL OPEN LAB
(Rm. T2113)
is one of the few areas at Seneca that allows the student to burn CD/DVDs without having to boot from an external (removable) hard drive.

Before Proceeding with Download and Burning:

Make certain to only download and burn the 64-bit versions of the DVD images. Although 32-bit versions will work on 64-bit computers, they can cause problems later in the OPS235 labs.

Procedure to Download and Burn a CD/DVD in TEL Open Lab:

  1. Set "Master Selector" on CPU to Internal.
  2. Power on Computer.
  3. Place DVD media into the drive.
  4. To access the boot menu quicker, press ESC at the network boot procedure
  5. Select 2. Win 7 from the boot menu

It may be preferable to boot WINDOWS as opposed to Matrix
(since you may have limited account space in your Matrix account to download a DVD image).

  1. Determine which image you want to download. Below are links to both the LIVE DVD and Installation DVD1 images:

You can only use the links above (via Seneca's Belmont server) from Seneca College.
The above links WILL NOT WORK when you are home or outside of Seneca College. Refer to the link "How to Create From Home" in the main OPS235 Wiki.

  1. Right-click on the appropriate link (displayed above), and select "Save Link As" in the context menu, and select "Desktop" as the location, then click SAVE.
  2. After the image has been downloaded to your desktop, right-click on the image file, and in the context menu, select Open With, and then select Nero Express Essentials in the sub-menu.
  3. Click Burn to start the burning process to the DVD. This process will take several minutes.
  4. When the burn is completed, exit the application, and remove your DVD from the machine.
  5. It is highly recommended to test to see if your install DVD image works by going to your OPS235 lab, and see if the DVD media correctly boots up in the computer lab...
