I have tried three times (unsuccessfully) to create a multi-session dvd.

I burned a live iso to dvd-r, booted to desktop, made a few changes and shutdown.

At screen with options Save to File, Save to Cd or Do Not Save, I chose Save to Cd. Data was saved to DVD, However, I cannot get it to boot again.

I am using Lucid 525 iso as source.
First time I used Pburn and created a multi-session DVD. Second and third times I used burniso2cd to create the live dvd.

The initial boot works just fine. It is when I do the Save to Cd and try to reboot that problem occurs.

What am I doing wrong?

Have you read this thread? Is your computer a laptop? How old is it? Will the multisession DVD boot in another computer?

By the way, until you get this figured out, I recommend that you use a rewritable DVD if possible. That way you won't waste a lot of DVDs. Failing that, maybe a different brand of DVD-R or +R would work.

Hmm, what is that second .sfs file? I don't recall ever seeing more than one .sfs file on a multisession DVD or CD. Here's my Puppy Precise multisession DVD:
