I've lost the original set. But could my above mentioned idea work?

Unfortunately I don't have a dvd writer. Only CD-RW. I have to mention that it's not the original recovery set. I got a .dwg of the dvd, converted it to an iso file and burnt it with a pc. Looks like the autostart feature was lost during converting/pc burning. What about the following idea? I...

Hi, I want to reinstall my Mac G4, but I can't boot from dvd ('C' during boot). Also tried 'alt' during boot: My dvd isn't displayed. After login (on my 'old' installation) I can choose the dvd as my startvolume but with no effect. How can I boot from my dvd? Could I boot into the...
