Anyone know of any program (free or $$) or drivers that can mount ISO images in DOS?
Wouldn't it be cool to mount your windows installation CD in DOS and run the installation fast.
I've searched but found none so far.

i'd agree with mmx and say the drive is being picky, can you get the creator to reburn at slower speed to reduce change of "dodgy" burn
Humm, I mentioned that this particular burned DVD media is part of a series and I have been able to read the 6 DVD's of this particular brand media (Memorex) and I burned them onto a different brand successfully.
It's the 7th and 8th that's not being read by Pioneer.
I'm doubting that it's being picky about the media.
I will have to find someone else with a burner and see if they can read these two.

I still floppies for boot disks. There are no single drivers that work on all computers (especially for Intel vs AMD), therefore, I abandoned the idea of putting them on CD.
Really, there only two boot disks I really use: Norton Ghost 2003 and Partition Magic 8.0.5.
Here's what I did to make booting faster. I made a 15 mb FAT partition on my hard drive and put the Ghost.exe and partition magic files on that partition. The floppy boot disk is just the usb, firewire, cd, and mouse drivers.
my autoexec.bat points to the hard drive to call ghost or partition magic.
Granted it take a little while for floppy to boot but once it's up, it's a zip running ghost and partition magic from hard drive.
I've got other DOS utilities on my 15 mb partition.
I also made a custom menu on my floppy to load with or without USB, FW, CD drivers. So for a quickers boot, I just choose option 1 to bypass USB, FW, CD drivers if I know I won't need those devices.

If you have WinImage 7.0 or 8.0, the filedisk utility comes with it and it's installed as an option in the installation process.
WinImage allows you to mount/unmount iso's from within program (not by double-clicking).

why are you trying to protect a cd? just don't give it to people who you're trying to protect it from.

Not all spyware is detectable. Some programs are better than others at detecting spyware and I don't think there's any out there that will detect 100%.
Also, do you have the latest updates on the spyware definitions. If not, they it could be a new spyare.
But I agree it does seem to be a browser hijack problem.

@ puntoMX: I think the DVD is clean - I can read it with my DVD player and my second computer that has a DVD player (not a recorder). It plays well so it's a good copy.
@ oioldman: I have enough HDD space for twenty DVD images (using my second 200 gb HDD for temp files which is nearly empty. And reading the Memorex DVD with explorer - there's the issue, in computer with the DVD-recorder, explorer won't even recognize that the DVD is there - no sign that the recorder is even trying to recognize it, but the second computer with the DVD-ROM drive can read it just fine!!!
I'm stumped.

Need some help folks, if anyone can take a shot.
I have a Pioneer DVR-106D DVD Recorder (4x speed). I'm trying to copy a DVD and it won't recognize it. The source DVD is not an original. It is made by Memorex and is a DVD-R. Now, this DVD is part of a series of DVD's. I have successfully copied the same Memorex type using Roxio Disc Copier 6.0
Since I only have one DVD player, Roxio copies an image to my hard drive, then I insert a blank one and it burn it on that.
Funny thing is I copied 10 Memorex DVD and got to 11 and won't even recognize it. It just does nothing at all, not even a green light saying it's trying to read it.
I put it in another computer and it reads fine and plays fine.
I tried to capture an image in the other computer but half way, it said this track or title is copyrighted.
What could be the issue?

try extra drive creator for virtual cd/dvd, hd, encrypted hd.
I myself am looking for an alternative to Extra Drive Creator because twice, my encrypted drive got corrupted and lost everything. I'm not sure why it happened.

Sometimes that happens when it's trying to read the CD-ROM drives. If you've got a bad CD in there and it can't read it, it will do that. Or if the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM is bad, it could do that.
Or it could be a scanner that XP is not able to load (scanners show up in My Computer). Or it could be anything Plug-and-play that shows up in My computer.
Maybe a hard drive is bad?

Yeah, that's a nice feature I would like too. Let everyone know if they discover it.

There are plenty of topics involving imaging an install in this forum. Lots of people use Acronis True Image.
I personally use Norton Ghost 2003. I avoid Ghost 9 and 10. 2003 will let you burn to CD/DVD.
I'm not sure of any freeones but if you search in this forum, you may find a link to one.
PowerISO, afaik, only does CD/DVD images as an ISO, not hard drives. I could be wrong.

Look at the help when in Ghost mode. I'm not sure how Ghost 9.0 is different from Ghost 2003, but in 2003, there is the -BootCD switch and -GhostonCD switch which puts the program on CD. I myself save the images on hard drive rather than CD because they are bigger than CD.

@ Thunderbolt 2864
Have you searched the forum for the answer? I think you'll find it in here somewhere.
I'll say one thing: if you let Ghost create the image directly onto CD/DVD using their "built-in" CD/DVD support, the Ghost image is bootable.
However, if you create a Ghost image onto a hard drive and then burn it onto a CD, then Ghost will not let you recover the image from CD because it was not made directly from the program. If you want to recover the image, you have to install the DOS CD-ROM drivers, then boot into Ghost and it shall work.
** Oh yeah, I use Norton Ghost 2003 for all the reasons mentioned above and the Radified guide. I don't like Ghost 9 and 10. One good feature of ghost 9 and 10 is the ability to create images from within windows, I can live without that.

It seems the problem is in your graphics card refresh rate. Play around with that.

Anyone found a way to modify the other places shortcuts in side panel in XP?
0 -
seems the default yellow one is higher resolution than the blue one.

this is pretty simple. go to control panel and click on taskbar and start menu. or you can right click on taskbar and click on properties. click on customize and then on start menu tab. you'll see an option called show in start menu. internet explorer is probably unchecked. check it and you're done.
look around in the properties, it's there somewhere.
doodr's method above will not work as this is not a link like other links.

I'm curious how UltraISO is better than PowerISO? I've tried both and can't seem to tell what feature makes one better than the other.
I don't use UltraISO anymore since PowerISO has built in mounting capability and it does pretty much everything that UltraISO does.

I agree with previous poster. Indigo Rose AutoPlay Media Studio is the best. With the release of 4.0, it introduced scripting. With 5.0, lots of new features and much easier to use. It simply rocked.
I created Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune games with this program. It's much more powerful than for just autoplay menus.
I haven't tried 6.0 extensively.

Does ISO buster let you mount ISO images?
I used to use WinImage which let you mount images. However, some ISO images did not mount correctly. I switched to PowerISO. It also lets you mount ISO images. It's much easier to use and is more versatile. It won't let you create floppy images, however, like WinImage.

I don't have a solution to your problem. But I have resized partitions plenty of times using Norton PartitionMagic 8.0.5 and I have never had a problem.
This is what I do to make sure it runs smoothly:
1) Run comprehensive Scandisk on all partitions that will be affected. This will eliminate any potential errors.
2) Resize partition from DOS, using DOS version.
3) Run comprehensive Scandisk to make sure everything occurs as it was supposed to.
4) Defrag all partitions affected.
Question: how did your drive become corrupted? Did you run scandisk and it found errors or simply chkdsk?

Yup, that why I said IF you have WinImage.
