How do I write fake usb-cd partition?

[kkw]

Hi all,

I develop a multibootDVD project (4,1 GB). I'd like to place this project onto memory stick: Corsair Flash Voyager 8 GB based probably on SMI, VID: 090c. I read about SMI Mass Production Tool (MPT) and I tried to format Corsair's stick for my purposes.

MPT parts my usb stick *almost* correctly. There are two partitions: USB-CD and USB-ZIP. USB-CD contains multibootDVD iso's image - at least all files are listed. Moreover, USB-CD is bootable as I wanted. Actually, MPT formats stick as before, writes ISO image onto memory stick for circa 12-15 seconds and only few files are placed properly. The program ends with no errors. It means that USB-CD contains ca. 200 MB of ISO image's data.

- Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

- How big iso image can I actually load onto fake usb-cd?

- Is Linux' dd can be a solution?

Thanks in advance

Does USB-CD contain 4.1 GB - 4 GB data?

Try a image below 4 GB.

No, the fake USB-CD is not writable from a OS. dd can't write to the fake USB-CD.

If I remember correctly, the SMI MPT support CD ISO below 650M only.

(Coz, it emulate CD only, but not DVD....)
