I've read many people having issues with WinISO, so i was wondering which tool is best to create iso's. I plan on using them to test my CD in VMWare Workstation 4. So any advice would help

Thanks

I use CD Image to build ISO's very simple and effective.

Here's a link to tech-hints.com with a GUI of cdimage.exe

Gaphical User Interface

I use this with perfect results every time.

Shark007

I use mkisofs...

Love Ultraiso...has option for integrated burning with Nero.

Try this:

CDIMAGE.rar

So what is cdimage.exe?

Is it an application? or a built-in windows component?

Thanks

It is an external command line ISO builder, put out by Microsoft to it's internal people. But has since been released to the public in the OPK's renamed as OSCDIMG.exe

is that cdimage.rar what i need? or is oscdimg.exe something else?

Thanks

cdimage can be downloaded from MSFN Unattended guide here:

http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/finish.htm

And OScdimage is only available on the windows OPK cd's from ms, so just use the one above.

Whats the difference between cdimage & oscdimage?

nothing really.

Using the "Virtual Recorder" in Nero is excellent, because you can create whatever you want (bootable, hybrid, etc.) and instead of writing to disc it will prompt you where to save the image. Very useful if you're already familiar w/ Nero.

What commands are required to use the oscdimage?

OSCDIMG.exe -help

Not trying to be rude but if you have it this will tell you what all of them are. And if not just use CDImage and do the same cdimg.exe -help.
