cdimage and confusion

[Markymoo]

I have a AOI ready to burn using latest cdshell all in AIO-DVD boot folder. I run cdimage from root. It starts scanning dirs then after 10-20 secs it exits and creates a iso image which is fake of course. So after lots of trying i try to use ultraiso to make a image and select loader.bin as the boot file. It completes and tells me my iso is 3.7g big. I clicked optimize i wonder if its same as cdimage reusing the same file to save space hmmmm. Ok so i use alcohol to mount the image and load virtual pc 2004 to boot image. Oh it boots only to find its booting 2003 enterprise which is in its own seperate dir on the cd but cant work out how its loading that cos i have pointed cdshell loader.bin as the boot image. This is strange. I have plenty of drive space 20G free. Does it matter if cdshell files are in big or small letters. I'm baffled. What is going on!???

start cdimage.exe -lAIODVD -t08/23/2001,09:00:00 -b\AIO-DVD\BOOT\loader.bin -h -n -o -m \AIO-DVD C:\AIODVD.iso

Ok i've added 2k,98,nt,xp and cdimage works as soon as i copy more files and use cdimage it runs and bombs out quick.

There seems to be a file amount limitation or invalid files. I think i need to add more cdimage settings. Please help.

EDIT: Ok i've found the problem cdimage dosent like creating an iso on the same drive as the files so i created to another partition and also using cdimage gui 3 which solves the solution.

I stopped using ultraiso as it corrupts the image too much, looking back to old messages alot think the same, so cdimage is king and the best compression.
