richsmif Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Hi Folks,I used XPCREATE today to make myself my latest XPCREATE.ISO. Is there a way to convert the ISO so its writes to a DVD.As the ISO is bootable, nero does'nt seem to have an option to make a DVD data disk bootable.So i wondered if there was a way of converting the ISO created to a DVD complient ISO??and leave it open session so i can dump more files on the disk, ie office 2003 install files?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benners Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 1. Open Nero and create a new DVD-ROM (Boot) project2. On the Boot tab, select Image file, and select the file i.e [cdshell]\boot\loader.bin3. Use the "No Emulation" setting, and the number of loaded sectors should be 4. (Other values should be left at the default) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenMachine Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 The ISO IS bootable. Just burn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richsmif Posted August 14, 2004 Author Share Posted August 14, 2004 Hi,I wiped out xpcreate and started again and just let it download what it wanted and seemed to work all ok, just burned it out the a CDRW and it worked fine - booted ok.I want to burn the iso to a DVD+RW, nero won't let me. As i want to add office 2003 etc etcCan u use a program like winiso or isobuster to convert the iso to a dvd complient iso? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 AFAIK, iso9660 images (what you got) are usable for both optical disk formats. So there would be no specific "dvd-compliant" ISO. Its the same ISO to burn on CD and DVD. Only, size would matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMachine Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 The ISO IS bootable. Just burn it.It really is OK as is. Try DVDBURN from Microsoft.... Only, size would matter.Good to know, arter all those years of the girls telling me otherwise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richsmif Posted August 14, 2004 Author Share Posted August 14, 2004 I downloaded the 2003 resource kit from microsoft and installed.i ran dvdburn e: xpcreate.iso /erasewhich gave me the error message erasing media...erasing a dvd+rw media is not a supported option ((not nessesary))so i thought i'd trydvdburn e: xpcreate.isoie without the /erase option and that seemed to work, and proceeded to format my dvd and then wrote the disk out!!having just tested it now, it tries to boot and i get a memory overflow error!! ideas anyone? i think this maybe a nice option to add to xpcreate in the next version maybe add an option into xpcreate.ini......maybe?? MEDIATYPE=CD OR MEDIATYPE=DVDand then use either CDBURN or DVDBURN progies to do the burn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alanoll Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 i'm going to edit my xpcreate to use dvdburn now.Big NO NO. You are under license to use XPCREATE, and even though it is a CMD file and you can open it in NOTEPAD, you are not allowed to do so. Just read the license you accepted upon installation.

richsmif Posted August 14, 2004 Author Share Posted August 14, 2004 well if xpcreate does not do what i need it to do, i will edit it to do what i want it to do.anyway no matter, i will just use the command line to burn out the iso image it creates, just makes life easier for xpcreate to do it all in 1 step thats all.i'm sure xpcreate creator will add this feature in his next version.(fingers crossed?)

You are violating the license underwhich you have agreed to use XPCREATE. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO MODIFY/VIEW THE SOURCE CODE. What don't you get? just because you can, doesn't you mean you should.
