CDImage_Home XP doesn't work need help

[Nemisis1]

I have tried CDImage_Home XP and made a ISO image and the OEM folder looses $ in the name and all sub directories and is replaced by _

$OEM$ on the burn't CD-Rom it is _OEM_

$1 _1

$$ __

$Docs _Docs

$Progs _Progs

I burn't one CD and it would not bootup in my bios I have set it to boot from cd as the 1st option.

I extrated the ISO image with winrar and the folders were how they should be.

When I extrat the files using WinImage6 instead of the $ sign it is _

I'm using Nero Burning ROM 6603

anyone knows whats going on .

Can you post the full syntax of the switch you are using with CDIMAGE please?

EDIT: I beleive you are missing the -j1 option...

LS

@echo off

TITLE Creating ISO Image of Windows 2000

ECHO.

ECHO Removing any possible attributes set on C:\ZRMPOEM_EN and its subfolders...

attrib -R -H C:\ZRMPOEM_EN /S /D

ECHO.

ECHO Creating ISO...

CDIMAGE.EXE -lZRMPOEM_EN -t12/31/2002,12:00:00 -h -j1 -m -bxpboot.img C:\ZRMPOEM_EN C:\ZRMPOEM_EN.ISO

ECHO.

PAUSE

EXIT

I only changed the folder names to make it for win 2000.

Ideally I would like to burn a DVD is there anything different I would have to do to get it to boot

Thanks

Here is my working parameters. I am not playing with the attributes of my files before creating the ISO:

CLS
@echo off
TITLE Creation du ISO de Windows 2000 Professionel SP4
ECHO. 
ECHO En cours...
cdimage.exe -l"W2KSP4FR" -t08/23/2001,09:00:00 -h -j1 -b"Win2K SP4 FR\DOS\loader.bin" -o -w1 -m "Win2K SP4 FR" "ISO\Win2K SP4 FR.iso"
ECHO.
PAUSE
EXIT

the other option would be to test without creating an ISO first. Just go into NERO, add the files and specify the boot sector as follow:

1) select CD-ROM (BOOT) for the type of compilation

2) Specify the Boot Image File (in your case xpboot.img)

3) Select No Emulation

4) Verify hex value = 07C0

5) Change Number of read Sector to 4

would like to know

Your Nero settings in the image are the same setting valid if I choose DVD bootable

as I would like to store more settings and other programs on the DVD

thanks again

[Incroyable HULK]

I think so... never tested

Glad it solved your problem. You should still go with CDImage if you can get trough. It has many interesting features

Yes, its same for DVD as well.

I suggest you change recorder (from menu, Recorder >> Choose Recorder >> Image Recorder). That way, you can still make an ISO, even with Nero (it will ask you where to save the image).
