OK.

D**B a** question but....

when I want to make a cd of my unattended install, do I copy the ISO image which I use to test via Virtual PC or do I grab all the files from the hard disk which is used to create the ISO file , if you see what I mean?

I think I know to use nero and use the CD ISO boot option?????

thanks

Compile an Iso using nLite and burn with Alcahol120%

If your using Nero you can click on the recorder menu and choose

burn image. choose the image you used to test on VPC and Nero will

burn it to CD for you.

choose the working ISO image that to tested in virtual PC / vmware and burn it with nero

Wow!

Thanks for all the help guys.

It seems I would have trashed a couple of Disks ding it my way.

I've heard about this Alcohol program. I'm going to investigate further.

Assume I can get it from Download.com?

CDIMAGE Gui edition.

I have been using Nero for years without any problems. The answer to your question is to use the iso image as it is the cleanest sourse then use "burn image to cd" option

nero is the best program

I tend to agree with Nepali, and dirtwarrior.

Nero seems a pretty easy reliable(!) app.

and as I have it already I shall use it.

could start a little poll here.........

Nero does not optimise the iso's as far as I know, so duplicated files will take up more space, instead of taking up the sapce of a single one.

Use cdimage.

Hmmm....

See I'm gonna have to open up the old research brain cells and start digging around for best case solutions.

Anybody else have preferences to cutting CD unattended images to run?

I just want the best most easy to use option.

i hope this will be the perfect answer

to build the ISO:

for newbies CDimage will messed up a lot

so better CDIMAGE GUI version to build the ISO with optimize option

another is ultraiso which also have optimize option but the compression is not good as cdimage

For burning:

ucan use whatever u find the easiest and user friendly softwares

Nero

CDimage

ultraiso

alchole

easy cd creator

mkiso

blah blah blah

it is on u whatever u choose

OK Nepali.

Great input.

looks like I got me a little job with trying out all these options.

Me now locked in cupboard installing and playing around with all the apps to see which is best for whatever.

hmm.

I'll keep anybody remotely interested in due course.

watch this post..

Best yet, have Nero and UltraISO installed and double click the ISO to use UltraISO to burn the ISO Image.

UltraISO will use the Nero burning api but who cares.

I do this probably minimum 5 times a week with new images in my tests.
