Kalz Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 Hi (I am new to this forum and need help)I have the Windows Vista Beta 2, Build 5270 DVD and it works fine on my system. A am tring to add drivers and applications to this DVD so I have one DVD with all the files I need, but keep the DVD as bootable.I have copied the DVD to my HD and also extracted the "Microsoft Corporation.img" from the DVD. I then add a folder called Applications to the folder where Windows Vista is on my HD. When I make an ISO with CDImage and use the "Microsoft Corporation.img" as the boot file the DVD won't boot. It works fine when installing via Windows XP, but not as a bootable DVD.So, what I am asking is, has anyone managed to take the Vista DVD, add files to the DVD and then re-complied it with CDImage (so files aren't duplicated" and got it to boot and install from a "cold start"?PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN & THANKS IN ADVANCE.Kal ...
win--vista Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 um.. i always use NERO to build a bootable DVD
Kalz Posted February 12, 2006 Author Posted February 12, 2006 (edited) HiThe problem is not building the ISO, it is getting the ISO to be bootable, as the boot sector seams to be different in Vista. Edited February 12, 2006 by Kalz
win--vista Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 WELL, I think you may creat the iso image of vista 5270 from DVD DISK.. the add files into the ISO image, in this way i think it may boot well.
Kalz Posted February 12, 2006 Author Posted February 12, 2006 What software would you recommend for adding to the ISO?
Innocent Devil Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 Yes use winISO 2 get the image of the dvd in iso formatsave the ISO image 2 hddthen open the iso with winISO and add the folder u needed 2 it make sure the ISO is not Read-OnlySave the new ISO burn it. WinISO can also burn images
Kalz Posted February 12, 2006 Author Posted February 12, 2006 (edited) HiThat didn't work because the Vista DVD is in UDF format and when you add the folder it saves the new image in both ISO and UDF formats which makes the DVD not operationing in Windows. Edited February 12, 2006 by Kalz
fizban2 Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 adding folders to the image will not work, right, you best bet it to wait for ximage to be released so that you can incoporate the drivers into the vista image rather then just a folder on the DVD
Paraglider Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 ximage 5270 is available in the 5270 DDK.
fizban2 Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 become part of the beta program, will not be release to vista is out other then that@ paraglide, good to know have been looking for that for this version for a good long time
