Kalz Posted February 11, 2006 Share 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 ...

Kalz Posted February 12, 2006 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
win--vista Posted February 12, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalz Posted February 12, 2006 Author Share 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.

fizban2 Posted February 14, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
