Viewing boot sector files on a cd


dimegrind

Recommended Posts

I have a ghost boot cd that someone made and I want to see the files that are on this disk. The person no longer works for my company and deleted the files after making the boot disk.

Is there anyway I can view them? I need to see these files because there was a special way that the disk was made and fies that where used to create it. I can not create another one via ghost wizard, so please do not sugguest that.

the easiest way i can think of for you to see the boot files would be the following:

install ultraiso

make an .iso image from your boot cd

open that image up in ultraiso and extract the boot file

(once you have the boot file extracted you should be able to open that image up in ultraiso to see what it contains)

boot image will typically be an image of a 1.44mb or 2.88mb floppy

spacesurfer,

It would be easier just to take the files off the disk and replace one file then having to go digging up all the dos drivers I need and recreating a new boot disk.

I am gonna see if this ultraiso thing works. I dont know if it will, because I did a smilar thing with Alcohol 120 and had no luck.

Two incredibly difficult steps:

1. Run ISOBuster.

Everything on the CD will show up. Tables...Files...Everything.

2. Extract the image in Bootable CD.

You can use this to forge a new bootable disc using CDImage, Starburn, Nero...

GG Kthnx no re. B)
