I saw another posting for a similar request so here's my $0.02...
Apparently, ImgBurn processes all the files and directories in its source list by recording files at the root of the compilation first, then all the files at the first level directories, then all the files at the second level directories, etc... Its a little odd, but thats the way it appears to record stuff. At least this is what my post failure analysis shows me (after 5 blown DVD-R DL's)...
This is causing me big headaches when trying to use a BartPE boot image to record a Dual Layer DVD to make a Ghost imaging disk. The content of this Ghost image exceeds the capacity of a regular DVD so I must use a dual layer disc (VISTA ***IS*** BloatWare). When I put my Ghost image files into the source list, it appears the only way I can make sure they get pushed to the end of the image is to artificially nest them very deep in a directory structure. As another user has also suggested, it might be nice to simply have a check box which allows us to specify that the source files and directories be recorded in the order they appear in the source list (or IBB file).
I even tried creating a directory named \ZIMAGES as I thought it was processing each folder alphabetically IN ITS ENTIRETY, but thats apparently not the way its done. Once again, ImgBurn records all the files in the root, then all the files in the first level folders, then all the files, in the second level folders, then all the files in the third level folders, etc.
The big issue, is of course, that the large Ghost images push the NTLDR and boot files out into the second layer and then the system will not boot. Making an artificially deep structure should solve this but I don't think thats a very obvious solution. (I can't test this right now as I ran out of DVD Dual Layer discs and am waiting for more). Just let the image be created based on how the directories or files appear in the list. Its that simple.
I spent many hours on this and all I have to show is several relatively expensive coasters. Is this possible? I'ld appreciate an email response from the author(s) if possible as I have to get back to more productive endeavors and may not be able to check back for a while. This is very important to us, but I'll have to check into other potential methods for immediate resolution...
Thanks!
