[Ctrl-C key in build listbox]

Paste option... not enabled... really?

 

If I right click a folder / file in explorer and select 'Copy', I can 'Paste' into that box via the paste option.

 

What functionality do you expect from the Ctrl-C option?

 

Just as in every windows program. Copy the highlighted line or lines (without using the context menu/mouse) en paste it somewhere for example in the top source box. The box just below the top source box is the only place in the program where such "standard" windows behaviour/shortcut doesn't work. (Only select all, ctrl-a is implemented, why not ctrl-c?).

 

Your right about the paste option. My mistake. Sorry.

 

I was a bit confused. The context copy menu item copies a text item. The context paste item takes file items.

BTW the paste shortcut key ctrl-v doesn't work here either.

[Ctrl-C key in build listbox]

Can you implement in Copy-shortcut (ctrl-c) in the context build list-box (the box below source)?

 

What is the function of the (disabled/grayed out) paste item in the list-box? I never saw it enabled and I can't paste a bunch of directory links or file links in it?

It would be great, but I have to do some "research" how the character set options work in Nero and other tools. I believe that choosing "ISO 9660" also work (maybe the tilde ~ is an issue). I am gone test a slipstream with "ISO 9660" and "ASCII" charset also. It takes some time. I'll post my findings in this thread.

 

Maybe I am gone make a CD with filenames like:

 

040_@

041_A

..

05A_Z

061_a

..

07A_z

 

to see how the different charset get handled/translated when you burn them with differt character sets.

burntest.zipI have found the following.

 

Creating a non-slipstream CD works fine. When performing the slipstream (update -s:<path>) some files and directories are lowercased.

 

I've created 4 cd's. 3 with Imgburn and 1 with Nero. Imgburn fails only on the un-altered slipstreamed (not uppercased) files. This can be corrected by uppercasing at least de \i386 directory. Detailed screenshots and directory listing/logs are attached to this posting. Nero does not need altering to create a working slipstream CD.

 

cd a: Plain XP burned with imgburn 2.1.0.0. works.

cd b: Slipstream XP SP2 burned with imgburn 2.1.0.0. failed. usbehci.sys not found during charbased setup.

cd c: Slipstream XP SP2 burned with imgburn 2.1.0.0 \i386 directory altered all files uppercased. works.

cd d: Slipstream XP SP2 burned with Nero 6.6.1.4 unaltered. works.

 

(works=booting and installing).

I agree that technicly speaking there is nothing nothing to fix. So this is not a bug. I know that Microsoft uses it's own "ISO standard".

 

Still I can't burn a working (working = booting and installing Windows) slipstream CD. I know at least three programs who can: Nero, nLite and Bart PE builder.

 

I think that during the character based part of the Windows setup the file system driver is more restrictive or more case sensitive. I am gone test it tomorrow (upercase usbehci.sy_ and maybe other files needed at the char based setup).

[Can't build a working windows xp sp2 slipstream cd with imgburn 2.1.0.0]

I am trying to build a bootable slipstream Windows XP sp2 CD. The CD boots perfectly in character based setup mode. There are 2 files which can't be copied.

 

(file on slipstreamdir) -> (file on build cd)

 

CYCLAD-Z.IN_ -> CYCLAD_Z.IN_

CYCLOM-Y.IN_ -> CYCLOM_Y.IN_

 

I think that the minus sign isn't ISO compliant and is replaced by the underscore.

 

When I check "Allow full ASCII Charcter set" booting works, but fails in copying usbehci.sys (lowercase). I noticed that usbehci.sy_ is in lowercase in de slipstream directory while for example USBOHCI.SY_ is in all-caps. I didn't check if I all-cap usbehci.sy_ solves the problem.

 

Burning the same slipstream directory with Nero works fine. I user ISO character set DOS with Nero.
