I sincerely appreciate all the help! Burned the image and it booted. Unfortunately, when I got to "Choose option "Install to HD using FD setup" it errored out. Tried it 3 times and got the same. What a POS utility! I'd hoped to use the diagnostic to determine how to repair the Broadcom 57xx Gigabit/Ethernet Controller in my Dell laptop. I can't connect to anything. WiFi adapters and all other network-related devices work perfectly. Device manager shows it 'not connected.' Oh well, that's certainly not an issue for here so will push on elsewhere to look for a different solution. Am definitely keeping IMGBURN though. Take Care, Ken

Result is: \common was unexpected at this time

There is no makecd.bat file. Did u mean makeiso.bat in the isolinux folder? While I don't get what copying mkisofs.exe to another folder is for I did it. Then ran makeiso.bat. I saw what I think was a dos box open for about 1 second. Have no idea what it did, or if it built an I so. Tried searching for fdbootcd.iso but found nothing. What now?

Home now. Only have one cd , thought I had more so gotta make sure this is right. I built the iso as instructed. It was saved to local disk. When I open it only the 3 folders are seen, no files at all in the initial disk view. Shouldn't the boot image file be there at least?

*Sigh* Long Day... File Sys: says "ISO9660, Joliet" after loading "B57udiag-15.6.1-broadcom diag.iso" as the source.

That didn't work. Won't boot from it. Also, where is "source file info at line File Sys:?" There is nothing like that visible in IMGBURN after I load the iso file as a source file. Ken

Hi, Ever have one of those days when everything you do makes you feel stupid? Grrrr. I've wasted 3 Cds trying to make this thing bootable. I need to use a Broadcom ethernet controller diagnostics utility on a Win7 x64 Dell laptop. On the Broadcom site it says: ~~~ How to run User Diagnostic for a BCM57xx NetXtreme Device: Create a bootable CD using the b57udiag ISO file Boot to DOS using this CD Choose option one on the FreeDOS 1.0 Final Cut CD menu Choose option "Install to HD using FD setup Run FreeDOS from CD ROM (return to command prompt) cd to b57diag and run b57udiag ~~~~ I've read several guides here and elsewhere but obviously I'm missing something because when I boot the laptop to that CD I get a "file I/O error." The iso folder structure looks like this: The 'isolinux' folder has these files: Buildcd folder and, the isolinux/data folder 1. Can just the files in the ISO shown above make the CD bootable into Win7? If so, how do I burn it properly in IMGBURN? Or, 2. Do I need to add files (Win 7 boot image?) to make this bootable? If so, please tell me which files to grab off a Win 7 Cd and how to insert them properly into IMGBURN along with the above files. I'd sincerely appreciate ya'll's guidance!! Ken
