LIGHTNING UK!

This was already mentioned in your other thread. You need Build mode, then click the 'Advanced' tab, then the 'Bootable Disc' one. 'Extract Boot Image' is on that one.

You have an ISO (as an actual file) stored on a disc? You need to mount the ISO in daemon tools so the virtual drive will then show its contents. Then point imgburn at the virtual drive (E:) and extract the boot image from it.

ImgBurn extracts it from drives only. So mount the image in your DAEMON Tools virtual drive (which you might need to install of course!) and then point the 'Extract Boot Image' bit in build mode at that virtual drive and click the blue floppy disc picture. Keep an eye on what it says in the log when you extract it because you'll need to enter that info when you use it again in a new image.

Correct, if the file doesn't exist then it can't load the settings from it. The ones from the registry are then used and the ini is created on shutdown with those settings in it. The splash screen is ONLY on the screen when the forms and other stuff vital to program are being loaded. It's not there to slow down the loading by any preset annoying amount of time. Just live with it cus I'm not going to make it optional. Besides, the settings are loaded whilst it's on the screen so it really wouldn't help anyway (and no I'm not going to add yet more code to just check that one setting). The /portable one really just stops the shell extension stuff from being written to the registry whilst still allowing the settings to get saved. If you're not running it from a usb stick that you take around everywhere with you, why go to so much trouble?! On your own PC at home, just let it do it's thing.

'Files' aren't bootable. You have to do special things when you copy them to a real floppy disc to make it bootable. So without the disc / drive you're out of luck. Get yourself a usb floppy drive, you can probably pick one up for £10 or something. They're quite handy to have. Failing that, download an already bootable floppy disc image and try using WinImage or something to manipulate it and add the files that you need on there.

Before the burn... I 15:23:59 Source File Sectors: 2,752,112 (MODE1/2048) I 20:20:12 Image File Size: 5,636,325,376 bytes Size on disc after the burn... Sectors: 2,752,096 Size: 5,636,292,608 bytes So somewhere along the line it appears to have lost the last ECC block of sectors. The ??? is also worrying.

If it lists them alphabetically then that option in the settings won't do anything for you. It's to do with their physical placement on the disc. They're always put in the file system in alphabetical order, that's part of the file system specs.

You know the brand name means nothing yeah? It's the dye that the discs use that's important. In your case, it's RITEK-S04-66. We only ever recommend 1 type of DL disc on this forum as it's proven itself to work when other discs fail. That is, Verbatim DVD+R DL 2.4x (MKM-001-00). The ones made in Singapore are believed to be the best. Don't forget to check the LG site for firmware updates every now and then.

The physical order of file data shouldn't have anything to do with it. Can't you select the file you want to play on your player?

I just checked... yes it's Chaos.

What do the ImgBurn shortened names come out to? How does that compare to the Nero ones?

you could also make the E: drive! Just use 'subst' from the command prompt window. Any of these methods will work.

You could also extract the contents of the ISO and rebuild it. Mount it in DAEMON Tools, create a new temp folder on your desktop and copy the files into it using explorer. Then add your new/updates files. Then use ImgBurn to extract the bootable bit from the virtual drive. Use build mode to create a new ISO from the folder on your desktop and the bootable image it had already extracted.

In the booktype window, hit the advanced button and do what it says. ImgBurn needs to be told that your Sony drive is really a LiteOn.

DVD+RW MUST be formatted before the drive will accept any 'Write' commands. If you look in the info panel on the right you'll see a bit that says 'Formatted:'. If that doesn't read 'Yes', ImgBurn will (by default) do a full format. When it's done, it won't have to do it again so it's a one time only thing. If however another program messes up the 'Formatted' status (done by starting off a new 'format' and then terminating it early), you'll have to start all over again. ImgBurn will never do this but Nero can/does, leaving the disc's formatted status in limbo. I chose to NOT leave the formatted status in limbo so I make it run all the way though. Each to their own and all that.

You can correct the existing file if you like and email it back to me - via the address in the 'About' window. If the author is on the forum, by all means PM them.

Assuming discovery mode works fine, keep an eye on the buffer the next time you do a network burn. If you can see it dropping off slowly whilst the device buffer remains constand you'll then need to look at the network speed. Stick a trial version of DU Meter on or something and watch the pretty graph to see what speeds ImgBurn is able to read from your networked PC at. 8x *might* be pushing it on a 100mb lan, but it certainly should do more than 2x. Doing fake burns during testing, I've easily had ImgBurn hitting 35 - 40 MB/s from a network machine (connected via gigabit lan). That's basically the same speed I get doing a file copy in explorer. btw, optical drives DO NOT like being on controllers in RAID mode. ATA mode is by far the most compatible, use AHCI if you really need to RAID your HDDs and can't avoid it. Better still, buy a

Burn a disc in discovery mode and see what happens with that. This takes other drives out of the equation as everything comes from memory. What mode is your SATA controller in? ATA, RAID or AHCI? (This is a bios setting) What controller is it connected to? What's the controller called in device manager? Have you installed special drivers for it?

Consider it disabled / removed. I'm almost tempted to try and get one of those drives and have a mess around with it. I wonder if mtkflash could be used to salvage it? Anyway, if that command really did kill it, I can only apologise It's been fine on my S203B so it's not like I have / had any reason to think it could be dangerous! No hard feelings I hope.

It's not really meant for being used with a shortcut, its for people calling it inside scripts or from other programs etc. That's not to say it won't work, just that it's not designed for that.

Yes but it's not 1990 now

Nope, not really! If it happens again and again, get back to me with a screenshot of the main window so I can see exactly how much data it's thinks it's read and how much it's supposed to be reading. EDIT: Mount the MDS in DEAMON Tools and then use Verify mode to verify the virtual drive against the image. Just to see if that works! Also please copy + paste everything from the info window on the right when the 'problem' burnt DL disc is in a 'problem' drive.

Sending a command to a drive shouldn't kill it, it should just reject it if it's not supported. I'm not familiar with that particular model but I've seen a fair few other mentioned in the forums and nobody else has come forward with a problem like that.

So you select 'Enabled', click 'Change', it pops up 'Success!' and when you close that box it still says 'Current Setting: Disabled' ? If that's the case, I'll have to pass! I don't think any of my Plextor CD drives support power rec but I'll take a quick look. What happens if you change the setting in PlexTools and then view it in ImgBurn? (and vice versa) Does ImgBurn see that you've enabled / disabled it in PlexTools? Does PlexTools actually see that it's been enabled / disabled if you close down + reopen the program?

If you select 'Enabled' for the plextor one and hit 'Change', does it error out? Not all the plextor drives let you change those settings. Also, it might be different commands for CD Vs DVD drives. I've only ever test it on the DVD ones (as that's all I have).
