We The People

Yeah...now see. I figured I'd have to do that. I can already do that with what I own. Again, the problem was the existing folders and my search for a program that can add more with identically named folders already in the current layout. These won't: Win-ISO Magic-ISO IMG-Burn Win-Image Ultra-ISO I will keep trying IMG-Burn and probably donate because it's awsome anyway. Might replace Nero V5.5.10.56 after all (All with grey hair knew that one). If anyone knows one that will allow folders to be dropped into an existing layout, post a name I can tinker with and report back. And while waiting I tried the export boot sector / make boot ISO and it failed. SoftThinks V5.0.42 bootable was my simple test disc (Mini-NT restore disc) 4 sectors @ 512 each. It starts to boot and hangs... Tried a few offsets...

I am trying this product due to a bad habit other ISO tools I already have are exibiting. I have CD's with identical directory structure on them that have enough files on each to fill them. The second through end disc have no identical files, only identical folder/sub-folder structures. The first disc is also bootable, but thats not the problem. In other applications if you make an ISO from the first disc, you can skip exporting the boot sectors to a file, then introducing them later because the ISO is already bootable. No big deal, I'm willing to do that part either way. The problem comes in when you try to add the additional folders from CD #2 and beyond. Most products I have say "Folder Exists, Will Be Ignored" or similar. Again, there are no identical files...only folder names. Going into each sub-folder and copying the files in them would take a few hundred forevers so thats not an option! I can make the first initial bootable ISO from the first CD with IMG-Burn, but cannot find a way to add the additional files into the existing ISO as full folder sets from the CD's root's. Notes: The file sets are already on CD's Typically five through seven a set. Only the first one is bootable, but the end DVD ISO needs to be. I have room to dump the CD's to HD if thats the only way to go... I'm sure I'm overlooking something simple as I'm new to this proggy... (I've spent the obligatory couple-o-three hours using search with a dozen or so search terms...) Any ideas guys?
