You can try Virtual Clone Drive from SlySoft for a lightweight image mount. Regarding "certain copyright schemes", you won't get it here.

On another note.. Update Vista to SP2 Move the drive to regular port or disable RAID in BIOS

Move the drive to a regular port or disable RAID in BIOS.

You did not verify the burn, in conequence there are no guarantee it is 100% accurate. You wanted 1x ? Why? You got 4x, don't know how, since only available speed is 10x I don't know, but you not should get an already Bootable ISO out of PE Builder and than burn it with ImgBurn in Write mode?

You have 3 burners, none of them works? For the first two burners try updating the firmware form here and here Also update Windows to SP3. Try again after update. You sure need more memory.

Just use this guide for a regular Audio CD that should work in car stereo.

Allways use the latest. Because you don't see the errors, it doesn't mean they are not. The older just did not show them.

You are way back in time. ImgBurn has evoluated to version 2.5.1.0. You should update it.

I think storing as ISO is convenient because it is a single (sometimes with additional descriptor file) compact file vs. a lot of files/folders that are inside.

Basicaly any program that is able to use or have acces to optical drive can interfere. SPTD is from Duplex Secure, a driver that is installed from various CD/DVD emulators like Daemon Tools Here are some info if you want to disable or remove SPTD.

I you have a legal purchased key, contact them, solve the problem. If not... learn to use Google.

I never clone the system partition. I always install from scratch deleting the partition and formatting at install. Never took me more than 3-4 hours installing OS, updating, configuring an all the programs that I use, and want. Why is taking you so long? Grab a beer or two and a cup of coffee and by time you'd drink it you are done an have a fresh OS instlled. Better than clone in my oppinion. Oh, and I allways block my homepage through registry!

No. Just the .mds, ImgBurn will take care of the rest. Use the Write mode

If it not has DL on it it is single layer also known as DVD5. It means what it says. ImgBurn is smart enough to determin what you intend to do based on what files you feed it. So if you select a correct DVD Video structure it will suggest the correct adjustment, so the result will end in a standard DVD Video disc that will play in any standalone DVD Player.

Same if you read with the other drive? Update both drives firmware to latest Reader and Writer Also update Windows to SP3

Use this Guide for Single Layer or this Guide for Double Layer DVD

Update latest drive firmware from here You are using 8x media on an old drive. Try to get 2.4x media for that drive if the firmware don't fix that.

Look here at point 4.2.11.3 Pioneer

It's not empty. It is multisession with free space left. ImgBurn can't write on that at the moment. Sometime in future. Use a blank disc.

No at the moment. It will be available in future sometime, as LUK! said, it is not a high priority on his to-do list.

You don't have a CD/DVD drive with writing capability. Or it is not detected. Post a log.

You can try to update chipset/storage drivers, see if that improove something. If the Verbatim not working most probably your drive is on the way out.

The IDE connector is controlled by the GIGABYTE SATA2 chip whatever it be in BIOS. Oh! BIOS version is it up to date (F8)? For update to work probably you have to set the drive single on cable as master and run as Admin.

Connect the drive to one of the SATA2 (I think it is the white colored in picture) connection and disable RAID in BIOS for GIGABYTE SATA2 chip. Then try the update again.

You don't have to make an ISO before burn. Just use "Build" mode and add .avi and .srt files and burn it to disc That .avi and .srt should fit in a CD, why put it on DVD? If you have to make a DVD Video that any stanalone DVD player will read, use DVDFlick or ConvertXtoDVD.
