What you've created is just a data CD with MP3's on it. If your player supports playing MP3 files from the disc, it will play them, but they will be displayed in alphabetical order because that's how they're arranged on the disc. As the other poster said, you'll want to create a CUE file. That's the only way to create a standard audio CD that will play as a music CD. And that will create the tracks on the CD in the order you place them.

I've been seriously considering using Reflect's redeploy function to restore an image of my PC after changing the BIOS setting from RST to AHCI. I've just never done anything like this before, so I'm a bit iffy on it.
-
Could it have something to do with Dell's now being configured for Rapid Storage Technology as their controller versus AHCI? At least, I think that's how they are factory shipped.

My internal optical drive is configured in RAID mode according to ImgBurn. How exactly can an optical drive be configured in RAID mode? What is it mirrored against? I admit I'm not familiar with RAID as I've never had a setup with mirrored drives before. But, I don't see what's the benefit for an optical drive? And even how can it be in RAID mode? Thanks!

Probably because the root directory contents of all 10 ISO's contain the same contents except for the actual stuff being installed. However, it's most likely in the same place, but with different contents, on each disc. The program looks for the contents in the same place on each disc but each disc has different contents. So, you probably can't just copy over the contents and expect it to work. It would be like taking 2 Windows 10 install ISO's and trying to put their contents onto one Blu-Ray disc and expect the installers to work for both versions of Windows 10. It just can't be done.
-
Yes, I now see you wanted to copy all 10 ISO contents to the root directory of one disc. The 4 folders you were getting were the same four folders found in each ISO. Because the same four folders probably exist in each ISO, copying the contents to 1 disc probably won't work. But, with that being the case, the virtual drive suggestion I added may be what you need, if that works. If it does work, you can copy all 10 ISO's as 10 separate ISO files to 1 DVD. Then, you can mount each ISO as a virtual drive as you need it from the DVD. Or, copy the ISO's from the DVD to a folder on your hard drive. That way, you'll have all 10 ISO's on 1 DVD to access whenever you need them by copying them to your HDD. The image files will mount and read faster when running from the HDD than from the DVD.

I would guess anything from LiteOn's current web site for its drives would work. I just checked, but one thing to keep in mind is LiteOn only seems to make slim model drives now. Slim model drives are generally junk, failing to burn all the time.

It looks like this Language program you are talking about is looking for specific content in the root directory of a disc in order to load its contents. Unless you can tell this Language program to load from a specific folder, you will probably need to burn 10 different discs. If this Language program only loads from discs and it's looking for what to load in the root directory, you probably can't copy the 10 ISO contents into the root directory of 1 disc unless there are different folder/file names. Some files might work by not copying over them, e.g. if the contents are contained in different named folders and the Language program uses the same root directory contents for each disc. Without having the contents to look at, without knowing what this Language program is, without knowing how it works, I can't say what will work for you. You'd just have to try different configurations and see if they work, which, if you're going to do that, use rewritable discs. However, you do know 10 separate discs should definitely work. Now, one thing you could try doing is copying all 10 ISO's to 1 disc and when you access contents from 1 ISO, you mount the ISO as a virtual drive from the disc. If this Language program is looking for specific contents in the root directory of an optical drive, this virtual drive approach might work. You'll need some virtual drive software to try this out, though. Something like Virtual CloneDrive, Alcohol, or Daemon Tools. If you're going to do this, I'd test to make sure an ISO from your hard drive for one of these discs when mounted in a virtual drive works for your Language program. Whatever this Language program is, it may only work for physical drives and not virtual ones. Although I would think you could point the Language program to a virtual drive, but without knowing how it works, it may be crippled to just physical drives.

Yeah, I'm not entirely sure what the OP originally wanted. I got the impression they wanted 10 ISO's burned to the target disc, but the disc that was burned only had 4 folders and 1 ISO file on it.
-
If they're standard ISO's, I'd just open them in Windows/File Explorer if your version of Windows supports navigating ISO's. Then, while open, you can just copy and paste the contents to 10 other folders. However, I think we need to see what the OP wants to do. Either copy all 10 ISO files to one DVD or copy the contents of all 10 ISO's to one DVD.
-
I was under the impression he's trying to add all 10 ISO image files to one disc as ISO files on the disc. Not that he was trying to put all 10 ISO contents on the disc.
-
I'm not sure what you've done. When you're in Build mode, everything you add to the Build mode and press the Build button gets added to an ISO file for burning. Even if you add ISO files to Build mode, those ISO's get added to a new ISO. Then, you go into Write mode to burn this new ISO you created in Build mode. If you never went into Write mode, how could you have made a disc in ImgBurn where the contents aren't right? Maybe if you used the Write files/folders to disc mode from the main menu.
-
Before you do anything else, restart the PC. In case something got messed up somewhere. Windows could be returning incorrect contents from the disc. Check the disc again and see if it still only has 4 folders and no ISO files. If it's still bad, recreate the ISO but make sure of certain things. Are you sure you're burning the right ISO and not an old file that didn't burn correctly before? Before you had a CD sized ISO. Then you made a 3 GB ISO. Especially if you have split image file sizes, the file names may not necessarily be the same anymore. Before you burn the ISO in ImgBurn, make sure it's 3 GB on the source disc with Windows/File Explorer. Then make sure you're burning the right ISO. Make sure the Size in Write mode when you load the ISO says it's 3 GB. If you're still getting incorrect contents on the burned disc, explore the ISO file with Windows/File Explorer. Make sure it actually has the 3 GB of ISO contents it's supposed to have. IF you have a correct ISO and are STILL getting incorrect burns, you've got more of a serious problem going on. A drive would have a really hard time writing phantom data to a disc that is actually readable and not just an unreadable mess of a disc.
-
No problem. When you create the new ISO in Build mode with all 10 ISO's on it, when you go into Write mode to burn this new ISO, check the size of the image being burnt. It should be displayed in the upper left hand corner under Size. If it says it's anything other than 3 GB, which you said should be the approximate target size, then something went wrong again. You can check this size to make sure the ISO is being built correctly.
-
Check the disc you burned in Windows/File Explorer. If all 10 ISO files are on that disc, then, ImgBurn burned the contents correctly. Whatever reason why your Language program won't find the other ISO files would be down to the Language program or Windows. Whatever you mean by Language program, though, I don't know.

Ah, I did not read the entire post, just the log. Well, you should always start failed burns with trying quality media first, and for DVD+R DL, the Verbatim MKM is the only quality media. So, if the Verbatims don't magically fix the problem, then you'll know it's the drive that is the problem, most likely. And if the Verbatims don't fix the problem, you still have some quality media to have on hand for future tests/burns with other newer drives. I've never burned any XBox games or ever owned an XBox system so I have no personal experience with doing this. If this is your first attempt to use a LiteOn to do this, I'd recommend something to go along with what LUK said. I'd try a newer LiteOn drive that doesn't require special firmware/software to do the job.
-
The Verbatim DataLife Plus series are the MKM ones, if the OP was wondering. MKM-003, I think, is the 8x speed media. LUK, will any other speeds work? Just slower? Like MKM-002?
-
The problem is probably this: 12:04:09 Destination Media Type: DVD+R DL (Disc ID: UMEDISC-DL1-64) I don't know what UMEDISC is, so it may be cheap media. Try Verbatim DataLife Plus DVD+R DL, but NOT the ones you find in brick and mortar stores. Those are Life Series and will be CMC junk. DataLife Plus is only found in stores online.

On a DVD-9, I know a VIDEO_TS can be split across Layer 0 and Layer 1, but can it be placed on Layer 1 exclusively? Meaning, if the VIDEO_TS will fit on Layer 1 and you have contents in addition to VIDEO_TS that make up a DVD-9, can VIDEO_TS be entirely placed on Layer 1? Or will it always be placed on Layer 0, since if it fits on Layer 1, it will fit on Layer 0? Thanks!

Another problem I had was defragging a drive with my Acronis backups killed them! Acronis would no longer restore or verify them if the partition was defragged. And I'd be worried more about Acronis "forgetting" USB HDD's are attached when doing a restore. I had thought they had fixed the recovery media until I tried to do a restore and it failed with detaching the USB HDD trying to read the file for input. That was when I swore off of Acronis True Image. Yeah, if it works for you, by all means, of course, continue using it. I keep using Reflect because except for one FATAL image bug they introduced earlier in the year (NTFS file systems were not properly saved in Incremental backups.) Macrium hasn't messed up the software too badly.
-
I fell out with Acronis and moved to Reflect because for like 4 straight version numbers, the bootable rescue media would not recognize many of my different external USB HDD's where I stored my Acronis backups. The worst culprit was the build that DID detect them, but when you tried to restore image files from them, Acronis would delete the partition target and then conveniently, mysteriously "forget" the USB HDD is attached ( ), rendering the restore process impossible AND your old partition deleted.
-
I also use Reflect, and their mri files are probably proprietary, too. In fact, I think you recommended it to me way back in Version 4. OT, 7.2 was released yesterday. Seems if you have the updated CBT enabled, your system shutdown and restart times are longer. I've noticed longer restarts and I do use CBT.
-
I believe the Acronis TIB file type is a proprietary one. So, you'd need Acronis installed to mount those files. Hence, I don't think they'd work as virtual machine images.
-
Ah, now that I hadn't thought of. I can see where you'd need an ISO of something that large for a case like that.
-
And what would you do with a 275 GB ISO? It would only fit on a 512 GB flash drive or stored on a HDD.
