[some files/sub folders missing on new build/write cd]

Use Joliet instead of UDF.

 

There was a problem with my UDF implementation on old Win9x based OS's that didn't/doesn't show up under XP etc. That has been fixed for the next version (it was fixed a couple of months ago in 'beta' versions - which of course you don't have access to, sorry!).

 

SUCCESS!!

 

File system: "ISO9660 + Joliet" as you requested.

 

I checked two sub-folders of 72 files/folders and 60 files/folders.

The CD and Hard drive numbers match. I counted folders. The numbers match.

 

 

Also, the CD had no verify errors this time.

On the previous Write, write speed was set to MAX.

I changed Write speed to 12x for this Write.

 

The CD is "12x10x32x". The Description area states

"Current Profile: Unknown (FAILED!)"

 

Do you think Write speed = 12x made any difference?

 

 

My next project is copying an audio CD. I assume Imgburn does NOT write audio CDs.

 

I own NERO 5. If I install any part of NERO will it interfere with Imgburn's operation?

 

NERO 5 is an older version. If you have other suggestions on how to

make an audio CD, I would like to know.

 

 

Thanks again.

Basic time - I presume the total Docs size was not bigger then the CD size ?

 

Well might as well eliminate the obvious first.... Can you post a copy of the ImgBurn log ?

 

Sorry for the time delay. I hope you are still paying attention.

 

I made another backup today. The same problem repeated. I found at least two sub-folders with

short lists of folders + files (about 50% complete.)

 

The files on the hard drive ISO file are complete.

Also, the file names in the ISO are limited to 8 chars. How do I fix that?

 

But files are missing from the CD.

 

 

I am attaching imgburn.log as requested.

IMGBURN.log

You could probably just go by the information panel once you've clicked 'Calculate'.

 

It shows you the number of folders / files that will be in the image.

 

You could also mount the ISO in DAEMON Tools and view it like a normal drive via Explorer.

 

I used UltraISO to look at the hard disk image.

 

All the files and folders seem to be there.

 

That means that the files and folders are missing on the cd, but not in the hard drive .ISO.

 

At least the problem area is smaller.

[some files/sub folders missing on new build/write cd]

lol! Martin_H means the hidden/system attributes in ImgBurn. Also, the recursive subdirectories in ImgBurn should be ticked.

 

I checked in Imgburn. Those are checked in Imgburn.

 

 

I should check whether the ISO is complete.

 

How do I look at the ISO I created in the BUILD step. I can check if the

files or folders are missing at this step.

 

 

Any ideas?

[some files/sub folders missing on new build/write cd]

You need to enable the options for including hidden/system files.

 

Thanks for the suggestion. But...

 

I do display hidden files. I also show the attributes column in the folder list.

 

The folder is almost all .doc files. No hidden files there.

 

Also, seven sub-folders are not hidden. They contain more .doc files.

 

What shall I try next?

[some files/sub folders missing on new build/write cd]

I copied most of My Documents to a CD

 

ON HARD DRIVE

My Documents/Sub-Folder had 7 folders and 63 files for a total 70 objects

 

ON CD

My Documents/Sub-Folder had 3 folders and 32 files for a total 35 objects

 

Any suggestions on what caused the difference?

Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot?

 

Thanks

[I can't post]

Just do the same thing in support as you did here. And you contradicted yourself saying that you can't post, but you just did post, which means you can post but can't post because you said so. So posting a post saying that you can't post means that you can post a post, but not posting a post saying you can't post means that not posting a post about not being able to post is totally pointless. Confused yet?

 

 

OK, I guess I should have written...

 

"I can't post in the Imgburn Support forum (as opposed to other forums)

 

I'll try again.

[I can't post]

I type a new message in "imgburn support" .

 

At the bottom I click "Post new topic"

 

 

The next page says:

 

Forbidden

 

You don't have permission to access /index.php on this server.

 

I have done this before. What is wrong or what have I forgotten?

 

Thanks

["problem with the El Torito configuration"]

Even I wonder why I still use Win ME.

Do you think my DELL Dimension XPST500 with 256MB can run XP?

 

 

BOOT SUCCESS.

 

I found rawread.exe and rawrite.exe on the net.

 

I used rawread.exe to create RAWBOOT.IMG from my floppy

 

I then used imgburn to create the boot image.

 

Reboot and success. I have my DOS CD and access to C:

 

You mentioned another file is needed. Can you explain in more detail. Thanks.

 

 

Also, what inspired all of this was an article by Fred Langa about booting a DOS system

on a CD.

 

He said that I could have floppy emulation as A: plus files on the CD as device D:

 

That is, write the CD with the floppy image RAWBOOT.IMG

and add another directory say TEST. Additional programs go in this directory. Such as

disktest, memory test, etc.

 

Here is the reference to the article>>>

Have you seen this done? Do you have any suggestions?

["problem with the El Torito configuration"]

Since I do not have Win NT (I have Win ME) can I make a raw image on my hard drive from

my floppy using one of the utilities I see on the internet?

 

Can I use the Raw image to create the ISO file?

["problem with the El Torito configuration"]

I am building a bootable image.

 

I create the ISO image, then tried to write it to the CD.

 

I get this error message:

 

There is a problem with the El Torito configuration.

 

Boot image: C:\bootcd.iso

size 1,228,800 bytes

Expected size: 1,474,560 bytes

 

The boot image is the wrong size for the media type.

 

I made a boot floppy for this laptop. I can boot from this floppy.

Then I copied the files into a directory on the laptop.

 

Then I used these files to build an ISO image.

 

I appreciate all your knowledge and help.

 

Thanks
