Yes, it is based on a floppy image. Ok, so it has to be something wrong with my IMA. I just extracted the IMA from the original disk w/ ImgBurn, got a notification to auto-set the properties, slipped my IMA back into the Boot Image field and I'm still getting the same result with the burned CD. I really appreciate the guidance Lightning. Thank you. **EDIT** Incidentally: if you are creating a custom boot disk, if you are using a SATA drive the old oakcdrom.sys file won’t work (it’s only compatible with PATA drives). Instead, include the ahci.sys v1.1 or higher (you can get it from HP here) and change your config.sys file like so: Device=ahci.sys /d:cd1

Wow, you must have been replying when I made my edits with the log file (having realized that the instructions in BOLD right in front of my nose clearly stated to include the log). I truly appreciate the nearly-instant response. I did read the XP guide. Again, where I deviate is that I used WinImage to pull the BIF off the original disk and modified the autoexec, config, and a few supporting script files to change designated drives for a new motherboard configuration. I then rebuilt the IMA and used it as the boot image. Maybe I'm hoarking up the IMA build process.

Let me preface this with: This may not be an ImgBurn issue but I thought I would ask here to see if anyone can chime in with some good advice. We have a (working) WinXP boot CD that we use to that comes up with a custom XP boot disk menu to run (among other things) Ghost or PC Check or .... I am updating said disk and am having a *potential* issue with the burn phase. I followed the guide here but deviated in that I created my own IMA file from the extracted BIF (I had to modify some of the scripts). In the guide, you are to leave the File System options alone because the program changes based on whether it believes you are creating a boot disk or not but I never get the auto-correct messages. The settings I have manually tried are both ISO9660 + UDF and just UDF (since it's a WinXP boot image). When I create the boot disk the Content Type always comes up as "Data" although the the File System is displayed as xxxxx (bootable). I never receive any other messages (other than a successful burn) and my disk isn't booting up the new system. I have been mainly getting the "Remove disks or other media. Press any key to restart." message. Again, maybe I'm doing everything correct in ImgBurn and it's an IMA thing but I thought I would check. Thank you for any help. **EDIT** Oh, and I am using ImgBurn v.2.5.7.0 and below is the log (though since I get successful burns I don't know how much help it would be).
