DieMuhKuh Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Now first of all, thanks for the program . I have recently obtained my very own dvd iso of Windows 7 through the MSDN-AA and immediately failed to create a bootable dvd with Ashampoo. In another forum I got recommended ImgBurn and behold, the marvelous program seems to recognize what I'm trying to do ("File Sys: ISO9660 (Bootable); Udf 1.02"). Now when I try to burn the dvd, it gets to the point "synchronizing cache". Then, for example at 37%, it remains there (even after hours). There is no error message, though. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance, MuhKuh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieMuhKuh Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 (edited) *ouch* Sorry, I'm having difficulties obtaining a log. Since every previous attempt resulted in me forcefully shutting down the program (it didn't react), I don't have one and as I reproduced the problem just now (went to 66%), explorer crashed when I tried to save it. I'm attaching the existing log file; when I have obtained more DVD+RWs I will attempt another reproduction. I hope this is relevant in any way: Edited October 14, 2009 by DieMuhKuh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 None of those show you burning anything. Open ImgBurn and burn a disc. If/when your drive has given up, simply copy + paste all the text from the log window. btw, avoid using DVD-RW and DVD+RW media where possible. Stick to DVD-R and DVD+R.

DieMuhKuh Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 Thanks. Bought new media (Philips), they produced a Power Calibration Area Error as soon as ImgBurn started formatting. Firmware update didn't work. Bought new new media (Verbatim), ...and the problem didn't occur. Here's the log anyway: I 17:09:30 ImgBurn Version 2.5.0.0 started!

LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I 17:10:52 Destination Device: [1:0:0] _NEC DVD+RW ND-1100A 10GE (D:) (ATA) Wow that's an old drive... it's not even dual format! Ever thought about buying a new one? Btw, was this the right way to burn a bootable Windows 7 DVD? Yes that's the right way. Your tutorial started with folders rather than an image... You must have looked at the wrong guide! The 'how to burn an image file using ImgBurn' is the one you want. It was the first one I ever wrote.

DieMuhKuh Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 Ah yes, my pc is a slightly upgraded Dell Dimension 4550 and I never changed the drive^^. My current-generation pc with what is hopefully a current-generation drive is on it's way though, therefore Windows 7. The guide I was referring to is this http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=11194 , I didn't see the other one as I was looking for something Windows 7 installation disc related.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 ISO file are ISO files, it doesn't matter what's in them. You still follow the 'How to burn an image file using ImgBurn' guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
