southc Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 I thought I'd done everything right, reading the guides, checking the forum, buy the correct media. My first attempt was on a generic blank DVD which reported it's size as 4.4GB, which turns out to be too small. So I waited a week and went to the city and bought 10 Sony DVD-R size 4.7GB discs. OK now it should work but I still get the following error: I 09:45:27 Operation Started! I 09:45:27 Building Image Tree... I 09:45:29 Checking Directory Depth... I 09:45:29 Calculating Totals... I 09:45:29 Preparing Image... I 09:45:29 Checking Path Length... I 09:45:29 Contents: 3 Files, 1 Folder I 09:45:29 Content Type: Data I 09:45:29 Data Type: MODE1/2048 I 09:45:29 File System(s): ISO9660 (Bootable), UDF (1.02) I 09:45:29 Volume Label: Win7 I 09:45:29 Size: 2,397,969,834 bytes I 09:45:29 Sectors: 1,170,885 I 09:45:29 Image Size: 4,796,514,304 bytes I 09:45:29 Image Sectors: 2,342,048 Size Image 4.796GB So the problem is not with ImgBurn but my media size!!!! The question is a borrowed Win7 OS which was on a generic DVD was READ in ImgBurn. How come it wont fit back on a standard 4.7GB disc? Suggestions?
Cynthia Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 I 09:45:29 Image Size: 4,796,514,304 bytes Equal to 4.4671 GB I 09:45:29 Image Sectors: 2,342,048 A DVD -R holds 2 298 496 sectors. So you need a double layer disc. http://egret.net/kb__mb.htm
