Bootable WinPE 3.0 won't boot after burning with ImgBurn

[Mike_ge]

Hi,

I have been using the ImgBurn for a long time, but recently I have switched to MS WinPE ver 3.0 64bit for image deployment.

I am using it to deploy images that I create and merge it with MagicISO along with scripts.

When I burn the image with ImgBurn (latest, either x4,x6 or x8)) I cannot boot on several workstations but the same media can be booted on others.

The symptom is about 50%/50%, I tried to change devices but nothing helped, opened a case in HP Business support but eventually I tried built-in MS Windows 7 64bit Image burner and everything is fine but the fact remains that I still want to use ImgBurn!!!!!

BTW: I have installed 3 different DVD Burners, used 3 different DVD-R (DVD+R) Media's and still it happens.

Thanks, Sincerely

Burn and verify a disc, then post the log.

 

If you're just burning an ISO then ImgBurn doesn't really do anything and a good drive/firmware/media combo should have no problem producing a working disc.

Like I have mentioned in my post, I have used 3 different devices and at least three different types of DVD medias.

This Log shows a media that cannot boot almost on 50% of tested HP Z400 Workstations, when I burn the same ISO file with Microsoft Image Burner on the same devices and media's(I think it burns at maximum speed available)I can boot on every workstation available.

I would have tried more applications like Nero, but it takes a lot of time.

Thanks, Sincerely

If the drives you're trying to boot the disc in can read the disc properly, they should be able to boot from it.

 

I don't have an actual answer for you because it should just work.

 

Read a working disc back to an image file and do the same for a non working one, compare the images to see if they're the same.

Hi,

After seeking for what is really wrong with the process, I decided to install the IsoBuster to open the ISO files that I have created with MagicIso (I just sent them an email regarding their version)> I noticed that the Boot file has been renamed by MagicISO so I decided to try another program, switched the boot file and saved the iso; it works, apparently MagicISO messes up with the Boot loader files or it cannot handle.

I tried PowerIso, did several tests on several image files and indeed MagicISO messes something up with the boot file. I do work a lot with MagicIso, until recently had no problems, I guess it started when I switched to the Latest WinPE 3.0 64bit version to implement product OS Images.

Nevertheless, hope it helps.
