Mike_ge Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 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
LIGHTNING UK! Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 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.

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
LIGHTNING UK! Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 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.
Mike_ge Posted September 13, 2010 Author Posted September 13, 2010 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.
