Issues creating ISO from bootable DVD using command line

[jimmyjames]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to use imgburn to capture a bootable dvd as an ISO from a command line with no luck, I can capture the DVD in full, but the bootable part doesnt work.

 

i have used the gui to capture the boot image to a file and included that with a script

 

 

IMGBurn.exe /MODE BUILD /SRC R: /DEST C:\BuildISO\CapturedISO /VERIFY YES /FILESYSTEM "ISO9660" /VOLUMELABEL "BUILD" /PRESERVEFULLPATHNAMES YES /RECURSESUBDIRECTORIES YES /INCLUDEHIDDENFILES YES /INCLUDESYSTEMFILES YES /BOOTEMUTYPE "Custom" /BOOTIMAGE C:\Scripts\BootImage.IMA /BOOTDEVELOPERID "Microsoft Corporation" /BOOTLOADSEGMENT 07C0 /BOOTSECTORSTOLOAD 8 /START /CLOSE

 

 

can any one help?

Sorry, that's totally my fault.

 

The 'ReadMe.txt' has no useful info for what the program is expecting to be passed along with the /BOOT* switches!

 

The '/BOOTEMUTYPE' one actually wants a number.

 

0 = None (Custom)

1 = Floppy Disk (1.20 MB)

2 = Floppy Disk (1.44 MB)

3 = Floppy Disk (2.88 MB)

4 = Hard Disk

Seems like it is all working, thanks for you help.

 

 

P.S IMGBurn is amazing

[jimmyjames]

I have a small request, that might be a nice feature.

 

If you use the command line parameters, the app would display the GUI and write console output as well, that way when calling imgburn from say powershell, you can grab important information

 

 

$si=new-object diagnostics.processstartinfo

$si.filename="$env:systemdrive\program files\imgburn\imgburn.exe"

$si.RedirectStandardOutput=$true

$Si.UseShellExecute=$false

$si.Arguments = "/MODE BUILD /SRC R: /DEST ""{0}"" /VERIFY YES /FILESYSTEM {1} /VOLUMELABEL {2} /PRESERVEFULLPATHNAMES YES /RECURSESUBDIRECTORIES YES /INCLUDEHIDDENFILES YES /INCLUDESYSTEMFILES YES /BOOTEMUTYPE 0 /BOOTIMAGE C:\Scripts\BootImage.IMA /BOOTDEVELOPERID ""Microsoft Corporation"" /BOOTLOADSEGMENT 07C0 /BOOTSECTORSTOLOAD 8 /START /CLOSE" -f ($ISOPath, "ISO9660", "Disc Name")

$p=[diagnostics.process]::start($si)

 

 

just a thought.

Sorry, I'm not interested in making it into anything more of a console friendly app than it already is.

 

It's a GUI app, plain and simple.

 

The CLI options I've added to manipulate the GUI options are just there because I'm nice

[jimmyjames]

Can you tell me what exit code 255 is ??

[LIGHTNING UK!]

It's not one of mine.
