Fails everytime. Windows 7 boot disc burn.

[shakaz]

I have the windows 7 home premium iso, i mount it...I'm following exact directions for how to turn it into an install disc with Imgburn, but keep getting this error:

 

Failed to read from file: 'E:\boot\en-us\bootsect.exe.mui'

W 18:38:38 Reason: Incorrect function.

 

I'm using DVD-R, if that makes a difference ?

 

here's my whole log:

If you have the ISO, why aren't you just burning that in 'write' mode?

 

The issue on your system appears to be with reading from your E: drive. Which program are you using to 'mount' the image? For some reason, it's making some files unreadable.

[shakaz]

I burned in 'write files/folders to disc' mode instead of 'write image file to disc' mode, because the directions I'm using said to. I also read elsewhere that creating a bootable install disc isn't as simple as just burning an iso file to a dvd. There were many setting in the 'write files/folders to disc' that needed to be adjusted (according to the directions), that I don't see available in 'write image file to disc' mode.

 

I'm mounting with Daemon Tools (lite)...also what was used in the directions.

The ISO should already have all the necessaty settings in it and be bootable if you or someone else not messed with it. Just burn the image to disc.

 

You can see if the image is bootable by looking at File Sys: after you load the image in Write image file to disc.
