Can't create correct boot CD\DVD

[EugeneM]

I want create boot disc for Windows XP SP2 (Russian).

What I do incorrectly?

 

Pick "Create image file from files/folders"

Add in Source dir - "I386" and files - WIN51, WIN51IP, win51ip.SP2, BOOTFONT.BIN"

File System - ISO9660 + Joliet

Mark - Recurse subdirectories, Include Hidden and System files

Volume label - WINXP

 

In Advanced/Restrictions:

ISO9660 - Level 1, Character set - Standart, mark all "Allow..." and "Don't add ';1' Version number to files"

Joliet - Level 1, mark "Allow files without extensions" and clear "Add ';1' Version number to files"

 

In Advanced/Bootable Disc:

Mark "Make image bootable"

Emulation type - None

Boot image - correct, taken from original boot disc WinXP and more than once approved

Developer ID - Microsoft Corporation

Load segment - default, 07C0

Sectors to load - 4

 

Program warning me about bootable disc and i agreed to adjust setting.

Image file successfully create, but don't bootable. More precisely, it booting, but ntdetect print out some message and rebooting the comp. Message unreadable since russian distro (and so ntdetect probably don't see bootfont.bin)

 

I'm playing with setting (clear "Allow files without extensions", don't agreed with auto adjust setting for bootable system disc - the result the same.

 

In other program - Nero, UUDS, ImgBUrn 2.3.2.0 - with the same setting all fine.

 

PS. sorry for my bad english

When are you expecting v. 2.4.1.0 to be available?

[LIGHTNING UK!]

[greyowl]

Version 2.4.1.0

If setting, as alway i do,

 

In Advanced/Restrictions:

ISO9660 - Level 1, Character set - Standart

Joliet - Level 1

 

then image right.

 

But program offer change my setting to the next:

ISO9660 - Level X, Character set - ASCII

Joliet - Level X

 

And then, setup program of Windows XP don't recognize disc as correct and ask insert "Windows XP Service Pack2 CD"

Make sure that you have "WIN51IP.SP2" file in the root of the cd.

[EugeneM]

Of course! WIN51, WIN51IP, win51ip.SP2

This is not first my boot disc...

Besides, I wrote - with Level 1 the image correct boot and run setup (test in virtual)

[LIGHTNING UK!]

AFAIK, a real windows install cd only uses ISO9660.

 

If you don't then also select Level X (or at least Level 2), you'll be cropping some of the file names.

 

Likewise, if you don't select the ASCII character set you'll be modifying the file names.

 

EDIT: I've just taken a SP1 image, mounted it, copied the files to my hdd and integrated SP3 RC2 (or whatever it is).

 

It's installed just fine in VMware.

[EugeneM]

I find out, that Level 1|X not important. In my distr some files in lower case and with ASCII charset they stay in lower in image. Setup stopping as can't find it.

But with Standart charset file names change to upper case and all ok.

So, may be, change default setting to 'Standart" charset?

I didn't think MS's stuff had ever been case sensitive, that's a Linux trait.

[Defor]

I rename file I386\usbehci.sy_ in UPPER case and all ok

[LIGHTNING UK!]

Get the latest 2.4.1.0 from the ImgBurn.com mirror, it deals with all this now. (all files are made uppercase using the 'DOS' character set)

Thanks, good job.
