Itoao Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 This is my first post. I tried a search and I am having the same problem as the guy here. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtop...p;hl=\.mds (cant seem to get the insert link thing to work. Only thing different is I used Astroburn to make the disc image and now I cannot burn them using Imgburn. Anyone have any suggestions? Is there a way to convert the .mdf to and ISO?

mmalves Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Use an hex editor to open the .mds file and look at the end of that file: there will be the name of the .mdf file it expects to find, so make sure your .mdf has that name. If there's a path before the .mdf filename, remove that path (leave only the .mdf filename) and save, then try opening again in ImgBurn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmalves Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Try WinHEX, it's pretty simple to use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itoao Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 Ok I changed the names of the .mdf and .mds files to the same names and they appear to be writing I will test it out and post the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wario Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 That's a good tip to remember for the future. I'll be sure to note is as well. You never know when you're going to run into an issue like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itoao Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 Seems like that worked out well. Both files had to be renamed. I have updated astroburn with a new version. I am going to see if this will still need to be done. Thanks for all the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 It would appear the newer version MDS files are using Unicode filenames - ImgBurn didn't support that but it does now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
