You may have "fallen" in this:

How big are the files already on DVD?

Which tool did you use to create the .iso?

Did you use the -duplicate-once (or similar setting) when building?

the iso is only 150 mb and i dl the iso so i didnt made it

it is an booteable iso

the entire dvd is about 4.2 gb

OK, the -o switch is present, but 4.2 Gb seems to me too much, as from what you list a lot of files should be "in common" unsure.gif

You may want to try -oc or -oci or -ocis:

QUOTE
-o optimize storage by encoding duplicate files only once
-oc slower duplicate file detection using binary comparisons rather
than MD5 hash values
-oi ignore diamond compression timestamps when comparing files
-os show duplicate files while creating image
(-o options can be combined like -ocis)


If you can have the image smaller than 4 Gbytes, it could eliminate part of the possible causes.

I guessed it was a bootable .iso newwink.gif, but what it should boot? I mean DOS, Linux, a PE of some kind....unsure.gif

As an example, BCDW is said to be non-compatible with XPSP2 SETUPLDR.BIN (and probably newer releases too):

Whatever the .iso is called, try changing it's name to something that goes BEFORE anything else, like AAA.ISO.

WHAT error does it give?

i forgot to tell that i have some unattended prgs like Office and others

but in any case i made it to work

Yhis is how i made it
I extracted the iso to the root of the dvd (using 7zip and amazing it extracted also the boot sector)
added the boot sector to the BCDW and it did the thig
