I recently got a dvd burner so i thought one of my first projects should be to make a Windows DVD. The DVD ended up being over 10 gigs but fitted on 1 dvd.

Here's what the dvd has:

win2k:
DDK
OPK
win2k pro sp4
win2k serv sp4
win2k adv serv sp4
sp4 seperate

xp:
DDK
OPK
Plus! XP
Plus! DME (no activation needed)
XP Home RTM
XP Pro RTM
XP Home SP1
XP Pro SP1
XP Tablet PC
XP Media center
SP1 seperate
XP Pro SP1 Custom install (unattended)

server 2003:
OPK
Custom Install (unattended)
Enterprise corp
Standard corp
Web corp

Office 2003 - all 5 cd's with serial inserted

Windows PE 1.1
ERD Commander 2003

272 Megs of software

Bootdisks:
win95
win98
winme

Memory testers:
microsoft
memtest86.com

Other:
1) Acronis Proof Eraser
2) Autoclave v0.3 Secure Eraser
3) Drive Image
4) Ghost 2003
5) Ghost 2004
6) Hard drive Wiper
7) NTFS DOS Pro
8) Partition Magic 7
9) Partition Magic 8
0) Password Changer

The 2 custom installs were fully unattended, and installed software and such. The win2k installs didn't need a serial.

Here's a screen shot:


edit: I forgot to mention it took 30 mins to make the cd image lol. And that's with the hard drive fully defragmented and no other apps running.

Gosh, just curios about something I spotted - you list among the things on the DVD you have created Ghost 2003 and Ghost 2004. I didn't know that a Ghost 2004 even existed yet. Is this a Beta or is it actually Ghost 8 Corporate Edition?

Just curious because I've been keeping my eyes open to see if a Ghost 2004 was coming out soon.

[gosh]

I used the ghost in norton 2004.

[un4given1]

wow... must have cost you a fortune to purchase each of those licenses...

[Alanoll]

Plus! MCE Edition (no activation), is there such a thing? or is someone using a crack?

[gosh]

Yes it exists, it installs fine with no activation at all I don't think it needs a serial either.

[Alanoll]

It isn't any different than an XP CD really.

he said he used cdimage

it creates dynamic links on the disks to file, so if four files are the same, then it only burns it once and links it to it.

True! True! Cd Image is truly a tool needed to make these kinds of dvds.

@Gosh.

Is the DVD you created bootable, im guessing it is, if so what tool did you use to create the boot files.

[gosh]

I just used cdimage.exe like any other ISO i've made. I burned using Nero6 (record > burn image). The process was no different than bootable cd's i've made in the past.

-gosh

[jeet]

but cdimage does'nt takes a folder larger than 4.3 gb pls can u help me out how did u do it. the compression process pls.

thanks in advance
jeet

[gosh]

ya it does. The 4 gig limit is a limitation of fat32, use NTFS.

This is the command i ran in a batch file. It put any errors into status.txt.

cdimage -lAllDVD -t12/05/2003,05:00:00 -h -m -o -bE:\CD\CDSH\loader.bin -j1 E:\CD E:\CD.ISO > status.txt


-gosh

[XtremeMaC]

why are u using
ghost 2003 & 2004
Partition Magic 7 & 8


jeet - ieet (what do both mean?)

[gosh]

When i burned the dvd i still had ~100 megs of room, so why not add both?

-gosh
