[*]NT/2K NTLDR/SETUPLDR.BIN read iso-level 3 but has usually problems with iso-level 4

I've different experience:
NT4 SP1 boot sector and setupldr.bin does work at -iso-level 4. The installation does complete.
2000 SP1 boot sector and setupldr.bin does work at -iso-level 4. The installation does complete.

I take for good your report , maybe it's just NTLDR (and not SETUPLDR.BIN) that has problems or maybe I remembered about SP0, you know how my memory is fading away and it is a bit of time since I experimented.

It can also be that since the NT and 2K install files are "kosher" 8.3 CAPITAL LETTERS, the iso-level on a "plain" install CD does not make any difference, and the problems I seem to remember were on some more multiboot/complex thingies.

This command works nicely (i didnt tried mkisofs)

cdimage -lXP_Vista -j1 -u1 -e -m -h -bD:\vista-l\boot\etfsboot.com D:\vista-l d:\xp-vista.iso

note -j1 -u1

I know, I used that switch too. In fact, I already posted earlier in this thread that CDimage and OSCDimg can create valid UDF-bridges. I can see that you don't use any sort order, which is the most crucial thing when booting more than just a couple of operating systems. I needed to boot 6 entries for example which didn't work with CDimage's native way of sorting files (at least not all of them). Cdimage 2.54 and OSCDimg 2.55 support sort-files but seem to be buggy as building an image takes hours, so mkisofs ftw.
