As the topic says...

WinIso many say its not that good.

Nlite apparently gives problems also.

What do you suggest?

You can make a test in Virtual PC because it supports the ISO files.

[MCT]

i know it supports iso files, but i dont know how 2 do what i said.. as i said

You could try CDImageGUI, if you are unsure with using commandline usage.
A link is here for it.

[MCT]

i can use commandline usage fine.. im just not sure what 2 add in

HKCR\*\Shell\Make XP ISO\ default value

regards

[MHz]

I use these switches.

CDIMAGE -LWXPCORP_ -N -H -O -OC -M -BC:\FILES\W2K.BIN C:\XPSP2\CD_ROOT\ C:\ISOs\XPSP2.ISO

If any help

[Aaron]

MCT, I know what you mean. I'll try and find out if its possible

[MCT]

ive found what i wanted
look @ greenmachine's post here

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\MakeBootISO\command]
@="CDIMAGE.EXE -LDATACD -YD -N -H -X -BC:\\BOOT.BIN -OCI -M -D \"%1\" E:\\DATA.ISO"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\MakeDataISO\command]
@="CDIMAGE.EXE -LDATACD -YD -N -H -X -OCI -M -D \"%1\" E:\\DATA.ISO"

[MCT]

is there anyway 2 alter that command to something like

IF EXIST "E:\Data1.iso" make data2.iso? & so on?

thanks

;Right-click any folder to make ISO of/with boot-sector
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\folder\shell\make_ISO]
@="make bo&otable ISO"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\folder\shell\make_ISO\command]
@="cdimage.exe -a -b -c -your_other_switches"

Just a suggestion. you must have cdimage, and the boot-sector in that folder. Do post back, if you refine this to more sophisticated levels.

[MHz]

Just a thought.
Put CDImage and bootfile into system32 folder. Should be global then?

[Aaron]

Yep

[MHz]

I have CDImage and Boot.Bin in system32 folder.

Entered this into registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\MakeBootISO\command]
@="CDIMAGE.EXE -LDATACD -YD -N -H -X -BC:\\Windows\\System32\\Boot.Bin -OCI -M -D \"%1\" ..\\BootImage.iso"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\MakeDataISO\command]
@="CDIMAGE.EXE -LDATACD -YD -N -H -X -OCI -M -D \"%1\" ..\\DataImage.iso"

Shows as working. Creates a ISO next to the folder that you right click on.
Bootable and Data working.
Tried adding some more variables wwwithout success.
Good tweak if you make alot of ISOs.
Enjoy.

[MHz]

Just a little change of turnibg off binary campare with Data Image.
Still does duplicate only once, but a little faster.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\MakeBootISO\command]
@="CDIMAGE.EXE -LWINDOWS -YD -N -H -X -Bc:\\WIndows\\System32\\Boot.Bin -OCI -M -D \"%1\" ..\\BootImage.iso"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\MakeDataISO\command]
@="CDIMAGE.EXE -LDATA -YD -N -H -X -O -M -D \"%1\" ..\\DataImage.iso"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Will make life easy for someone.

[MCT]

i converted what mhz said to an inf..

[Version]
Signature=$CHICAGO$

[DefaultInstall]
AddReg = CDImage

[CDImage]
HKCR,"Folder\shell\MakeBootISO\command",,,"CDIMAGE.EXE -LWINDOWS -YD -N -H -X -B%11%\\xpBoot.img -OCI -M -D %here% %24%\\BootImage.iso"
HKCR,"Folder\shell\MakeDataISO\command",,,"CDIMAGE.EXE -LDATA -YD -N -H -X -O -M -D %here% %24%\DataImage.iso"

[Strings]
here = ""%1""

this will put the iso on your %systemdrive%

Best program to .iso the XPCD ?

cdimageGUI for me!
UltraISO rocks, but its optimization feature is not immune from acting flakey at times - so I can't trust it if optimizing my OS CD.

WinISO su**s. Poor interface. Not properly implemented features (in comparison to today's ultraiso, was good in its day). Not updated since 3 years. What more can I say?

[MCT]

with the above inf code i posted.. anyway 2 make the title of the ISO the name of the folder?
