Tim EOCF Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 Hi I'm new at this forums and I got a question, the Unattended guide says this (under the OfficeXp section)Got a DVD Recorder? You'll need it if you want to bundle Office XP with Windows XP, due to its large sizeSo I really need an all in one dvd and not a second cd, I'm pretty much a noob in this, but I did all the things in the guide and also a few tweaks of my own (services disabled) Its way to large for a cd, (XP-SP2 + Office SP3, Messenger 6.2 and WmPlayer10)So how can I make the Iso image wich I can burn on a Dvd, and not on a CdSo can anyone help me?

ToBe Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 Burn as you normally do, but use a dvd instead....If you want it bootable, check here.A dvd is just like a cd, just much larger capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astalavista Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 there are two types of DVD single layer and dual layer.Single layer = 4.7 gigDual Layer = 9 giguse Nero Burner to backup your drive. Fast and no brainer to use.Warning!!!make two backups just in case one is corrupted. And make sure to have nero verify that it has made a perfect copy.good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim EOCF Posted September 12, 2004 Author Share Posted September 12, 2004 The guide used CDImage Pro to make the ISO, but when I want to burn it it says that I need to insert a CD-R (RW)So should I just follow the link to make the Dvd bootable provided by ToBe?

Astalavista Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 DUDEI said to use NEROwww.nero.com download the 30 day evaluation copy.install the softwarea window will pop up and tell u what to do. no Brainer to use Nero.Cdimage is so yesterdays news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToBe Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 The -m switch for cdimage ignores the size of the iso.cdimage.exe -mBut I would use nero for this. If/when your image is so big that it won't fit on a dvd it's time to use cdimage.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 CDImage works fine for making DVD images, even used the one I provided on the site to make my own DVD ISO (without any modification to the switches whatsoever). Then burned it to disc with Nero.Astalavista, making a bootable ISO in Nero isn't easy, you have to set settings and have a boot.img file handy. CDImage automates all this with the batch file provided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astalavista Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 so are u saying the if u use cdimage, you don't need boot.img?or do u mean that if automates the settings for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankE9999 Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I am using CDImage to create an ISO image from the files on my HD. I have been using the software that came with by burner to write the ISO file to DVD.attrib -R -H D:\winxp /S /DCDIMAGE.EXE -lWXPFPP_EN -t12/31/2002,12:00:00 -h -j1 -m -bD:\winxp\BOOTIMG.BIN D:\winxp D:\Temp\winxp.ISOIf you are looking for free CD burning software with a GUI interface try CDBurnerXP Pro http://www.cdburnerxp.se/index.php. I have only used this a few times and never for creating a bootable CD but the web site says it can create bootable disks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaDxCrEaM Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 i also use cdimage to make my bootable dvd image, then burn image with dvd decrypter. Easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astalavista Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 please explain to me the process. and how is any different from nero? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 @AstalavistaCDIMAGE way...Use CDIMAGE to create the ISO. An ISO by definition is an EXACT copy of a CD, including boot sector. CDimage can add the bootsector to teh ISO file created.Then use ANY burning software to burn the ISO. No settings to configure, just burn the image.Nero way...You select the files to burn in the compilator.Then in the burning menu's, you then have to configure Nero to burn the bootsector and all it's properties.CDimage does not need the settings to be configured when burning, and the ISO is completely testable in VMware as a bootable CD.
