Hello all!!

After I burn an ISO image to CD, created with HD2ISO
tool, I cannot read the content of the CD (but it works
fine). I know that this is a "feature" of this format,
but anyone knows how to read this ??
I created a XPE image that runs from RAM (without EWF,
using RAMDISK), loading from this CD, but now I want to
put more files in this CD to read them. Is it possible ??

Thanks in advance,

Hi Fabio,
If Eltorito driver is present in your XPe image it should allow you to access this "hidden" part of CD.
But better way for you would be to create cd in a dual way.

At the beginning you should have El-torito bootable disk with XPe contained within SDI file.
And you can place your extra data on regular part of CD seen by regular windows CD drivers.

So you should use some recording program that can write your ISO file and files that you select simultaneously on different parts of
CD.

This way you will have the best appearance.

When looked from XPe or XP you will see only data on normal CD section.
But BIOS will be able to boot from El-torito section of CD.

Best regards,
Slobodan

Hi Fabio,

Nero can do this.
Maybe you should upgrade to new version if you can't find a way to do this with this version. 6.3.0.2 have this option.
