Xp and iso and MS

[Bill Cunningham[_2_]]

Does anyone happen to know if MS uses an altercation of the ISO 9660
standard? I did a raw dump of XP (I guess I can do that) just to look at the
format. It's a ISO 9660 file. But does MS add to the standard it's own
formatting ? I guess some companies and organizations do.

Use disktype to scan the ISO.

http://disktype.sourceforge.net/

I did manage to get the Cygwin version running,
but it doesn't behave exactly the same.

This is a sample of the output from
scanning a Microsoft DVD.

AFAIK, it means the disc has two headers and a set of shared
files. It's a UDF/ISO bridged file system or something. At
the time, I didn't bother to research it.

Well I used dd and did a raw dump. Byte for byte. File said it's an ISO.
It didn't gvie anymore info. I will check into diskpart.
