ISO 9660s

I am seeing that siple ISOs are not really working on Wind 7 ultimate. The
ISOs have UDF data in them and have to be booted from a DVD/R(W). Anything
to make things harder. Even ISOS made without UDF aren't showing up on my
OS. They aren't recognized or the OS says the USB stick is raw or full and
shows no data.

I've never relied on any Windows-included support for ISOs. I use 3rd
party software, like IsoBuster (I use just the free crippled version) to
peek inside the image file or WinCDemu (free) for mounting the image
file but there are lots of other free ISO tools; e.g., Elby's Virtual
CloneDrive, MagicISO's MagicDisc. I've not felt the need to pay for ISO
tools (e.g., UltraISO @ $30, PowerISO @ $30, IsoBuster Pro @ $40,
CDRoller @ $39).

You didn't "finalise" the DVD after creating the bootable disk. Bootable
disks requires to be "finalised" and if you don't know what this means
then google that word.

GG, that's not a nym shifter. He's an upgrader
from the WinXP group, now running Win7. He
was one of the few people running WinXP SP2 x64.

And his name has been consistent for years.
Look it up.

I seem to see no OE on this win 7 ultimate. I have had it about 2 months
now or os. I am using xnews. Whew. It's much harder than OE. All takes time
to learn I guess.

I under linux monted and ISO with UDF data and used genisoimage to create a
non-bootable ISO 9660 without UDF code. To sinmply insert the USB stick and
see if the data was understood. win 7 ultimate wanted to format the
full/empty USB stick. Boot code or not would make no difference, the OS
doesn't seem to be recognizing it. I dodn't know the internals of this
"new" OS like I did XP. And this mahcine I bought used is different too. It
wouldn't recognize my XP X64 sp2 DVD.

Go to;
Control Panel/ Default Programs/ Associate a file type or protocol with
a program
and find .iso in the list.

If it's not there, then you need to install a program or associate one
already installed with it. To do that find an .iso file, right click on
it, select "open with ...".

Here's a list of programs that can deal with them;

The fact it refers to a optical drive as a USB device means something
lower level is the issue. Is the optical drive a plug-in usb dvd drive?

I can't tell what you're really doing.

For identification purposes, I recommend "disktype".

http://disktype.sourceforge.net/

Only problem is, there's no native Windows version.
For that, you can install Cygwin, then install the
disktype package, then extract disktype.exe and
the two Cygwin runtime DLLs, and that makes
a portable Windows version of the tool.

disktype.exe some.iso

And that will give details of the ISO9660 file contents.

*******

I don't see a native ISO9660 mounter in Windows 7.

Purely for your amusement, there is Passmark OSFMounter.
I tried this on an ISO9660 and it worked!

Here is a picture of it working on Windows 7.

Only UDF 2.6 is read-only, on modern Windows. The
others in the table seem to be supported. UDF can
even be applied to hard drives (without knowing
why it would have any merit whatsoever).

Hi Bill,

I see this all the time with Dell's with the computers in the
the back of the monitor. They are essentially laptops mounted
in the back of the monitors case. And I won't say they suck,
they are so-so, but I would say that I'd never personally own one.

The solution is to get an external DVD drive and a powered USB
hub. The "in spec" power drain will crash the ports on
this style of computer.

I carry an external DVD with me for this reason. Only
some DVD disks will work these computer and never the ones
I want to use.

HTH,
