Using Oscdimg to create an ISO image.
Good afternoon,
A couple of questions.
(1)
I have an original Windows Vista DVD that I want to backup.
I want to create an exact copy of the DVD as a bootable ISO.
I have WAIK installed and want to use Oscdimg.
I have copied all the files from the DVD to the folder C:\Test.
Is this the correct command to use in an Elevated Prompt:
C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools>oscdimg -n -d -m C:\test C:\test.iso
From what I can make out:
-d - Will allow use of lowercase file names. If left out all characters will be uppercase.
-m - Ignores the maximum size limit of an image.
-n - Enables long file names (makes it possible to use filenames up to 30 characters in length).
(2)
I have also been playing around with DISM in Windows 7 etc.
The mounted image is in the C:\Win7ISO\ folder.
I found the below command line on a website that said this was the Elevated Prompt command to use to create an ISO image:
Oscdimg –m –u2 –bc:\Win7ISO\boot\etfsboot.com C:\Win7ISO\ C:\.iso
-b - Specifies the location of the El Torito boot sector file. Do NOT use spaces. Is this NEEDED, what is it?
-m - Ignores the maximum size limit of an image.
-u2 - What an earth is this parameter???
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
I think I should have posted this in the Backup And Restore forum!
I have just found an eplanation for -u2:
-u2 - Produces an image that has only the UDF file system on it. Any system not capable of reading UDF will only see a default text file alerting the user that this image is only available on comouters that support UDF. This option cannot be combined with the -n, -nt or -d options.
