AussieJohn Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Hello all. I have just acquired a new LG Dual-Layer DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW. burner. I have the full set of 4 CDROMS of Mandrake 10 OE and I am interested in putting all four discs onto the one DVD-R (TDK brand). I also have K3B ver. 0.11.12. I have experience copying CDROMs including Mandrakes but have always "cloned" the CDROMS so the copies have always been bootable. I believe that there is a special routine to put 4 cds onto one DVD and still be bootable. Does anyone know it or how to get the routine ??? Would greatly appreciate. Cheers. John.

Cannonfodder Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Maybe this would make a good workbench project? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AussieJohn Posted July 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Thanks MadDOG and Pinot for geting onto the case. Yes MadDOG, I think it would make a great project especially now that DVD Dual Layer burners are becoming more prevalent and economical to buy. Cheers. John.

Steve Scrimpshire Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 This topic has been talked about several times. Here's the latest where I describe how I do it. I have absolutely no idea why these people are saying stuff like 'the problem is the DVD won't be bootable' I've used this method several times and it works fine: http://mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=14313&hl=burn P.S. Is there anyway possible to do away with the forbidding of words less than four letters when searching this board???? One cannot search for "burn + dvd + iso" for example.

Guest anon Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Not if we want to retain "full text search" You can however do burn+dvd+iso* which will throw up not just posts that contain all three words, but also posts which have only one or two of the words.

AussieJohn Posted July 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Sorry pinoy. I did not mean to be rude. I thought I had typed pinoy but being a 2 finger typist I touched the "t" button instead. "t" and "y" are alongside oneanother. Cheers. John.

grendal Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 will this method work if you dont have the iso images? I have the powerpack edtion discs but no isos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 if you have the CD's you can make ISO's with mkisofs. the scripts require that you have all the ISO's in one directory, so they wouldn't work with the cd's - unless you did a slight rewrite of the scripts.

grendal Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Ok, so I just need to make ISO's with mkisofs, then proceed. Thanks Tyme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 (edited) With the method I suggest in the link in my last post, it actually makes no difference as to whether you have the CDs or the ISOs. The MakeCD script, that is on the disks already, works fine. Edited July 22, 2004 by Steve Scrimpshire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
