Yes it is a win2k CD - odd enough isn't it? ;) By the way I interpreted your mkisofs -r -J -v -o temp.iso /mnt/cdrom/ as mkisofs -r -J -v -o temp.iso /mnt/cdrom/* when I think of it, it may have been better if I did a mkisofs -r -J -v -o temp.iso /dev/scd0 (this should also work - or am I wrong?) since I wanted the whole CD to be copied.

I think its just certain apps that use cdrecord that have a problem - not cdrecord itself. (but I could be mistaken) I know that X-CD-Roast does not work here, but Gcombust works flawlessly. -- /\ Dark< >Lord \/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Companies will not be allowed to do it. Police will need a court order. As for the technical side, I use postfix with virus protection from 'hbedv' in Germany. I have the setting 'always_bcc = user' in main.cf and have an archive account set up. This is for backup/archival puposes only. The file never gets read unless the user request a copy of the email.

I'm guessing now, first of all go to man cdrecord and man mkisofs in a terminal. there is a lot of stuff in there and there may be a switch to use. I know xcdroast has another window within Create Cd called Boot options, I would try writing the disc with the El Torito option enabled , it's not there for nothing. I'm guessing that you need to specify the boot image path,and I'm guessing that Hard disk image needs to be enabled , well it seems like a likely option , since the default is floppy image boot which is not the case here, you want it to run from CD, not a floppy, and you want the cd to have knowledge of where to find the MBR etc. What puzzles me is why your straight copy of the original boot disc fails to initalise on boot up as the original does.It seems a bit strange if the original boots up it cannot be a bios setting getting in the way, so it has to be something about the copy that is different. I copied many Mandrake CD1's for people doing it with these afforementioned methods without problems. I've also copied the "others" as well. Is there something odd about the original, that the copying software finds it does not know how to resolve do you think. amil me off list if like.
