I have extracted a bif succesfully. Â I then go to File/New/Bootable CD/DVD. Â I then load the bif.
Under the Actions menu I add the folders and files I want in the image and then rename the CD. Â I save it and give it a name.
I then boot to the cd successfully with the following problem: Â It crashes and goes to an "A:> prompt. Â When I do a "Dir" it shows only 8 files with no folders.
In windows explorer all the files and folders are on the CD. Â Obviously there's something I don't understand. Â Help ! ! !
Thanks,
Roger Edmonds

I have a Ghost boot cd which I am attempting to modify.
It boots to PC DOS 7.1 and then runs a menu with the Ghost options.
I extracted the boot file from this cd, since the drivers, etc on the cd are for that version of DOS.
I then started a new project from within UltraISO. After it was open I loaded the image file I had extracted from the Ghost CD.
I then used the action menu to add the folders and files that I wanted as part of the image.
I then saved the image, closed and reopened UltraISO, and reopened the image file. I verified that the config.sys and autoexec files were the ones that I intended to be part of the image.
I then used the built-in Burn Image option to burn the CD.
When I boot to it, it says "Starting PC DOS" just like the original Ghost Boot CD does, but it then gives a quick error message and stops at an A:> prompt. When at the DOS prompt I type "Dir" and press enter and it only lists 8 files even though when I put it in another computer and open explorer it shows that about 15 folders and 13 files are in the root of the CD.
Now the next chapter....After some more experimentation, and rewriting, I can see all the files, but even though the config.sys and autoexec. files on the cd are the correct ones the options that show up on the menu are from the old config.sys and autoexec.bat file (which I assume is "inside" the boot image), but I can't see those files even using UltraISO.
I am new at UltraISO (I know you couldn't tell). I must be doing something wrong in the process, but the help files don't really explain much detail about the things you can do with UltraISO.
Thanks for your reply and interest in my problem,
Roger Edmonds

Thanks for the detailed information.
Under DOS environment, CD-ROM is loaded as a drive such as D:, E:, etc. Please find in autoexec.bat for command mscdex.exe:
MSCDEX.EXE /D:oemcd001 /L:X
and use the following command to access CD-ROM:
A>X:
X>DIR

When it crashes to the "A" prompt, it is the CD ROM drive. The files it lists when I "dir" are in the root folder of the cd rom drive when I look at it in Windows Explorer.
