To those of you I have offended, I apologize - I'm just plain frustrated not being able to use all my XP programs, which include among other things, my Camera utilities!Ĭlick to expand.Trying to create your own bootable installation XP is likely going to be alot of work for you If that can be cleared up, I can try this last method to restore XP. I'm just not understanding why my ISO creation remained 1.37MB and without files. I have everything I need to try a last attempt at restoring XP.everything except a bootable ISO with files! I can't use the unedited restore disks because of the type of drive.Īll I want to know is why my ISO file remained empty after burning, and what I did wrong. So, I again ask: What difference does it make what I am doing with the ISO? I just want to know why it's empty and what I've done wrong (if anything) to leave it empty.

But should the ISO be empty? (If you don't know how to the find the ISO creator (Create ISO image File) under Windows 7, I can't say I blame you I stumbled on it by accident.

Maybe making the ISO through Windows 7 won't work. Going into an explanation of why I wanted to make the ISO was, and in my opinion still is, Immaterial. So, you see, what I am trying to do is find out why the ISO file is empty.I wanted to know what I was doing wrong. See?īut, as I said, when I tried to create the ISO, it just gave me an Empty ISO file, exactly 1.37MB in size. When I found that ISO creator (See, I can't afford to spend a fortune restoring my XP, or go out to buy another H/D) I thought I had a chance to get the file burned properly after making my adjustments. But making an ISO directly from the CD seemed to be an unavailable option. I needed to extract the files, make the changes, inject into the ISO, then burn the ISO to CD. And all the methods I found for restoring windows XP (Different computer) said I needed to have an ISO so I could make my adjustments.
What I found in Win 7 (I found it when right clicked the mouse on the drive letter) said "CREATE ISO IMAGE FILE". Every program I downloaded or investigated (There have been about a dozen) Tells me that in order to create an ISO, I needed an ISO. In order to create that boot disk, I'm told I need to use an ISO. But in order to restore the program in the way I need to, I needed to make some changes to 6 INF files. Very simply, I am trying to restore my Windows XP. OK, let me explain my situation a little better. That is likely the wrong approach to what you want to achieve.

So I think if you are trying to back up your Windows install to an iso file, and using something that came with Windows by default, then that is why you aren't getting the desired result. There are also programs that burn isos (but Win 7 will burn them for you). There are other things that will mount iso images for you. But in 99% of these cases you are trying to image an optical disk.

There are all kinds of software packages that will make isos for you. That is why you got the responses you did. But you never said what you were using, nor what your goal is. Are you trying to "image" your Windows install? I think Windows' backup thing will do that, but like I said I don't know what it creates, maybe it does create an ISO. If you are trying to back up your system, there are probably better ways. Like others have said/implied: What are you trying to do, its being asked because I don't think we know what in Windows makes an iso file that you are using.
