Wai what ? Did you burn the ISO as in image or did you just put t on a CD ? If you burned it correclty it shouldn't matter what cd-rom it's in. Of course your BIOS has to be set to boot off of a CD first than hard drive.
lol, I figured it out, I had to use a hex editor.
ROFL! You can't boot off a mounted image in Daemon Tools... you need to burn it to a CD and boot from the CD.
Now you gotta explain this... how did you boot off an image that was mounted in Daemon Tools and where does a hex editor come into play???Quote:
Im confused :)
Hi!
That is a common problem. All you need to do is remunerate the drive IO identifier.
To do this, you need to use your hex editor and edit the ISO file. Look for:
code:
486F 6D65 206F 6620 7468 4865 576H 576F
And change it to:
code:
486F 6D65 106F 6620 7468 4865 576H 576F
That will make it so it will read from the correct drive.
I'm still trying to figure out how to do this, I dont understnad how because it wont allow me to search for the whole string in the find box in hex workshop.
How does editing the ISO 'remunerate the drive IO identifier'?Quote:

Hi,
Can't you just Try opening the .ISO File with a CD burning Software like Nero ...................and Burn yourself a CD and Boot with that CD like we all do .................rather than Conduction these weird Experiments with a HEX editor and the .ISO. :) :D
Or are we Missing something Here ?
--Good Luck--
Coudlnt you mount the image from let's say C Drive to a virtual CD rom and then install XP that way on D Drive ? Since you're not formatting C drive, the detup should be readable while it runs all the way right ?
This is by far one of the most confusing threads I've seen in a long while.
I still don't get why the drive needs to be identified and edited in the .iso. I think certain BIOS-es have an option that allow you to change between the drives in your computer [the order in which you can boot from CD-ROMs] but it shouldn't matter.
I think you need to read on what an .iso is because what you're trying to do should only be possible under VMWare. What you're trying here is similar to using an .mp3 disc on an audio CD player [somewhat].
