Topic: Iso rebuild and bootable cd

[tikram]

I have been playing around with trying to open and rebuild the SME 6.0 ISO file. My env is windows 2003 and the software I am using is WINISO. I have also tried magiciso, nero, and undisker. The problem i'm having is that the repackaged file, when burned on the CD will not boot the system. I checked the existing SME ISO that does boot and it says it was made using MkISO (a linux utility). SO my question is, DO I need a linux/unix environment to create a bootable ISO image?
note: I've already made sure that the package says its bootable and has the boot image included in the ISO file when i save and burn it on the CD. Its using Joliet 9660 rockridge format with el torito boot.

thanks for your help in advance.

In my experience, yes, it must be done in a linux environment. The installer builds a catalog of files and it must match.  It is not hard at all to do.  Look here:
