ISO trouble

[Admiral Huddy]

Ok, Maybe some of you can help.

I've downloaded something :lipsrsealed: which is around 3GB. The notes say in order to install it, I must create an ISO , then apply a .ppf path to it, then burn it to DVD..


But when I try buring the image (using Nero or magicISO), nothing is on the disk. In explorer, the drive then shows as just a CD drive with a blank disk. I've tried using different DVD, erasing them, formating them etc..

It was suggested to try UltraISO and try expanding the contents.. but nothing displays..

I'm at a loss really.


Suggestions?

What was it you actually downloaded that you're trying to create an ISO out of? A folder structure? Set of files? Single file?

What's a ppf path? :/

Searching for .ppf leads me to find that PPF-O-MATIC is good for this but it mainly seems to be related to consoles.

Never heard of it before and have no idea what it's all about.

Sorry Daz, that should have been patch...

Yes, there's a series of directories, setup and boot files etc..

There's also a text file that describes what I mention in the OP.

There is a PPF-O-MATIC application (thanks Jim) that applies the patch (.ppf - pathtrace prt format file??) to the ISO. When done, you burn the image off on to DVD..

I have tried it without creating the ISO image.. i.e. burning the folders/files straight on to DVD.. that works fine, but I want to complete it as directed..

any further thoughts on this?

Is there an .nfo or some other blurb you could post? Have you got a link to the torrent/news group article?

[Admiral Huddy]

Sure, I'll have a gander when I get home but you know what it's for, yeah ;)

Aye :D

I got to the bottom of this.. Turns out that the Power ISO file I downloaded was corrupted.

I downloded a fresh copy, apllied the patch, created a new ISO and it burnt lovely!!! Cheers for your help guys :)
