#1 Burning Software

I am just looking to burn data to CD/DVD and also make CD bootable. Are there any samples out there not already included in the SDK?

I am a newbie.

Unfortunately not at this moment. We'll release StarBurnX wrapper soon but it would not be VERY fast.

Ok, I need to know how to add the boot.bin or if supported boot.img to the CD I am burning to make it bootable. I will use the DVDBurner VB.NET sample as my guide.

Any help will be appreciated.

So, there is the basic steps for burning the bootable CD-DVD data disc.

1. Create the CJolietImage object;
2. Append files and folders to the CJolietImage object;
3. Use the SetBootImage function to specify the image file for CJolietImage object;
4. Build the image;
5. Burn disc - TrackAtOnceFromFileSystemHandle( (JolietImage.FileSystemHandle ...)

Dima, please change the name to the one with the (staff) on the end. Or people would be confused Thanks!

I got the burning part done. Of course I have to do error checking and so on but now on the final part

Do I need to use Device.CloseSession() since here I am telling it not to use nextsession?

Device.TrackAtOnceFromFileSystemHandle(JolietImage.FileSystemHandle, False, False)

Also do I use boot.bin or boot.img when creating a bootable CD just like XP? Sorry if this is vague..

CloseSession(...) call for OCX is obsolte. You don't really need to do this - toolkit would take care of this issue automagically.

It depends upon media type you'll emulate with CD. Would it be pure CD or CD with floppy image emulation. Check parameters to SetBootImage(...). And it's you who should pass right value to us as we have no clue is it CD or say floppy or HDD boot image.

Anton thanks!

Ok, I want to create a bootable CD just like Windows XP. What I am doing is modifiying Windows XP CD to be automated and so on so when I reburn I need it to boot just like the original...."Press any key to boot from CD..."

Would it help to send you the boot.img?

Look at WinPE sample from Delphi console samples.

What StarBurn license type did you purchase?

I have not purchased yet but will be your customer soon! You guys have a great product and your support is awsome.

Good, thanks!
