Editing an ISO image

Hak Foo · 13-May-06, 11:57 PM

I want to slipstream SP4 into my Win2000 disc. Simple enough, no? I already have the SP4 files.

First, I needed a way to get the ISO to work with. After some looking, I find LCISOCreator, and it gives me an image.

But now I can't find anything to let me EDIT the image. (slipstream requires removing a chunk of the original files and replacing them with the new version)

I see a few programmes talk about editing ISOs, but most of them have 300Mb caps on the shareware versions. A complete Win2000 CD is approx. 350Mb. I suspect the 300Mb cap is deliberately to prevent people getting this service for free. Since I only need it for this one task, it's absurd to spend 30 bucks for a "full version" I'll use exactly once.

What is there which is free, or at least a trial of sufficient functionality to let me accomplish my goal?

I have a programme to BURN the disc, so that's not an issue.

Im not sure exactly what you are trying to do but you could try out MagicISO

Without the context:

I want to delete some files in an ISO image, and add new files in their place.

I looked at MagicISO; it announces at startup "trial version will not save a file of over 300Mb", which means I'd have to blow 30 bucks for a utility I'd use exactly once.

I personally wouldn't recommend MagicISO for editing images.

Every single image I have edited using that app has been corrupted when saving the changes to disk.

Can't WinRAR edit ISO files?

Hak Foo, you got PM

Try these
isorecorder
easyISO
iso_tools

Tried a few more.

Several stop at 300Mb, so they're out of the running. ISOMagic *seems* to work but produces a hopelessly screwed up image when it finishes writing. Will try a newer version.

I get the impression that I should have gotten one of those optical drives that came with a software bundle. I can't imagine EVERYONE has this problem. :/
