Error not specified in ISO files
« on: August 30, 2014, 03:21:13 am »
Good morning Shane and participants of this forum. . .


In the construction of pen drive, using ISO files in some cases say that the same (ISO) file is fragmented. I try to defragment and there that it was not possible to defragment due to errors (not specified) message.

Searching the internet to try and solve this problem. . .one of the presented solutions is that it is to exclude, from the torrent manager, in case the torrent, not the ISO file, and download the ISO file again, and the manager of the torrent will review, evaluate and make corrections.

Another option is to use programs like Imgburn and using the ISO file with difficulties, try to create a new ISO file, setting the options with Imgburn :: ISO 9660 + Joliet + UDF for files up to 4GB.

Using Wcontig software: not defragment and error reports (not specified).

Then, none of the aforementioned options work. .

Any possible solution, for example, from a command prompt or other programs or ..

Excuse me but my native language is not English.

Hi Clade - Shane won't be back until Monday - he and his wife are away for the weekend celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary.

Let's see what a chkdsk will find on it.

As you haven't said which version of Windows you are using, follow the appropriate steps in http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/184611en

Happy for Shane and family. . . Family is our greatest asset. . .

Sorry Boggin,  but the OS is Windows 7-64.

Not reported that had already proceeded CHKDSK for both / f and / r, resulting in: 0 KB in bad sectors.

In reality, the pen drive (multiboot) to build, is working. . . is when I try to include some ISO files, the error occurs in these ISO files. . . then I think the difiiculdade is not in the key, but in ISOs.

If you are trying to put more than one ISO onto any media, that will cause problems as that media should only have one ISO as it will be confused as to which it should boot from - just as this can happen when external HDDs are connected on some machines.

Perhaps the multiple ISOs are conflicting in some way because of that.

With just one ISO on the pen drive, do you get any errors ?

I have several files installed on the flash drive, at least 20, and are functional, normally booting into Windows, either ISOs files that are not working and report error. The goal is to leverage the free space on the flash drive, optimizing its use.

I will test with the ISOs files that have errors, installing only one ISO file per pen drive and inform.

How are you using ImgBurn to create a bootable USB as I thought that could only do it for disks ?

Not sure I understand. . .

Used a specific software to create a pen drive with various software (ISOs) to boot.

The Imgburn was used to try to correct the errors in the ISOs files, as reported above.

I used a problematic ISO file isolated in other software to create multiboot and no error appeared. . . then the difficulty is not in the ISO file, but the software that creates the flash drive.

I thought you had used ImgBurn to create a bootable USB ISO.

While I have a bootable Win 7 ISO on a 4GB stick as well on a DVD, the only other bootables have been for Paragon and Kaspersky Rescue Disks and read that for bootable media, it should only have that ISO on it - so I'm not sure how you have working multiple ISOs on one stick.

Several ISOs installed on a flash drive, in my case, 16 GB, used when Windows does not boot. I was trying to include some other software (ISOs) who reported error.

I think the solution is to try using various softwares that create multiboot pendrive (RMPrepUSB, Yumi, Sardu...). . . Some ISOs work for one of these softwares and not for others. . .

I'm not familiar with software that can create multiple boots on one device and tend to just use DVDs for my install/repair tools.

It's possible that some of the recovery ISOs may need to have media of its own but have you come across Hiren's Boot Disk that has a multitude of recovery/repair tools on it http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd

There's a download link at the bottomish of this article http://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/ - haven't a clue where it is on the other page.

Yup.. .

Among the many tools to boot, in the same pen drive, Hiren, in version 10 and version 15.2. . .

I have an "arsenal" of software to correct when Windows does not boot.

The difficulty relates to errors that occurred and I suppose the conclusion is that the issue is more related to the incompatibility with some software multiboot ISOs files from the ISO file itself.

NOTE: Here in the forum have signed "notify me of replies", but is not advising in my email when responses occur.

Grateful for the attention

Perhaps you'll just have to leave it at that and put the problematic ones onto another Flash.

I do have the Notify box checked and have got here through checking the e-mails having just came back online, but I have a load to delete because I was working three threads earlier.

It's the same I think. . . I will test in pen drive individually ISOs files that encountered difficulties.

I refer, above, I do not have notified my email when you reply

My TalkTalk email address that I use for sites like these doesn't put anything into the Spam box, but would put (Suspected Spam) next to all of the Tweaking.com notifications and leave all of the other crap alone, but now it is accepting the notifications as valid emails.

An ISO is a cd/dvd image. Including the boot sectors for the disk (Which make it bootable) so you cant put more than one iso on a device like that at a time because of it. BUT 7-zip and winrar both support opening and extracting the contents of the iso files. SO if you dont need the boot sector from the iso image file and you just need the files then you can just extract them out and put them on the pen drive like ou want :wink:

Sorry there was lots of posts and I read through them quickly, not sure if I missed anything.

Shane!

As I am not expert in the English language, at some point we can not understand us. . .

I have pen drives, built with multiboot software (Sardu, YUMI, etc), whose interior are several ISOs files and functioning normally. But some ISOs files was not possible its introduction in pen drive. . . have the above reported errors.

Not yet tested ISOs individualment these files, or only one for each pen drive.

Grateful for the attention!

Never had an error like that with an ISO before, unless the iso didnt fully download. See if you are able to extract all the files out of the iso and see if you get any errors extracting. If you do then the iso is bad and most likely not downloaded all the way. :wink:

I used 7-Zip to extract the files from the ISOs files and no errors occurred.

I begin to wonder who is disagreement with the software multiboots

Then I dont think the problem is the ISO, if you could extract all the files without any errors then the iso should be good.
