I have Devilowns XP

It is on my hard disk after copying a CD with it on.

When copying to CDR, and trying to install it does not work and along the way says cannot copy files.... - e.g. kernel32.dll, and many other files mainly .dll

I made several copies using easy CD 3.5, Nero and Easy CD using Disc at once and all the same. It cannot copy different files in different installation attempts.

It installed fine from hard disk. (Its on a different partition. )

Any thoughts?

Whats a good program to use to copy properly the files across.

I have Nero 5.5.2.4, easy CD Creator 3.5 and 5.

Thanks

This is on the VERY verge of being a warez topic and it is likely that this will get closed / deleted but I'll try and help anyway.

You shouldn't have "copied" the files like you have done... you should get the original XP CD and grab CloneCD... use CloneCD to make an IDENTICAL copy of the CD. You don't want to mess about with just the files because it won't have boot capability and might not even work. You need to get back the main CD as it is unlikely that you can do much useful with the copied files you have [they might have become corrupted by a virus or similar, I don't know].

I also had this problem when burning using Nero 5.5. This is because either Microsoft did this on purpose because they Nero is a very popular CD-Burner.

To solve this try using Fireburner (www.fireburner.com), this works perfectly (not that I've done this, I've just heard it...honest). Be sure to download the support files aswell.

You should NEVER copy files to CD via Drag 'n' Drop, as this won't make the CD bootable.

Hope this helps :-)

You forgot to

Include Hidden Files = [X]

Long Filenames (Joliet) = [X]

Include System Files = [X]

Recurse Subdirectories = [X]

Here copy/paste instruction using CDRWIN.

Open up CDRWin and go to 'File Backup and Tools'...

. Add the directory, where you have extracted your old .ISO to the 'File Backup List'.

. Apply the following settings:

Preserve Full Pathnames = [_]

Include Hidden Files = [X]

Long Filenames (Joliet) = [X]

Include System Files = [X]

Recurse Subdirectories = [X]

Include Archive Files only = [_]

. Select a filename for your new .ISO image.

. Apply the following settings:

Check Directory Depth = [X]

Disable Version Numbers = [X]

Generate Raw Sectors = [_]

Disable DOS Conmpatibilty = [_]

. Proceed to the 'advanced options'...

. On the 'Volume Descriptor' tab:

Volume Label = WXPVOL_EN

Publisher Name = MICROSOFT CORPORATION

Preparer Name = MICROSOFT CORPORATION

. On the 'Bootable Disc' tab:

Make Bootable Disc = [X]

Media Emulation Type = Custom

Image File Name -> the place where you have stored the boot.bin on your HD.

Developer Name = MICROSOFT CORPORATION

Load Segment = 07C0

Load Sector Count = 4

. All settings done... Now just hit the 'START' button to burn your new bootable .ISO image

    • Microsoft bans LibreOffice developer's account without warning, rejects appeal by David Uzondu Recently, we reported on LibreOffice, accusing Microsoft of intentionally using complex file formats as a tactic to lock in users to Microsoft Office, hindering open source alternatives like LibreOffice. Now, Microsoft has banned LibreOffice developer, Mike Kaganski, from using its services, citing an "activity that violates [its] Services Agreement". According to Mike, this happened last Monday when he tried to send a technical email to the LibreOffice dev mailing list, which is a normal part of his routine, but Thunderbird returned an error saying the message couldn't be sent. His account was blocked upon retry, and he found himself completely logged out of his Microsoft account. Kaganski guessed that his mail and account were getting flagged by a bot or something, since he was quite sure that nothing in the mail violated Microsoft's terms of service. So he decided to file an appeal, a process which later made him call Redmond "miserably incompetent in IT." The automated system asked for his phone number, which he provided, only to be greeted by a "Try another method" error message. The problem was that there was no other method offered. He then decided to reach out to Microsoft support directly. After some digging, he found a link to contact the team, and there it was, a button asking him to "Sign in to Contact support". Now, you might go, "Hold up, how is he supposed to sign in to contact support when his problem is that he can't sign in in the first place?" As Kaganski himself put it: He eventually got to use his wife's account to file an appeal and finally received a message from support. The instructions inside asked him to go to the sign-in page and, when told the account is blocked, provide a phone number. However, Microsoft ignored his detailed report of the failing process, marked his ticket as resolved without any real action, and simply closed it. He is yet to recover his account. As for the email he was trying to send, he was later able to use Gmail, and it went through with no problem. If you are interested, you can read the full email for yourself and see if it violates Microsoft's services agreement. Mike's not the only person who's had their account locked recently, with seemingly no way to recover it. On the 17th of last month, Reddit user u/deus03690 shared how Microsoft locked their account, which, among other things, contained 30 years of "irreplaceable photos and work" on OneDrive. Their appeal, like Mike's, has been fruitless so far. The user said Microsoft reached out 10 days later, asking them to fill out a recovery form and promising to help them "every step of the way," but they haven't heard from the company since.
    • It's like Microsoft hasn't learned anything from Internet Explorer fiascos. Or they weren't slapped hard enough financially for it...
    • Yes they're payroll taxes with some of it linked to share-based compensation for employees. So when the stock price was rising in q2 these charges also increased.
    • Stopped using paypal as much as I possibly can after the whole Honey mess. Their entire business model essentially is to be a trustworthy middleman and they lost all of it by deciding to do shady things without telling the users. Well done Paypal.
    • I need someone to explain to me what "passkey" is and what happens if my device crashes and is not recoverable.
