Disk 2 Error After CD Burn

[Chrisco]

We are using SF 5.0 on a large program "Roll-out". The final Build of the software is aprox. 630 MB. Our source disk created on either a Yamaha IDE 4x4x16 or a Creative IDE 6x4x24 creates a "Please Insert Disk #2" when testing the setup.exe created by the build process. The burn and build both occur with NO errors. We have used different media from "junk to Hi-Quality", updated or Adaptec Software, Switched to Ahead Nero burning software, burn our source disk @ different speeds and updated the firmware on all burners with no success. The setup.exe installs fine if run from a network drive and never burned to disk. The error also has absolutley no consistency. It will Occur @ different times during install from a disk and dosen't always happen on the same CDROM. We are out of ideas aside from junking our production PC's that burn all of our other projects fine.

Re: Disk 2 Error After CD Burn

Hi,
Have you checked the size of the SETUP.EXE that you burned to the CD-ROM is it the same size as the one that works from the netwrok drive? A Setup Factory will ask for a second disk when it cannot find all the information that it needs on the current disk, that is why I asked about the file size.
Also what burning format are your using? ISO-9660? Problems sometimes occur on older computers when people use burning formats that are not 8.3, formats like joliet might not work on all systems.

mark.

Re: Disk 2 Error After CD Burn

Thanx Mark. The file sizes are identical. I will try using the 8.3/ISO-9660 or verify the developers are doing it that way and let you know.

Re: Disk 2 Error After CD Burn

Double checked both suggestions and the problem still exists. All systems are burning the image ISO9660/8.3 and the file system sizes are identical from the source to the disk. Do you have anymore suggestions? occasionally we can burn 4 to 6 CD's in a row with no system changes and they all test fine. I dont know if this helps or complicates your troubleshooting.
