Help with Virtual drives and ISO's?

aaa27aaa · Sat, 23rd Apr '11, 3:57pm

I recently downloaded an ISO recorder and virtual drive so I can run my games without the run discs in. I had no problem getting 3 of them to work (BG1-ToSC, BG2-ToB, and IWD-HoW) but when I went to create the ISO for IWD 2 I get the following message "Operation Failed. Code 8004021c, Reason: The disc cannot hold anymore data". I know that my hard drive has about 120GB of unused space and my external hard drive has about 420GB unused. What's going on here or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for any help.

Daemon Tools is like the standard for running games from images. As for making the images you could give Imgburn a try. It can create an image from a disc as well as burn an image to disc.

Lemme guess, what you're trying to make the image on is a FAT32 drive? You can't make DVD images to FAT32 drives, they need to be NTFS (or a more exotic format).

EDIT: Technical explanation: Maximum file size for FAT32 drives is 4gb, and a DVD holds 4.7gb, therefore when you try to make a DVD image to a FAT32 drive, it says it can't hold any more data.

Yeah what Taza said I forgot about that issue as well.

It is NTFS and not FAT32. I will try either IMGBurn or Daemon Tools. Thanks

IMGBurn worked fine.

Glad to see that worked for you just fine.
