From: Thomas Jarren on 7 Dec 2009 22:27 Hello. I know I'm in the wrong forum, but I can't seem to find where to go. If I explain my issue, perhaps someone can direct me. I have a win98 ISO that burns fine to a CD that I use for ghosting (backup etc). I extracted the autoexec.bat file, edited then added it back. When I burn the cd, I don't get the auotexec with my changes. If I view the file using windows, it is there on the cd with my changed. However when booted the "original file" is there. I've erased, formatted tried 4 different cd, same issue. Again, I apologize for posting here as I know it doesn't belong, but if anyone can point me to somewhere of help, I would appreciate it. Thanks Thomas

From: Pegasus [MVP] on 8 Dec 2009 02:22 Maybe a newsgroup with "Win98" in its name, e.g. microsoft.publick.win98.gen_discussion? When you repost, remember to state what tool you used to modify your ISO file, and what you see when you extract the modified file right after adding it back to the ISO file.

How would one edit an autoexec.bat file on a READ ONLY CD??? Hmmm, one does wonder how to perform such an impressive act... Found the fix, Thanks anyways.
