Reminder: This is with reference to my earlier E-mail Tue 6/22/2010 10:36 AM, as follows: Hello Sir, Shao Miller wrote on Sun 6/20/2010 8:37 AM>> Noticed that with cd and hd options one can create "super CD" and > "super HD" images. > > Tried for "super CD" image but NOT successful therefore contacting you> to get guidelines/instructions for "super CD" & "super HD" images.How did you notice this? This is with reference to as follows:>imdisk -help.. .. -o option cd Creates a virtual CD-ROM/DVD-ROM. This is the default if the file name specified with the -f option ends with either .iso, .nrg or .bin extensions. fd Creates a virtual floppy disk. This is the default if the size of the virtual disk is any of 160K, 180K, 320K, 360K, 640K, 720K, 820K, 1200K, 1440K, 1680K, 1722K, 2880K, 123264K or 234752K. hd Creates a virtual fixed disk partition. This is the default unless file extension or size match the criterias for defaulting to the cd or fd options.
