[Qemu-devel] Problems with self-burned CD-Roms

[Qemu-devel] Problems with self-burned CD-Roms

[Peter Taaffe]

Hi to you all!

Having just installed the qemu 0.6.2 version on Debian sarge
with W98 as guest and must admit, that I’m quite impressed, 
how nice everything works. Thanks to all of you guys, who made
that possible – great work – I really love it!!!

There seems to be only one problem with self-burned CD-Roms:
when I insert a self-burned CD-Rom into my CD-Rom driver, W98
on qemu displays only one file on that CD-Rom even if there are
more on it. I tried this with different self-burned CD-Roms, with the
same result.

Do you have any idea, how to solve that problem?

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Cheers,

Peter

Hi,

Are those CD's burned as single session or multi session?

Also, do you use any tricks like MSCDEX in autoexec or something with windows?

Thanks,
Hetz

Those CD's are burned as multi-session CD's.

As far as I know, I do not use such "tricks" ;-).

Many thanks in advance for your kind help!!!

Hi Hetz!
 
Thanks for your suggestion - qemu seems to accept single session CD-Rs only.

I tried several single session (self-burned of course ;-)) single session CD-Rs
and they all worked.

Again many thanks to you for your help!!!


Cheers,

Peter

I think the problem is that windows 98 only works natively with ISO 9660 
CD-ROMs and not UDF CD-ROMs.  Try searching for docs on that, no doubt 
you'll find a utility to get it to understand UDF CDs.

Adaptec used to have such a utility called "DirectCD" (I think this was freely 
available for download).

Hi Mark,
hi James!

Many thanks to both of you for your suggestions. DirectCD solved the problem 
now completely :-))).

Cheers,
