mounted iso and xcopy cmd
« on: 06 September 2009, 05:51:09 »
Edit: Should this of gone in the 'windows' section?

I doubt any of you know, but i've been googling around for frickin' ages now.

I've got a mounted iso on a virtual drive (l) and i'm trying to copy it over to a flash drive (l)

So i type this into the windows cmd console

Code: [Select]
xcopy l:\*.* /s/e/f k:\
And it copies over 8 files (129kb) from the mounted iso. The virtual drive shows a disc with a total size of 192kb (mounted via poweriso). If i actually explore the iso in power iso, i can see all the files (about 6-7gb).

Anyone know (or take an educated guess) at where my problem lies.

I would say that atm i'm thinking my problem lies with the mounted disk, can an iso contain hidden files? if so could this cause problems in mounting?

Edit: I've tried mounting with deamon too, same problem

This sounds like a problem to me.  What iso is it? And have you tried downloading it again?  I don't actually know how to do what you're trying to do in windows, but if you have a linux live disk lying around, it would be pretty easy.

Like I say, I don't know much about windows CLI, but have you tried going straight to L drive and then trying to see, then copy all the files? Example:
Code: [Select]
L:
dir *
copy * K:Forgive me if my syntax is a little off.  Something about this command makes me think you're not selecting all the files: copy *.*
To me that selects all files with a . in them. Directories won't have a . in the name, so they won't be included in that statement.

Let me know how you get on.

If you're just trying to rip the files from the iso image, there's a much easier way.

Download and install 7-zip, then right click the ISO file, and extract it to the destination drive :)

I tried with 7zip, and winrar. If i just extract, it only extracts the 8 files. If i open them up into the explorer within 7zip or winrar i can see them all.

I'm gonna try copying each folder over manually, maybe theirs a few damaged files in their that's stopping the whole thing. Long shot though :p
