Instantcake files on hard drive

[richdell]

I purchased and downloaded Instantcake for my hdvr2 and created a tivo drive. It worked great.
Now some time later, I wish to do another one. I had saved the Instacake files on my hard drive, but can't burn a cd that will boot. The folders I have are _IMAGES, _LIVE, ISOLINUX. I also have files called, WPSTART.EXE, AUTORUN.INF and a couple of text files. I burned them with Nero on to a cd, everything looked good, I set my XP computer to boot from CD, but when it shows, "boot from cd" it pauses then Windows starts. What am I missing?

Thanks, Rich

You need to use the ISO file and burn it to a CD as an "image" (it would have been created when you unzipped the file you originally downloaded); take a look in the README for more info on that.

Unpacking the ISO onto your drive (as you did) won't really be very helpful, unless you are just looking for the image file (000001) which lives in the _IMAGES folder; that can be used directly with MFStools if you prefer.
