Chipmunkzors Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Hey I download a iDeneb installer, it finished the downloaded and was about 4.3gb but when I try to extract what's inside, there's less than 1mb worth of files. What am I doing wrong? I've tried using winRAR and Daemon tools.

dies Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 What am I doing wrong? You mean aside from not having a clue what an .iso is ? or how useful Google is ? You're trying to extract something that you should be trying to burn.

Chipmunkzors Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 I've tried google. And you can't burn an .iso to a USB drive. Which is why i'm trying to extract the files from the .iso and copying them onto the flash drive. Which is basically the equivalent.

Not sure, I very rarely use Windows... If you had a "unix-like" system, Linux or whatever, you could just mount the iso and cp the contents, then try to make it bootable.

Chipmunkzors Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 Thanks for your help but I think I'll put the installer on HD and boot from that instead. Once I get a partition program.

Gujal Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Use ISOBUSTER or POWERISO to read/extract ISOs which are in HFS Format. WinRAR and Daemon tools dont support MAC Format.

I was going to suggest those but I just figured they didn't support hfs either.
