Is my DVD volume name stopping program installation?
I burned a program iso to a data DVD then stupidly deleted the iso before
finding that one file on the dvd was corrupt. I managed to get a new file then transferred the whole data DVD structure to my hard disc then replaced the bad file with the new one. After burning a new DVD using DiscJuggler the install program keeps asking "insert disc 1" The volume names on the old DVD and new DVD are identical as 061028_0247 so how can the Windows install program tell that it is a different DVD? Is the volume name used by install programs anyway? Beemer |

As a rule, this is called copy protection.

Whether the volume name (volume label) is used depends on how the install program is written. Disks also have a volume serial number which can be used to distinguish copies from the original. If you open a DOS window and view the directory you'll see something like this: $ dir e:\p Volume in drive E is MX120 Volume Serial Number is 5C22-0AB5 |

Volume label you can specify, but not the serial number. Besides the serial number is generated by Windows supposedly based on the cd creation time stamp in one of the fields in the Primary Volume Descriptor. Nero 5 shows under Label tab the various fields you can specify/burn, but there is no entry for serial number because it's not in the ISO 9660 spec. This MagicIso page shows the fields you can modify: http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-properties.htm See if there's a small file named something like "Disk1". (The file may be hidden, so set Windows Explorer to show hidden files.) Some copy protection methods are explained he CD Protection Overview http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/Revi...ArticleId=6071 For audio cd there's RID and SCMS: http://www.barrel-of-monkeys.com/gra...yers/scms.html |

Use Windows Explorer to examine the properties of the "drive", and type in what you want. I think that there is an 11 character limit, some characters aren't allowed, and it's safest to stick to upper case. When I burn CDs and DVDs (using Creator 8 Classic), a popup property window also allows me to replace the suggested volume label. With multi-session disks, the volume label can be changed any time you add another session, but don't do it just to change the label unless you really need to, since adding those 11 characters will waste about 13MB of CD disk space each time you do it, possibly a lot more for DVDs, although I've never checked them. I can't tell you how you'd change the volume serial number. Normally the value is randomly assigned when a disk is formatted or copied. I vaguely recall seeing a DOS utility program that could assign volume serial numbers to disks, but that was years ago, and I have no idea what the program was. |
