Error message causes IFD to hang?

Post by Bob Coleman »

IFD 2.67 received with BIBM.

I have an image on DVD put there with BingBurn.

I booted IFD from CD and started through the sequence to restore the image. On the screen listing all the options, just to see what would happen, I clicked Save Defaults (I think, not sure exactly what the button says). Not surprisingly, I got an error message that the settings could not be saved. When I cleared this and continued, the restore hung at 0%.

I tried various scenarios repeatedly. If I don't try to save settings, the restore works. If I try, unsuccessfully, to save settings but am restoring an image from HD, that works.

Repeatedly, trying, unsuccessfully, to save settings when restoring from DVD, the restore hangs.

Not a big deal obviously. It's a stupid thing to try, but the process probably really shouldn't hang ether.

I booted IFD from CD and tried to create an image directly to DVD.

I got an error message NOTE: The discs created will not be bootable because the CDBOOT.INS file was not found or it contained invalid references.

I don't know the cause of that message, but the point here us that after I clicked OK on the message, the image creation hung at 0%.

Having now seen two different processes hang at 0% after receiving two different error messages, I'm beginning to wonder if the production of the messages is somehow causing subsequent processes to hang.

It's probably because the BIOS tried to access the device and causing a
conflict on the hardware or within the BIOS. This PATA or SATA (AHCI)?

Not that I really understand this, but I'll take your word for it in the first case I described.

Does that explanation make sense in the second case (cdboot.ins) missing?

It's SATA (AHCI).
