Help: Pcgedit error when generating ISO

I tried a couple of times on different rips but still the same error. Does anyone know what's going on? Thanks!

Here's the log file:

Can't be right. The HDD still has at least 250G on it.

Output file: "G:\Bullitt Widescreen\DVD\DVD.ISO"

Does that path exists from the start? Could be that it can't create folders inside mkisofs.

Is your HD formatted in NTFS? If you use a FAT32 partition, you have to enable the "Split ISO image into 1GB chunks" option in the burn setup dialog.
Windows issues a (wrong) "No space left on device" error message when you try to write a large file on a FAT32 partition.

BTW, since you have a Windows NT (or XP) system, I strongly suggest formatting or converting your drives to NTFS, if it's not already the case.

Looks like that's the case. The drive is in FAT32. The error message was generated at around 50% during the ISO generation. I'll have to format the drive to NTFS and re-rip all those DVDs again.

NO NO NO!

It is a 5 minute job and no data is lost!!!!!!!!!!!!

From the desktop press F1 for Help - "Convert to NTFS".

Right, the conversion of the partition can be made with data on it.
Take in mind that you will not be able to read and write the partition from Win9X or other operating systems like Linux (though it is possible to read it, but not to write it.)

And, if you have Acronis back-up software program on your computer, and you have established a Acronis Secure zone back-up partition on your hard drive, don't try and change the default Acronis Secure zone from FAT 32 to NTFS, according to Acronis, their Acronis Secure zone is designed to be FAT 32.

Oops! I saw this post too late. All the data is gone already...

[blutach]

Oh no, Mr Bill.

I feel sorry for you.

look on the bright side, I have read several times where the conversion screwed up, much better to start clean and fresh

Everything is working fine now. Thanks guys!

MS says ntfs for all drives over 32Gigs, I take them at their word but for a data drive I do a fast format.
