Alex, I appreciate your help and information very much.
Further developments: I sussessfully burned that iso image with Nero 7 on
the rig with 4GBs but then I decided out of curiosity to repeat it with the
script. The burning failed. It seems I got a completely prestine, empty disk.
In the task amnager I observer memory usage mounting slightly over 2Gbs but
not as much as 2.65 Gbs that could be expected from the source iso file. I
suspect there is another issue involved. Perhaps WMI cannot handle such big
files no matter what. Nero 7 employed buffering which was evident from the
fact that the memory usage never exceeded 800 Mbs as was apparent from a
progress bar at the bottom. on this superfast quad it took about 3 min.
Thus I've decided to close the issue as far as such huge files are
concerned. I dont do any pictures or music. Data files is my only need.
I am wondering if you have any experience in handling iso files via any .NET
classes or even scripts. I do have Winimage.exe installed and it opened the
disk file momentarily and displayed the tree directory but I want to examine
other options. I've been looking for a chance to get a handle on iso files
one way or another.
Perhjaps you know of a web site where the complete file format is described
in detail, metadata including.
Many thanks.

OK, I've reared quite thorough all you rpoints. I think, I've answered all
of
them.
Yes, again, I am pretty certain the index is 1. I checked it a few times
with the script I posted. The script showed me 3 devices, one was ReadOnly
DVD. It was the first one. I presume the index was 0, the second one was
the
one in question and the third one is a USB SanDisk.
I think you're fine. The right way to do this reliably for virtually anyone
would be to find a unique string in the ID, then use that as a comparison
check before burning, but in reality I don't see it being a problem.
Generally static CD drives are the first items on the list and won't move it
appears.
What do you think of Ubuntu, BTW? Just curious. What is the advantage of
having a Ubuntu server vs. MS WinServer 2008? This is off-topic though.
Haven't used it enough to have a strong opinion, yet. ;) My first scripting
experiences in the early 90's were on a then-ancient PDP and some
Sparcstations, but I've always worked in the Windows world - and for
everyday use, I've felt Windows desktop systems are clearly superior since
the introduction of XP. I installed it as a virtual machine for some testing
primarily.
I do have a brand new DELL T7400 quad with 4Gbs of RAM. Now I am happy I
got
that much of RAM for this machine. People were saying that it was just a
waste of money because nobody saw any performance gain with more RAM but
perhaps there are moments when you need it.
There is no such thing as "too much RAM". ;)
