Re: What is the best way to create recovery CD

Since we are running out of ideas how to fix your issue. How about just sticking to the [x]copy thing?

Well, that xcopy-thing is not that issue it self. Since xcopy actually
can copy filenames with such characters. I think xcopy just takes them
as they are and is writing them in exactly the same case - it will be
logged as "writing C:\????????????????????.???... I don't know if that
characters are also shiftet then, but I don't think so.

The problem is OSCDIMG, wich will imediatly cancel iso-image creation,
as it reaches such a file. Maybe it is possible, to use NERO instead
of oscdimg. But I don't know exactly, wich settings to use, to get a
booting winpe CD/DVD. I will try with ETFSBOOT.COM as Image-File, and
then pick up all contet of my working-folder. Maybe it will do the
job.

I actually think robocopy, which is way better and truly unicode app, would be a better choice. I also recall there is a unicode
related issue with robocopy on XP when it writes the log of all file operations performed. I've heard it has been fixed in the
robocopy version shipped within Vista. You may want to check it out, although I am not sure that version will run on XP.
Another possible approach is to have certain files in localized images preserved with slightly modified names to only use ASCII
characters. You can always go back to original file names at run time with a self-cleaning script that is launched very first time
the image boots as runonce (or startup folder) item.

This could be a solution. I also will try that robocopy thing.

Anyway KM, thank you very much for your help and suggestions! I'm
sure, I will find a way, to do that. If there is nothing working, than
I need to go that runonce-way. It will be a kind of pain but if it's
working, than it has to be done.

Thank you!

Steffi
