Converting CDI to NRG? or how to not use DJ?

[Ponybwoi]

I've tried many times to use diskjuggler (v 3.5) to burn a CDI. I've tweaked settings to almost every possible combination (mode1/2,TOC,etc) and I get the same result every time. I'm guessing that my CD-RW (Creative 4224) sucks, but who knows. The error I get (always after about 5% completion) is:

E-17890 9/22/01 5:34:40 PM - CREATIVE CD-RW RW4224E (E: Bus 1,ID 0): (CDB: 2a000000304400001000, Status: 040002, Sense: 037201) Session fixation error

Anyway, is there a way to convert the CDI to an NRG image so I can use Nero to burn it? I downloaded the Nero version of the Utopia boot cd, and everything worked fine (on the first try). I downloaded the CDItoNero utility, converted my CDI to an NRG, it burned w/ no problems, but does not work in the dreamcast (which is about 2 years old). There must be a way to unpack the CDI, rearrange things, and repack it in a NRG format that will work in the dreamcast.

Thanks for any ideas!
