How to make your own Mini Image.

[neptun]

Zulu thank you for this information.I was wondering is there any way to transform the full backup image into maxi image?Is there a tool which can cut the unneeded sectors from the full image or is it possible to mount my backup image in virtual drive and make maxi image with alcohol or blindwrite from the virtual drive.Is this gonna work?

You can use a capable (best up to 4GB or more) Hexeditor; convert (*2048) sectors to bytes, then choose the blocks/gaps and fill them with zeroes (of course that's no "cutting" or rather a fixed mini-image)

I haven't tried BW5Tweaker on a mounted image, but if it's valid... why shouldn't that work ? Otherwise with Hexeditor.

Apologies if I'm being dopey, but could someone post screenies of the exact settings needed in b5tweaker please? - I don't seem to be missing any sectors.

Cheers

@leezer3
Choose 'Read' as Start Page and leave everything else set to 'Automatic'; after you added the gap zones of your title click on 'Run BlindWrite', choose your drive and start the image creation. Of course your tweaker won't look exactly like in my fictitious example (just for better illustration):

Ah, got it now
Now to answer the readers next question, the best way to find the number of sectors on a DVD is to download DVD-Decryptor and set it to ISO read mode- It will then tell you the number of sectors on your DVD.
