That's because you haven't got file extensions showing. Go to Folder Options and make sure they are.
It's a good idea to always have file extensions showing - not least so you know the kind of files you are dealing with.
If you are on Vista /7, type Folder Options in start search , press enter, click the View tab, untick the box that says Hide extenxions of known filetypes , Apply, ok.

I've been getting similar errors, after adding quotes got this error message:
C:\Windows\system32>Oscdimg.exe -u2 -b"C:\Users\Jamez\Desktop\expandedSetup\boot
\etfsboot.com" -h "C:\Users\Jamez\Desktop\expandedSetup" C:\WIN7.ISO

û should not be there, so i figured there was an error in the process of copying text. so i just typed the whole thing out by hand and it worked perfectly, give that a go.

OK so I tried doing this with similar syntax but I seem to have a problem.
My windows 7 extendedSetup file is in my D:\ drive and I can't put it on C:\ because I do not have enough space to do so. Is there any way at all to alter that command to redirect it to where it is saved on my D:\ drive?????

Hi SIW
I has the same problem. I've downloaded the Oscdimg, unzipped it, and put it in system 2.
Then went to command and put in
Oscdimg.exe -u2 -b"C:\Users\William\Desktop\expandedSetup\boot\etfsboot.com" -h "C:\Users\William\Desktop\expandedSetup" C:\WIN7.ISO
I then get a error message Window saying - C:\Users\William\Oscdimg.exe is not a valid win32 application
Any ideas?
William

I put in the command with a small "o", but exactly the same error message appears.
Haha yeah my path names do get a little ridiculous but I can remember them.
I have 2.91 GB free on C:\ and 303 GB free on D:\. I should also note that D:\ is a slave drive to C:\ if that makes a difference.
And I copied the files to D:\ so the path name is now D:\expandedSetup
I put in the command: oscdimg.exe -u2 -bC:\etfsboot.com -h D:\expandedSetup D:\WIN7.ISO
to give it a stab and experiement and it is currently copying something which is 80% complete. Did I put it in right?
I should also note that I copied the etfsboot.com file into the C:\ which would explain the C:\ part of the command.

Yip, it is defiantly there.
Can print screen if you want.

Ako,
Oscdimg.exe –u2 –bD:\expandedSetup\boot\etfsboot.com –h D:\expandedSetup D:\WIN7.ISO
Nice easy one.
Can you make a bit more space on C before you start - for the temp file - clear some restore points - run diskcleanup - or move a gig or two over to a folder on D somewhere.

Cool I think that would give me the same results as my command which is nice. Thanks so much!
I plan on partitioning my hard drive on the Windows 7 install to give ALOT more space to C:\ when I install. Is this a good idea?
Also, to make this a bootable dvd I just have to run MagicISO at this point correct?
