Hello i´m writting a driver to write data to a dvd+rw discs ,these discs are similar to dvd+ram and can be written randomly like a hard disk in blocks of 32KB ,so i planned to use them as a removable hard disk ,iso9660 filesystem
is not suitable for this ,so i will use fat32 fs ,has someone tested if this kind of
disks formatted like the hd with mbr + fat32 partitions are standard and supported by linux and windows or the only option is iso9660?
i already write the first 4GB of my hd to one dvd+rw and tried to boot the computer with it ,but did not work, so only iso9660 is bootable.
Also tested with a dvd player and did not work.

Have you tryed using your hdd bootable image, to MAKE BOOTABLE in a burn CD software, as i think it needs some info other than just a bootable image, once you have that working, you could move on from there, but emulation only works in realmode.

I already know el Torito especification, but what i want to do is the cd burning program ,dvd+rw is easy but is not suported by most current hardware,
now i'm searching info about formatting cd-rw wich is more complex.
Also wanted to know if i can use other filesystems than iso9660, but now i don't have windows installed on the computer with the dvd-ram recorder so i will test it later.

I new what you meant, but i thought the best way to do it was to use a image of a fat32 hdd as a emulation, work on the image in memory in your OS, than write it back to the dvd as a block.
Any way here is a link that may help: http://www.gentle.it/alvise/cd-r.htm

interesting link thanks.
you propose to put a fa32 image like a file inside a iso9660 filesystem, i have not tried this but i think that windows and other oses (except octa os) will not mount the image file so it is useless for my purposes. Already tested to rawrite a floppy image to a cd-rw but windows did not support it.
I suppose that i have to use iso9660 or forget compatibility.
recording a cd-rw (and perhaps a cd-r and dvd-r) is not very complicated:
1 blank the disk (it was a used disk)
2 write data secuentially without stop
3 close track 1
4 close session
i don´t change the default mode page, and at least it works with my computer.
recording a dvd+rw is even easier
1 format the disk if not already formated
2 write data anywere at any time in 32KB blocks.
