    Ever since I reformatted my windows (c:/) drive my CD & DVD ISOs havn't worked. I've tried using the software I always used to open/edit ISOs, WinISO and UltraISO, but they both give "invalid file" errors and refuse to open them. I've only gotten one image to work through Daemon Tools but the rest won't load. Anyone got and ideas?

    yes, i have a primary c:/ and secondary d:/ drive. I thought the isos on my secondary hd might be corrupt so I coppied two isos from my friends pc and one of them loads in Daemon Tools but still has the same error when attempting to open it using WinISO / UltraISO, and the other has the same problem as rest.

    ntfs, the isos range from ~600mb (cds) to ~4gig (dvds)

    when you formatted the c drive did you erase all the programs and then reinstalled them?

    im stumped. what could cause 3 different progs to have trouble with the same type of files. though deamon tools works sometimes. it would seem the files are to blame. but how? did you format the d drive also? maybe your install of windows is to blame? try running a repair on windows.
