How to extract the CD/DVD boot-image

It seems that it is very complicated to extract the boot-image from a CD/DVD. The most popular tool (bibe) also tries to encrypt the EXE to make the disassemly very hard. It also uses the ASPI-interface (ok, no I understand why it is hard to do this)...

After (unsuccessfully) trying to find some sample code to extract the boot-image from a CD/DVD I decided to do it by my own.

And while trying to do so, I just found a simple solution: You only need to use CreateFile and ReadFile...

And here is the result (including source, no need to hide some stuff): Extracting the boot image from a CD/DVD

Re: How to extract the CD/DVD boot-image
Hi Jochen: I'm interesting in your tool, but can I ask a basic question?What is CD/DVD boot-image and what is it for?

GDI and Memory leak detection
Hello, my comment is about the previous post... I have made a GDI and Memory leaks detection tool... It is free at this state. You can see every allocated buffer (you can dump them) and every GDI object created.. Please, feel free to try it and to send me comments... I hope it will be useful (apologize for sending this on the blog)
