Re: DIY: Navigation Unlocked Sucessfully!!!
Finally got it to work.
For anyone else out there trying, I don't have a good explanation for why it worked but these are my observations:
1st + 2nd try was with a Dell laptop, external burner. Followed instructions exactly as listed in post 1. Didn't work. Tried doing everything, including burning the DVD on IMGBURN, no success. Would even read the disc. Was using Memorex media.
3rd try with Memorex media (same media vas before), but different computer. It worked. This time, I did the following:
1) Copy all files from disc onto desktop into a new folder (v7.1 in my case)
2) Downloaded loading.kwi from this thread
3) replaced the "original" loading.kwi with the one from this thread
4) Used IMGBURN to "build" an image of the files in the new folder (e.g., v7.1 ) using default settings as downloaded and installed. Selected UDF label and used hybridnav as the name (for example). The tricky part was getting all the files into the selection list. I first tried to just select all the files and folders using the program but it can be a little tricky (meaning for some reason, when you select a folder, it may not? select the files in the subdirectories). I tinkered around with a variety of ways to do this. Can't remember exactly what I did, but I think I opened up the v7.1 folder from the desktop, then selected all the files (i.e. point + click with the shift button) and dragged then over the imgburn window. Named the image file hybridnav (at the program produced hybridnav.iso and hybridnav.mds)
5) Then burned the image to disc using IMGBURN. Didn't mess with book type, etc, .... Just used default settings. Selected hybridnav.mds and it did the rest.
Worked first time using this method. Operating system was Vista, Computer was a new HP laptop. I suspect the whole issue is simply hardware. Some burners work, some don't. (I don't know who makes HP's burner). For those trying, you're probably doing it right. Just try a different computer and burner. I spent two nights working on this using the previous computer. Changed computers and did the above, worked first time.
Very easy.
