I know, I know, WW already has it, IA already has it...

These images were made with DiskDupe, "back in the day". They "may be" better, or not.

My notes:
- Disks were imaged shortly after it's release.
- Includes the DOS-based DiskDupe 4.0 program used to image them.
- WinImage v10.0 opened each of the *.DDI images, and was able to save all in *.IMA format.
- The *.IMA images were easily opened with 7zip and UltraISO.

The version of WinImage I am using did not convert the disks correctly. But writing them with diskdupe worked. At a glance the only difference appears to be setup.exe that has a different serial number.

02k-guy

Ah. So can it be inferred that both sets have been used at least once, and the serial was written to setup.exe?

SomeGuy

I'm not 100% sure, but it looks to me like in this case each setup disk may have been given a unique serial number when it was mastered.

02k-guy

Oh, OK. I misspoke above - I'm using WinImage 11, not 10.

On later Microsoft products - the ones that use a 149 byte Setup.ini - the installer writes the serial/user info directly to setup.ini, bypassing the use of the file system. Therefore the file's date/timestamp is not changed.
