hi Jack,

I'm a bit unclear on what you're trying to do. /QNTC won't help if you need the disk in an image catalog (the title mentions ADDIMGCLGE). Instead, I would suggest this process:

1) Use PC CD software to extract an .ISO image from the CD.
2) FTP the ISO image to your IFS. Make sure you use BINARY mode.
3) Use ADDIMGCLGE to add it to an image catalog.


Paul Musselman suggested sharing the CD on your computer running IBM i via Windows Networking, and then mapping a drive letter to do that. That would make sense if you had physical access to the box running IBM i, but did not have access to a PC with a CD drive. But, I think your situation is the other way around, right?

I'd say your best bet is to create an image catalog on the target machine,

there,
you can add the image catalog entry, and mount it to the virtual optical
drive for your install.
