Override for Navi - v5.1 LOADING.KWI File [Archive] - Page 2

I have an 08 Highlander with the 7.1 version of the DVD Nav software U32. I took the instructions from page 10 of this thread and was able to successfully make the Hybrid disk. I used the Loading.kwi from 5.1 as was suggested on page 15 after that. I unplugged the audio fuse for a few minutes, put it back in, and then loaded the hybrid dvd. It loaded the new disk fine. It also showed the I Accept button, which I previously did not have, so I figured I was on the right track. I tried to access the Override Menu and was successful as well. This menu was not available previously either. I have not driven the vehicle yet, but will check it out tomorrow. As a side note, my XM stations and points on the GPS were all saved :) There are several other settings on the new service menu that I have not seen either. They show stuff like Time Setting, Software version, and the like. Does anyone understand what all of these are for? What all features does this unlock? From what I understand, I can change bluetooth profiles and POI settings while moving, but I also read something about audio settings. Not sure what that is about. I will get back here tomorrow with results.

Thanks for the help, Brian

Hi, do you mean that everytime you start the highlander you have to hit 'I Agree' before reaching the standard navi menu or is there some long complicated button presses?

thanks

Wow, can you PM me or respond with some details? Last time I inquired with them they told me no Lockpick for Camry's.....did you simply buy the Prius 3+?

I just got this response from them today...

My email:
Will the lockpick work on the Gen. 6 Camry (2007+) navigation? If so, what things will it unlock such as removing the "I Agree" and in motion lock outs on functionality. Also, how about iPod connectivity and will that work if you have a Sat Radio tuner.

Their response

There are no available lockpicks for the Toyota Camry currently. Check back in the future because were always developing lockpicks. Thank you for your interest and have a great day.

For a 2008 Highlander hybrid, is there a 5.1 loading.kwi file that includes the trip information screens (Hybrid energy/consuption screens). I have made a disc that does not include these screens, but would like to have them if possible.

The discs are identical, it's the units that are different to display the energy screens.

Later!

If you use the Camry navigation without any overrides, I know you can't use the touchscreen, but can't you use voice commands?

Can someone explain everything navigation-related that can be done via voice commands while you're driving down the highway?

Can you find a Starbucks or ATM machine, gas station, saved contact in your address book or back home etc. without needing to pull over and fiddle with the touch screen?

Are there any online navigation video demos? I only see a bluetooth demo on the Toyota web site.

Also, does the navigation read the street names out loud when it gives you directions?

The vocal commands can be seen 2 ways. 1. The back page of your nav quick ref guide
2. By pressing the talking head on steering wheel and saying "Help" And yes you find gas stations and other POI with voice commands. Hope that helps.

I don't have a manual since I haven't purchased the car. I want to find out all about it before I decide whether to get navigation. I don't want to be disappointed to find out it doesn't do what I expected or needed it to do after it's too late.
I'd rather use the built-in voice commands if the voice commands are really adequate to get you where you need to go. Can you enter a full address by voice such as "1234 Main Street, Chicago" or call up addresses by voice you had saved earlier while the car is in motion?

No. What little I experimented with the voice commands it's VERY time consuming and VERY frustrating. For starters logical commands either don't exist or you get stupid replies about your command not being available in that menu or screen. WTF? Isn't the point of voice commands to tell you what to do w/o taking my eyes off of the road regardless of what screen it's on? Also, once I was in the proper location to give voice commands for an address for instance it was VERY cumbersome and incredibly frustrating. It prompts you twice for everything and you have to hit the button between each step of the address and wait for her to repeat what you're doing next twice at each step. Hard to describe but if you tried it yourself you would understand what I'm complaining about. Just go test drive one and use the voice commands and try to get a destination entered before you actually get there.

It could also be operator error and perhaps there's an easier way to go about it but I gave up after only a handful of attempts for various options and now that I have a v7.1 disc w/the v5.1 lock out override I could care less about voice commands because my nav system now does whatever I want it to whenever I want it to do it and not when it feels like doing it. After all, I'm the one that spent a few thou for this convenience, right?

I've had my car for two years and I didn't first use voice input for the navigation until about a month ago. I must say it has worked fine for me. Working with vocal recognition applications in the past, I know to speak a little louder and to somewhat over pronunciate. The only issue is it gets the road name wrong on longer less common road names about 10%-20% of the time. Not too bad in my book for a commercial/consumer application.

Like I said, mine might be purely operator error but it was very frustrating and I'm not new to technology in the least. I think my lady inside my nav unit hates me. I curse at her & she activates various POIs at random. :clap:

I would need to study the commands in advance and memorize which commands are supposed to work with which screens, so I don't waste time fumbling around with it on a 10 minute test drive.

Is there a PDF manual I can download so I know how to use it before I arrive at the dealership? I have found salesmen to not know much about things like this so I can't rely on the salesman giving me a meaningful demo of the nav.

I can only find some instructions for the Lexus nav that might not be the same:

http://www.lexus.com/lexus-share/demos/RX/assets/interior/DVDNav_Gen5_RX/Lexus_nav.html

Do they give you a DVD video tutorial for the nav when you buy the car?

I agree with the OP...got to know first what to do when you take a 10min test drive to test the voice feaures, i.e. be well prepared. I tried to get started using the voice feature for 10minutes and gave up. Mostly because I need to study the manual before I get started, which bothers me a bit as I don't want to remember all the screens and available commands...it should be but is certainly not self explanatory/easy. But again, some learning will fix that and I have tested other OEM nav systems, which are similar.

Until today, I still did not manage very simple voice functions....even after memorizing a few commands...the voice recognition can not deal with my accent (yes, I tried to speak as clear and clean as possible - now you can make your jokes :-))

You're saying that you can't get a v7.1 hybrid map disc w/the v5.1 loading menu to override the factory lockout? That's not true, lots of people are using them just fine. I guess maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to say?

You missed the GEN 4 part. My system is Gen 4. Hack worked for v5.1 & v6.1 but not v7.1. I read where it works for Gen 3 & Gen 5 (current system)

If you got Hack to work with with v7.1 for Gen 4, please let me know.

Yes this is a true statement. The generation 4 dvd has an extra file on version 7.1 that is called in the loading.kwi file. If you make a hybrid disc the same way as in this post, the disc will read fine, but as soon as you try to put in a destination, the map of the US will disappear and you can't input any destinations.

The hybrid disc works for the generation 5.

I followed the directions in the previous post, but having some trouble.

When I put my hybrid dvd disk in after having the battery disconnected it gets stuck on the loading maps screen for over 30 minutes.

When I put the original dvd back in it loads the map in a minute or two.

I then tried putting in my hybrid dvd without disconnecting the battery and everything works fine, but the overriding function does not work.

any help??

You could do what I've just done ..... I was having trouble burning this DVD despite the brilliant instructions.

So after a bit more research I have simply put a switch into the speedo pulse wire before it goes into the back of the satnav mfd unit.
Turn the switch off and it fools the unit into thinking the car has stopped. Switch it back on after your passenger has input your new destination and after about 20 seconds the unit works out where you are.

Brilliant, simple and very cheap. The wire in my unit was purple and silver. It's a B9000, TNS600.

I just went through the update map database with hack process and had a couple of comments that might help...

You can download a disc image with 7.1 that already contains the override hack from BitTorrent using a filename called lexnav.uif. There were no notes on the download page about the hack but I just tried it and the override works so the hack must be built into the image.

Convert the uif to iso using a free utility called uif2iso . The IsoMagic and PowerMagic tools freeze up at 42% conversion and hangs unless you get the paid versions of the tools. I now know why people use this pain in the but uif format. The uncompressed iso file is 7.71 GB (8,287,420,416 bytes) while the uif file is only 3.28 GB (3,530,502,144 bytes). I thought about compressing the file using a standard self unpacking unzip but it could not handle iso files that large.

Burn the iso image to a double layer DVD using the free ImgBurn tool. I tried using my Sonic tool that came with my PC but that failed and produced one $5 coaster. ImgBurn worked fine twice for me.

Make sure your DVD burner supports DL disks. I lucked out and my HP Media Center PC already had it. I used a 3-pack of memorex +R DL disks from Stables for $15.

I was loading the disks into a 2004 Sienna and a 2005 Avalon. I was never really sure what Generation Nav System they were. My Sienna has a touch screen JBL audio system but it looked different than many of the touch screens I see. My Avalon has a flip-down panel with joy-stick control. Both had original versions of the database.

I just started the cars. Ejected the disks (Avalon in the trunk left side and Sienna under passenger seat). The Nav systems displayed a "No Disk Installed" message or something like that. I waited a minute or so and installed the new disks. The Nav System went into a 'Loading' state and came back just fine. No need for me to pull fuses or disconnect the battery. Not sure why others say it is necessary. Maybe I am missing something but I know the hack now works and the maps include new streets not in existence on my older maps.

The override hacks work as well. With the Avalon joystick go to the DVD Info screen and press up, down, up, down, left, right. With the Sienna touchscreen go to the DVD Info screen and press upper left, lower left, upper left, lower left, lower right (some touchscreen models talk about going to the volume screen and hitting the speaker but mine does no have the speaker on the screen). Press and hold the override button...

SUCCESS!! Thanks to the forums!

p.s. If anyone is good at Torrent and can show me how, I can rename the file and comments to include clarity that the hack is included. I wanted to attach a 100kb jpeg picture of the torrent screen but can't seem to attach files.

06-07-2008, 06:19 PM

Ah, never mind. The disks seemed to work fine but after a day or so I found a lot of problems. When entering destinations sometimes they would go to the dirty DVD screen and require a restart. Other times it would just kick out of the keyboard screen and go back to the main screen. I don't know if the image I used is incompatable in some ways with my nav systems or if there are some other corruptions. It will be cheaper to go buy two more nav units than to buy two update disks from Toyota!

fishingham

06-21-2008, 08:31 PM

Being a 2007 Camry it should be a Gen 5 NAV system, like my wife's 2007 Camry and my 2007 Tundra. If it won't read the disc upon power up after power interruption like you have done, and you are sure it is a Gen 5 7.1/5.1 hybrid, then likely something failed in the disc creation. I have a 7.1/5.1 in both vehicles above, and it does work.

Used steps on page 10 of this thread for my 2008 Highlander Hybrid. I did have some issues with the burn speed, make a few coasters. I had to burn the disk at 2.4x otherwise it would fail, probably due to my old DVD burner. I used Memorx DVD DL disks. Also make sure to check "include hidden files" checkbox in the IMGBurn software when making the disk. To load the disk I just popped the fuse for the Audio System in the fuse box under the hood for about a minute then put it back in and then loaded the new DVD.

I noticed that the "Trip Information" hybrid screen is gone once the override disk loads. Anyone know how to get the "Trip Information" button back or is there a override 7.1 Loading.kwi file out there that works with a Highlander Hybrid?

OK.. I found my original file and i put it up on 4shared.com since none of the other links work properly.

here's the link :)

http://www.4shared.com/file/36986917/61f6a14/LOADING.html

The download password is camryrocks :rockon:
Could someone please repost this LOADING.KWI file from version 5.1, it was originally posted by cyborg on Page 15. I believe this is the file I need for my '08 RX350, with navigation disk U2 466210-0971. I've tried another file that was posted earlier, but ended up with an 'Invalid disk' message.

TIA - aridan.

P.S. NM, thanks to a fellow TN member I found a torrent that has 5.1 .kwi included in a 7.1 image. I compared this to the contents of my DVD, and loading.kwi is the only file that's different. I'll give this a try this weekend.

Hmmm, well I'm coming into this thread a little late... I just bought an 09 Camry SE w/ nav last night and am wondering what I can do to override the system to work while moving without having any issues... If someone who has been keeping up in here can please send me in the right direction, that would be greatly appreciated... Thanks

-Milon
The first post. It has all the information on how to burn an override disc including files or where to find them. I tried it but got an error and it wouldnt burn (probably has to do with my burner being not compatible - no way to know unless you try it).

I contacted a member (Mermejo). He was nice enough to burn me a couple. All I did was provide him a blank DL disc and sent a prepaid envelope. Didnt cost him any..only his time. It only costed me a couple of coasters from when I tried to to it myself, a couple blank ones to send to him and paying for shipping both ways.

If anyone charges for a disc, its a rip off. I believe selling it is also illegal (discussed in one of the override threads). If its like $10 I dont mind since its covering cost of disc, shipping, gas and your time but anything more than $10 is a rip off.

Ok - to answer my own question - works fine on an 08 Plat Sequoia. I pulled the battery and upon reload it worked.

Question - Only disadvantage I see so far is that it asks me to agree to the NAV safety thing every time I start the vehicle - I have to hit AGREE and OK.... I just got the Sequoia yesterday so but I don't recall having to ACKNOWLEDGE the NAV upon startup pre the 5.1 Hack.

The AGREE was not on 7.1 disc. Since you're applying 5.1 file to it, it takes some of the features from it. Another thing to remember is that if you're doing to override, every time you shut off your car and turn it on, you have to do the override sequence.

I think when I had the 7.1 factory disc, when I drove at night and turned the headlights on, the map was white. Now, with the 5.1/7.1 hybrid disc, when I turn on headlights, the map turns black. In daylight, the map is white. Or, I wasnt really paying attention to the screen when I was using 7.1..LOL

The Agree is a PITA -but not being able to input the NAV system while driving is more of a a PITA so I'll stick with 5.1.

I have been reading all the massages about how to create a hybrid disk and decided to do one my self. I downloaded the file "loading.kwi" and using nero 7 went through about 10 disks trying all different options no luck.
Then I noticed that my laptop has another dvd burning software called sonic so I decided to try it with default settings and it worked from first try I had to disconnect the negative terminal from the battery to make it work. Hope this helps

I just copied the files to hard drive, switched the loading.kwi file, put in a memorex DL DVD from Staples, and then went to my folder with all the files, Edit/Select ALL, then File/Burn files to Disc.

I put into my Camry, disconnected negative battery wire (easier than disconnecting at terminal), started again everything again and found the override by using the Menu/Volume steps (upper left (speaker)/lower left, upper left/lower left).

Thanks.

The DVD was an 8X, 8.5G recordable Memorex DVD, burned at 2.4X. On my Mac, I didn't change any settings from the default burn (I wouldn't even know how!) It only took a few minutes for the Nav system to load once the battery was re-connected. Actually burning to the disk took a while, I think less than an hour, but I left my computer while it was burning, so I'm not sure exactly how it took.

I have a Mac too and am encouraged to hear you got it to work. Did you do a disk copy? Because when I make a disk by simply putting the files in a burn folder and putting that on a disk, it didn't work. Did you make a DVD file first?

I did not, I copied everything to my hard drive to a folder I named Hybrid files(drag and drop) then switched the .kwi file. I then opened the folder, selected all (edit/select all) then went to File/Burn to Disk on the menu bar. Then hit the default settings and it worked!

i burned the disc overnight and put it in today. works great! i should have figured that apple would have made the process easy. no trying different media, different software, and different dvd burners until you find the combination that works for you. simply "select all" and "burn files to disc" right from the finder. no need for special disc burning software because it's all in the mac os. i hate microsoft!:preach: thanks so much.:thankyou:

I just burned a new DVD for my NAV replacing the v06.1 LOADING file with the v05.1 LOADING file. DVD seems to work fine except the system must still be running the v06.1 firmware because I can't get to the service menu. I went to disconnect the negative battery terminal when I realized this is a Hybrid (07 Camry)! Cables are label Danger, high voltage, do not touch. Anyone got any ideas how to force the firmware reload from the new DVD?

the 12vdc battery is in the trunk. there is also a 15 amp fuse under the hood by the windshield on the drivers side (look under the fuse panel cover for the exact location) labeled radio.

Helonoise

12-18-2008, 10:25 PM

Thanks for the tip. I pulled the radio fuse and it worked great. The system loaded the new firmware in about 30 seconds and the Service Menu came right up on command. I was a bit disappointed to learn that the speed lockout override was only temporary, and I have to repeat the override procedure after turning the car off, but at least I now have a method to access all the NAV features without stopping the car.

RhoXS

01-04-2009, 11:49 AM

Although this forum is primarily for Camrys/Solaras, I am hoping to get some fresh ideas about solving a problem making a hybrid 5.1/7/1 DVD for our new RX350.

A few weeks ago, we purchased a new 2009 RX350 (August production date) with navigation. It came with a 7.1 OEM DVD but the dealer has agreed to update it to 8.1. I expect to have the new disk in a week or two.

I have been trying to make a 5.1/7.1 hybrid DVD. I am usually successful at this type of thing but, in spite of much effort, I have had no success. The following items describe the results of my efforts.

-I can burn a clone of the OEM DVD that works and loads perfectly. Also, the system is able to utilize the map and POI data on the 5.1/7.1 hybrids without any apparent issue if the hybrids are inserted without resetting the system by pulling the appropriate fuse. This makes me believe the burns are good burns.

-Prior to inserting a Hybrid DVD, I reset the system by pulling the "Radio 1" fuse in the engine compartment for a short time. Alternately, I disconnected the battery for about 5 minutes but the results were the same (except I then lost the seat etc. memories). The system does retain custom POI data, even when the battery was disconnected, so it is not being completely reset.

-When the OEM disk (or a clone of it) is installed, after a reset, a message in both English and Japanese is displayed for just a few seconds about not being able to read a program file and notifying the dealer. The DVD loading screen then appears and all is well. When the hybrid DVD is installed, after a reset, the Eng/Jap message simply remains on the screen.

-The loading.kwi file I am using was verified to be from a Generation 5 OEM DVD but I cannot verify this by inspecting the file itself. I have been told the loading.kwi is different for each generation system but they are all the same size so it is impossible to tell which versions I have just from the files themselves. I also downloaded the one available earlier in this message thread but the results are the same.

Since the map and POI data on the hybrid DVDs can be consistently read by the system without a problem, I do not believe this is a burning issue. My only theory at this time is I am not using the correct loading.kwi file but some of the ones I downloaded supposedly have been used successfully.

At this point I am out of ideas about how to make a hybrid DVD but our frustration level with the passenger (my wife) not being able to use the intentionally crippled system while driving is rising exponentially. Any new suggestions would certainly be appreciated.

Thanks for the quick response. I just checked the window sticker and it clearly specifies generation 5.

I would like to try another file. Do you you know if the generation 5, 5.1 version, is the same for all vehicles or is it different for say a Solara and an RX350?

Thanks again.

I burned a new hybrid using the new 5.1 loading.kwi. I used ImgBurn "Write files/folders to disc". Same issue. The system could read the map and POI data without apparent issue. However, it would not load if I reset the system by pulling the appropriate fuse.

I then did the same thing but used the 7.1 loading.kwi. It worked perfectly. This strongly implies the system does not like the replacement loading.kwi file.

I sure wish there was some way of determining which vehicle, version, and generation the loading.kwi file is intended for by using a hex editor to exam it.
so you had no problem logging in? i'm using that exact same file on my gen 5 nav in my 07 tch and it loaded just fine. i attempted to burn the dvd several time too before i finally had a working hybrid dvd. it seems to be a process of trial and error more than anything else. people have mentioned that they bought several different dvd burners, and different dvd media, and the stars have to be aligned just right or it won't work. good luck!

I bought a pre-owned '08 Sequoia Limited in Feb '09 and quickly learned the shortcomings of the Nav system.

I successfully created a 7.1 / 5.1 and installed it without incident. The override worked well BUT the pesky "I Agree" screen (from 5.1) drove me nuts. I've reverted back to my OEM 7.1!

I'll look for another solution.

Being that this thread concerns using the 5.1 loading.kwi file many of us may have never experienced any new features.

I believe on a lexus forum that someone posted a list of the new features. You may have success there.

Thanks to everyone who has posted advice about this. It worked for me on a 2009 Highlander Limited (non-hybrid version)! As a recap:

1) Ejected map DVD
2) Copied all files to a folder on desktop
3) Overrode Loading.kwi file with replacement posted above in the thread
4) Used ImgBurn to burn to a Verbatim brand DVD+R DL
5) Pulled audio fuse from fusebox under the hood (fuse #26)
6) Waited a few minutes then started up
7) System says briefly there is no map DVD, then sees the map DVD and says something about "system loading do not power off"
8) Unlike new factory setup, now requests "I agree" at every startup
9) Hidden service menu is now accessible as described above

Thanks again!

But every time i use a hybrid disc i keep getting a weird problem. i will input my new destination and the Navi finds it and gives my my route once i start heading on my way the system will stop showing me a map and than it start to say "Checking DVD Map" or something along those lines. Other times when i get in and start the car i will notice that i can not input any new destination and the map image in not there.

I have a working copy of the Gen 5 (v5.1/v8.1) map disc but I need one for my buddies Gen 4. Does anyone have this same v8.1 (but in the 4.2/8.1 version) override map disc for the Gen 4 units?

I have the GEN 4 v8.1.
I was unsuccessful, and based on others, to create a 'hybrid GEN4 with v8.1.

I believe it is "NOT" doable.

My two cents....

'Others' also said it couldn't be done with the v8.1 disc at first too but I was able to do that. Do you have Gen 4 for the v7.1 maps?

Nope, sold the disc on ebay.

Try TDK

Burn Slower

Make sure setting is Book Type DVD-ROM

I am sure you know all these, but maybe others don't

My two cents...

Thanks for the help. I was able to make one and so far it has worked great. Only thing i did different was burn slower and that must of done the trick.

For those looking to gain address and phone use while driving, AND video while driving from the Rear Seat DVD on the Nav Screen, there is a device you can buy for the 2008 Highlander, a little pricey (250) but it has buttons for enabling and disabling the features so you can hit the button, enter everything, hit the button again to renable gps ((since it tricks the GPS into thinking you are sitting still and have ebrake on)).

I just ordered it and will be installing it soon and post a review if anyone is interested....

its a lot like the Lockpick... except the Lockpick currently doesnt work for 2008 or newer vehicles... If I could buy a Lockpick for my gen vehicle... I would... as it is cheaper, and did the same thing on the older models...

Got my 5.1/8.1 Override DVD to work on the first try. Now if only I could figure a way to program the 8.1 Loading.KWI.
I hate the I Agree button...

The I agree button sucks... Just get an override kit, and you can click a button and work your magic, click again and change it back...

I downloaded a hex editor and attempted to see the differences so I could "edit" the file

OH Boy, a million lines of code and more , Boy did I have delusions of grandeur.

I assumed it was as easy as repairing firmware in cellphones, errr wrong again.

If our NAV was as popular as Motorola cellphones then a million subscribers would have figured this out by now.

Too bad Toyota feels they need to be "overprotective" :headbang:

Hey everyone! First time poster here.

I'm going to load this in my 2006 IS 350 today or tomorrow and what I'm wondering is, does anyone know what firmware version the above file is? I'm wondering if it is 1600. My current firmware version is 1540, and I have been having problems with the GPS fix, so I'm hoping that this file will include that. I have read online that the fix comes with the 1600 firmware but I'm not sure, can anyone clarify this for me?

Thanks!! This site is great and the members that contribute here all deserve a big pat on the back from users like me. :)

Just to let you know, this worked on my 08 Sequoia. It came with the v7 disk. I was able to create the hybrid disk on the first try using my HP DVD drive and memorex disks. It is finally nice to be able to bypass like the old days. Although I am forced to push that damn I AGREE button now :D

Thanks for this post!

Hey Rookie..The disc is a v5.1 loader with v8.1 data. Of course it will work in any GEN 5 Navigation :headbang: but why would you attempt it when you have the latest version factory installed?

Please read this thread, in its entirety.

If you don't you won't know how to load it in your '09. :rolleyes:

I didn't have the NAV installed. Upgraded y'day getting one from eBay...The ebay guy didn't include the DVD :-). Now the nav says "Insert Map DVD"..No buttons work except the load/eject.

Yeah and they will continue to not work until you get a NAV DVD. Did you check ebay for a disk?

Guys...Finally my NAV is up and running with the 5.1 KWI and 8.1 Map. Everything from downloading to burning went fine as per the instructions. Thanks all for the info.

Since I have not tried the 8.1 Firmware-KWI, is it better than the 5.1 firmware (in look feel and feature wise). I know the override is not available. But if I wish to live w/o the override, is 8.1 firmware worth using ?

I just ImgBurn'd a 5.1/8.1 hybrid disc using Verbatim 2.4X DVD+R DL media. It burned just fine, though I haven't had the chance to try it out yet, will in the morning.

However, in reviewing all the info that I could find in this thread, everything points to the hybrid should be about 8GB in size, whereas my hybrid is about 4.47GB in size (using drag & dropped files). The file system on the hybrid disc was recorded as BOTH ISO9660 and UDF 1.02. The total files on the original 8.1 disc were about 4.3GB, but an ISO image of the original 8.1 disc I created on the hard drive was about 8.2GB. The Loading.kwi 5.1 file on my hybrid was 48MB. Needless to say, I used just the drag & dropped 8.1 files (without the 8.1 Loading.kwi file), but including the 5.1 .kwi file. (In fact, ImgBurn even said that I didn't have to use a Double Layer disc as a standard NON DL disc would be fine. But I did use the DL disc anyway).

So my questions are, assuming it won't work when I try it are:

Should I have used the 8.1 IMAGE file instead, but then how would I eliminate the 8.1 .kwi file?

and

Should I have ONLY used the ISO file system, and no other?

If it works, I guess I'll have my answer, but the 8GB size concerns me.

Thanks in advance for any guidance anyone can throw my way.
