How do you burn an ISO to CDFS format?

Hello,

Google failed me again.  I cannot seem to locate information on how to take an existing ISO image and burn it to CD using the CDFS file system.  It always uses UDF and I cannot find a way around that.

The problem is, UDF formatted disks are not bootable in a Hyper-V VM.  I have tried several programs including the built-in ISO burner in Windows 7.  I also tried extracting the ISO contents and dragging it to the CD burning window in Windows 7.  They all force the CD to UDF format.

Is there anything out that can truly burn an ISO to CDFS format?  Please explain where and how.

Sounds like the source of the image file was UDF.  The .iso CD image contains both the disk data and the format structure so even though it is called .iso it doesn't mean the image contained is ISO9660.
Because the structure of the .iso file is UDF whatever burning package you use will extract it as UDF.  Go back to the source CD and image it to ISO9660
If you have the iso image, why don't you mount it using poweriso or magiciso tool and directly intall to hyperv. only thing you have to add the mounted cdrom in the hyperv as boot device.
MASQUERAID is on the right track, the files structure is defined by the creator of the image, so you can try a two step process so you should be able to create the CDFS file system.
Burn the ISO image, copy the contens to a folder, open your burning software, select the CDFS file structure burn the contens of the folder with the new CDFS structure.

Thanks everyone.  The software I used to make the ISO in the first place is Iso Recorder.  There were no options to select format, it was just tell it where to create the ISO and that was it.

I do have a copy of Nero so I will use that.
