HiFiSi Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 You have to put filler data in that PICTURES folder to get the disk size over 1.8 megabytes. It can't be an audio file or an ISO or anything like that. I just used a really really big picture file to take up the filler space. 1 - Create PICTURES folder on your desktop 2 - Put the background images you want to use in that folder (15 or 16 pics max) 3 - Put a ffiller file in the folder to get it up over 1.8 megabytes. You can use a really large picture file, or maybe a word processor document or something 4 - Burn the folder to a CD. You need to use data disk mode. That's it.

clittle760 Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 I have a Titan, so thanks for the new background image. I was looking for something appropriate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scarface Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 HiFiSi I have made the backround disc and I can install onto my D3 however I can't seem to save but one picture (the last one installed). If I want a different backround Pic I have to put the disc back in and and select a different one. Is this normal or is there a way to save the 20 different backrounds?

HiFiSi Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 No, that's how it works. Any time you want to change a background you have to put the disk in. It will only hold the selected one in memory. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Too bad, because I really like it too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
