Diskimage 1.6 running on Win 7 64 bit gives an error "Error #5 occurred while writing to disk at sector 0" when writing to a USB stick in physical disk mode. Other users have reported the same issue.

It works OK on an XP machine.

(I repeat my old message)

DiskImage doesn't work correctly under Windows 7. Actually it can't write to UFD!

A possible solution to get it work was described here:

Please, Mr.Roadkil, if you are still interested in developing DiskImage, have a look on this info.

Hi Jason? err Mr Roadkill..
I definitely have the same or a similar problem with Windows 7 64 bit. In my case - I think the first time I did the Physical write to a USB SDHC adapter - I got "Error #5 occurred while writing to disk at sector 8182". Now every time I try to write the same image to the same physical USB drive - I get "Error #5 occurred while writing to disk at sector 2048"
I don't know whether this is relevant - but the partition table in teh disk image should have 2 partitions - the fiurst being small around 40 megabytes - and the second being most of a 4 gig drive. After the initial error 0 roadkill seems to see the fist partition - but doesn't mantion the second partition. I thought that was a bit strange... If it had written the partition table - I thought it would see both partitions...

I tried setting Roadkill Diskimage to Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode - but it didn't seem to help.

Thanks for a really useful product...

Some more information...
I tried the doing the same write to the same physical disk using 32 bit Windows 7 machine and it also failed in much the same way - with the slightly different message:
"Error #5 occurred while writing to disk at sector 0".
In my case the image I am trying to write was successfully "Stored" by Disk Image from a 4 Gig Linux USB drive with 2 partitions - (Using a windows machine of course). I am trying to write it to a 32 gig micro SD card in a USB reader.
