I was, however, wanting to take it a step or two further. I would like to be able to set up an optional boot that would enter either the Windows 2000 setup or the Windows NT 4.0 setup. The first and most devastating problem is that they both want to run out of I386. I have also succesfully hacked the bootimg.bin (seems to be a popular name for the boot sector image off the the 2000 CD) to start from a, say, 4386 or 5386 folder. The boot is succesful, but the installation is very choppy because so much of the installation is hard wired to run from the I386 directory.
I have not been able to find any help on the internet concerning the bootimg.bin, the boot sector from the cd. Most all of the sites with instructions on building such a cd offer the file as a seperate download, the rest simply instruct someone to use (usually) CDRWin to rip it off of the 2000 CD. But, I can not seem to find discourse with those who may be more familiar with how this tiny little program works.
Anyone who has been inside of it would certainly recognize the \"SETUPLDR.BINBOOTFIX.BINI386\" at the end of the data section. I\'d mentioned that I was able to get it to run from \"5386\" for example by changing \"BINI386\" to \"BIN5386\". I can do this for a number of boot sectors, but would rather find a way to get it to start from w2ki386 or nt4i386.
Toward accomplishing this, I\'ve come across two stumbling blocks. First, I can not seem to get the thing to recognize more than four characters for a path, i.e., I cannot tell it to go to nt4i386. The second stopping point is that I also cannot seem to specify a path any deeper than one off of the root. Again, being limited to four characters, I tried to set up my files in a directory called simply 86 under another folder off of the root caled 4. Hacking the boot sector file with 486 instead of I386 still did not work.
Anyone have further insight into the nature of this beast?
Thank you and please also give me feedback if I have been unclear. I tend to do that from time to time. =/

You could always right your own custom boot.bin to do the trick, but a little ASM might be needed to do it small enough...

Yes it is a tricky one. I have lately be looking into something similar, but I want 98SE and Win2kSP2 on the same install bootable CD. I have not yet figured out how to load the info about multiple sector in the bootcatalog file. What you are trying to do I guess is trickier with NT4 and NT5 working of the same install folder. But there probably is a workaround it.

Only major limitation there, is win2k would only install on a fat or fat32 partition. Even though win2k can see ntfs just fine, you\'d be starting the install from DOS, which can\'t.

The El Toro menu goes like this:
A. Windows 98 Second Edition
B. Windows ME
C. Windows 2000 Adv. Server
D. Command Prompt
I followed all the instructions on that guide mentioned above and it worked perfectly. Well almost... inserting the boot images into the iso didn\'t work sometimes for no reason. After I got it to work everything was fine.
I too would like to know how to get past the dual I386 folder thing. kanyeung (from iexbeta boards) has made a dual WinXP Home/Pro CD, we should probably ask him how he did it.
Post by: Oz. on September 05, 2001, 01:18:29 AM
It\'s made up in a quite clever way.
First if you try to extrack the ISO to HDD, you will end up with 1.2GB of files.
WTF I thought, 1.2GB on a CD, once it\'s burned, it\'s only around 450MB.
It contains all 3 sets of Windows 2000, but they are in a subdirectory, not in the root.
The way they make it look like there are 1.2Gb on the CD, is that some of the big files in the 3 induvidual I386 folders are the same files repeated in 3 folders. Not quite sure yet how this is done. Say a file like driver.cab has the same sector location in all 3 folders. That saves 100MB straight away. Either a special Image master program is used, or a Hex editor, or whatever.
If someone has a place, I can post a few screenshots of the CD, will give some idea to people how it\'s made.

But it really works, turned 1.20GB files from Windows 2000 Pro/Server/Advanced Server into a multi OS ISO of less than 500MB.
A simple command line program, less than 70kb, yes 70 kb
Thanks again to David Ying for bringing this program to my attention.
It even makes a bootable ISO. basicly like the original Microsoft CD\'s, well not basicly, it is an original.
Did the Windows 2000 PRO SP2, bootable in one simple commandline, no need for CDRWin anymore.
I can put it on my webpage later on, with instructions on how to use it if anyone is interested.

.Just download the zip file, and extract the two files into their own directory. As long as you have the VB6 runtime installed (most of you already do), that\'s all you need. Run CDImage.exe, and that\'s it.

Hi tried to use the MS program with no succes. Here is the main command line I came to use:
\"cdimage 2.39\" -lW2POEM_FR -h -n -d -bC:W2KW2KBootCDi386setupldr.bin -o c:W2KW2KBootCD c:toto.iso
Because of the lack of documentation, I could not know the relevance of each argument.
Furthermore, I do not know wich .bin to use on the cd... (I tried with both setupdlr.bin and bootfix.bin, as I think bootfont.bin is not really appropriate).
Finally, I first used Nero for burning the image, but he has problem recognizing .iso and open a dialog box I do not know how to fill, then I turned to CDR win, which has no such problem. Sadly, my image still does not work...
BTW, could somebody tell me the advantages of Nero against CDRwin?
Thank you,
aardvark

c:cdimage -lW2POEM_FR -t05/15/2001,12:00:00 -g -h -n -o -bc:boot.bin c:W2KW2KBootCD c:toto.iso
You are using the wrong boot data, you have to use sector 20 from the original CD. If you dont know how to extrack it, you can download it from my page. In the above example, I have called the boot data boot.bin and it\'s in the root of the C drive. Dont include it in the root of the CD.
I got the process worked out now how the 3in1 is done, dublicated it a couple of days ago from scratch, also did a 98SE/2000 Pro bootable CD and a 2000Pro/XP Pro bootable CD.
I will post the way to do it, but it\'s a very time consuming process to explain how to do it, actually doing it when you know how, does not take to long.
What CDIMAGE can do that no other burn program can do, is as mentioned above \"Optimize\" ( -o ) files, as a file will only be recorded once, even if it appears 2-3 times on the CD, instead a \"shortcut\" will be used.

well ive tried that too...its not like im not trying..its just i dont know what the boot.image is i guess....i am doing 98se/me/2kpro/2kadvanserver...what boot image should i use...i alos have tried many other links and have found how to make a boot image from a floopy of course..but one problem...it seems i cant make a .img/.bin unless i use 9x and im now on 2k ;(.....for most i have got some progress...but lack the correct process somehow...what is that cmd line that this chinese man used that differes from the one here...it mentions something about a menu in the translation...i will post that below....can somebody please help us out here....ive tried alot of different ways its seems im now trying to do the one from http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/#multi (http://\"http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/#multi\")
anyways..here is my pitifule translation of this person\'s article from systran pro software.
(there is some non-related stuff at top of the article related to how to in linux/unix i think and then there is the instructions of the cdimage prog...after that there is this)
Certainly it not only is N which uses to be made WIN2000 gathers 1.
To all \" massive documents repetition \" situation, all may display
enormous function with it. But...... Good elephant this kind of
situation are not many...... Everybody lifts example?
Concrete procedure:
1, constructs one table of contents, regards as it light plate root
table of contents which is you must make, content which all must put
all makes, for instance, this table of contents calls c: ewin3in1,
inside separately has
C: ewin3in1pro
C: ewin3in1server
C: ewin3in1advserver
Table of contents, separately corresponds three WIN2000 edition. Now
examines table of contents attribute, should or are more in 800M,
unable puts on one piece of light plate.
2, now with CDIMAGE procedure, (you wants to produce ISO document
table of contents in another one table of contents) center moves:
Cdimage -lWin2K3IN1 -t07/30/01,00:00:00 -h -n -o -m c: ewin2k
My3IN1.ISO
Directly will move CDIMAGE demonstrates parameter explanation. Under
simply explains one commonly used parameter significance:
-l: (Is JKL L, is not IBM I) this is light plate volume sign
-t: Will possess time which document will suppose assigns, will look
very specialized
-h: Includes hideaway document
-n: Permits long document name
-o: This is most important, CDIMAGE essence is it. Automatic
judgement repetition document, only processes one time to repetition
document, and automatic revision correlation document direction.
Tacitly approves is uses document size and MD5 algorithm carries on
comparison (I also not very understands, probably is and CHECKSUM
similar concept method) from probability angle looks accuracy is quite
high, but certainly is not \" by byte contrast \". If you request by
byte contrast, with -oc parameter. But speed is extremely slow.
-m: Does not add this parameter speech, will not be able to produce
which will be bigger than 650M ISO reflection
C: ewin2k: This is light plate root table of contents. CDIMAGE
will start structure light plate table of contents structure by this
table of contents, on hard disk c: ewin2kpro will turn into light
plate x: pro
My3IN1.ISO: This is ISO document name which finally produces. It
already was after optimization.
3, finally only must record software with fever (like EASY CD CREATOR
CREATE DISK FROM IMAGE) engraves ISO light plate promptly may.
Gathered to this our N 1 completes. Certainly this piece of plate
only is simple three installments item recording and sending out in in
the same place, moreover cannot start. Compared with ideal situation
is, makes light plate forms image 2000 such automatically starts and
starts installment, more ideal situation is open machine appears menu,
may choose installs PRO/SERVER or ADVSERVER, then automatic transfer
corresponding installment procedure.
1) MD ewin2kenglishwin2000pro
server
AdvSvr
And put each version into the dir
2) copy Cdrom_ia.5, cdrom_is.5, cdrom_ip.5, cdrom_nt.5 to ewin2k
3) copy anthing else you want into the \" root \" directory--ewin2k
Make the cdimage with the command:
Cdimage -lWIN2000_EN -t06/04/00,00:00:00 -h -n -bg: boot.bin -o -m
Mainly has 2: One is puts DROM_XX.5 these documents to light packing
table of contents, lets installment procedure think this is original
negative. Time ºòÓÃ -bc which moreover needs to make one reflection
document like boot.bin which starts floppy disk then makes CDIMAGE:
boot.bin lets ISO be possible to start.
This kind of plate certainly also has shortcoming, moreover is
obvious:
1, if light plate has some place damage, just again is everybody \"
sharing \" system document, then possible 3 WIN2000 all will to
discard, unable installs. Ordinary light plate only is damages that
document respective that one edition.
2, is best must have light plate engraves record machine, this kind of
ISO ¾µÏó, with WINIMAGE solution is has significance, WINIMAGE
certainly does not understand this kind structure which fixes reforms,
it will arrive according to table of contents table all document
solution hard disk, alike document was duplicated certain. Is equal
at returns to original state before optimization condition. Likely
that EWIN 6 gathers one, unties behind good likely has about 1.9G.
But these shortcomings all are not on the other hand important.

For the other guy\'s question, you need a Win9x floppy, for now, to make a boot disk that mixes both Windows 9x and NT (for exampe, WinMe and Win2k). The Win2k bootsector is just for Win2k OS\'s. And, cdimage (far as I can tell) is used only to make WinNT type iso\'s (because you can\'t use a floppy image for the bootable bin file...you have to use the Win2k boot.bin).
I would get a WinMe startup floppy, and modify it to do what you want. There is a WinMe boot floppy image on this site, that is made to make a WinMe cd bootable. Take that, dissect it, and figure out how to have it also start your Win2k OS startup. Note, that you can write this image to a regular floppy, boot from it, and it\'ll act just like a bootable CD. So you just burn one CD with all the OS\'s just the way you want them, keep rebooting with the floppy until it\'s just right, and then burn one more CD except use the floppy to make it bootable (hope all that makes sense).

On my page you can find some info on making a normal bootable CD, as for multiboot, I\'m working on a manual that actually works. However it will take time to write it so everybody can understand what goes on.
If you want read the spec sheet for bootable CD, I have had to read it myself many times to understand what goes on.
Download it here:

Just to let you know that I along with alot of other people who may not have posted to this forum also have a need for the information that you were so kind enough to post on your site. I, being a sys admin, am always looking for ways to simplify doing a job and make life easier. When I ran into the original post regading the triple boot OS cd and your response.. I thought that finally after quite a few months of research would finally get the answer to a question that I had started awhile back but placed it on the back burner due to other pressing commitments. I am very happy to see that you have found a way to bring that long posed question to the resolution stage. And would greatly appreciate it very much if you would continue with the manual that you started on your site.
Great Job Oz.

the good news is now you really can burn all win2k versions on the same cd. just follow the guideline mentioned on Mr.Oz website (http://ozaustralia.cjb.net) and add one more commandline option to the mentioned. it is \"-bd:loader.bin\".
the original one was
\"F:cdimage -lW2KPSAS_SP2 -t05/15/2001,12:00:00 -g -h -n -o -w1 -m D:ROOT W2KPSAS_SP2.iso\"
the new one is
\"F:cdimage -lW2KPSAS_SP2 -t05/15/2001,12:00:00 -g -h -n -o -w1 -m -bd:loader.bin D:ROOT W2KPSAS_SP2.iso\"
the loader.bin, diskem1x.bin and diskemu.cmd files are required in the D:ROOT. the files can be downloaded from mr.Bart\'s website available in diskemu\'s addons.
that\'s all and you can step ahead in creating any mix-match boot images you can think of.
and do burn the cd with any cd writer which can burn iso images.
hope Oz, i have reduced your workload.
thank\'s Bart,Oz very very much.
do let me know by mail([email protected]) or postings, if things go right/wrong.
p.s.
one more thing. the Oz guides mentions about 106 files and 1 folder, infact its 104 files and 1 folder. that\'s what i found out, and its all working well.

the new command line.
\"F:cdimage -lW2KPSAS_SP2 -t05/15/2001,12:00:00 -g -h -n -o -w1 -m -bd:loader.bin D:ROOT W2KPSAS_SP2.iso\"
the command line which i mentioned above works fine. only thing you have to replace is the path to your root folder. so if your root folder is in z:, then the command line would be
\"z:cdimage -lW2KPSAS_SP2 -t05/15/2001,12:00:00 -g -h -n -o -w1 -m -bz:loader.bin z:ROOT W2KPSAS_SP2.iso\"
assuming cdimage.exe also resides in z: and not in the z:root folder.
ok, and now about the which diskemu file to be kept. use the new one from the bart\'s site. its called diskem1x.bin. bootcat.bin is also not required. so the make sure you have the following files in the root folder
ASRVSECT.DAT
CDROM_IA.5
CDROM_IP.5
CDROM_IS.5
CDROM_NT.5
CDROMSP2.TST
diskem1x.bin
diskemu.cmd
loader.bin
READ1ST.TXT
README.DOC
SPNOTES.HTM
WPROSECT.DAT
WSRVSECT.DAT
the diskemu.cmd file needs to be created with the following contents. do not use tabs, use spaces instead.
:start
cls
print Setup Menu
print ==========
print 1. Windows 2000 Professional
print 2. Windows 2000 Server Upgrade
print 3. Windows Advance Server
print Esc) Boot from hard disk...
print Enter a choice:
:mainkey
; timeout is 9 seconds, default key is escape
getkey 9 esc
onkey 1 goto pro
onkey 2 goto srv
onkey 3 goto advsrv
onkey esc boot 80
; When no key found...
goto mainkey
;
and that\'s all. ready to burn and boot. make sure to hide those bin and dat files in joliet filesystem and not in the iso filesystem or else you will get a boot failure.
p.s.
hey Oz, i have been fighting with 2 problems.
1. my slipstream does not seem to work. it asks for the sp2 cd during installation. how do i avoid that.
2. and the serial number avoiding trick failed on my machine by saying the product id key was invalid. i think its because of the eof characters. the file size of setupp.ini needs to be exactly 63 bytes even after changing the numbers. when the trick failed i tried reverting by copying the original file. lets see how i can get avoid that serial crap.
bye everybody, enjoy and have fun.

ok im going to try this again with the .cmd modified...anyways....the
-bd:loader.bin
in order for me to get it to work i got to type -bd:ROOTloader.bin
because that is where the loader.bin is....the line works but i have to change that...or do i leave the a copy of the loader.bin in the D: and D:ROOT but choose D: when making the .iso
Post by: Space Between on October 20, 2001, 12:54:16 PM
\"make sure to hide those bin and dat files in joliet filesystem and not in the iso filesystem or else you will get a boot failure.\"
ok the
ASRVSECT.DAT
CDROM_IA.5
CDROM_IP.5
CDROM_IS.5
CDROM_NT.5
CDROMSP2.TST
diskem1x.bin
diskemu.cmd
loader.bin
READ1ST.TXT
README.DOC
SPNOTES.HTM
WPROSECT.DAT
WSRVSECT.DAT
all the .dat\'s and bin\'s in this dir right (ROOT dir)....and how would i do that..i have read the arguements in cdimage and it doesnt mentioned anything on how to do what you mean...only how to burn hidden files
Post by: Lotus Nymphaea on October 20, 2001, 02:42:43 PM
its not essential to have loader.bin in your iso filesystem, but i\'m not too sure of cdimage whether it will include that image from outside. the concept is, loader.bin is what gets loaded at sector 17 of the cdrom which is the bootable sector catalog. thus inserting (and not file existence in the filesystem) loader.bin into the iso image will make the cd bootable.
ok, you seem to be having problems with the hiding of other .bin and .dat images. avoid hiding currently. create the iso image without any hide parameters and see whether the iso image is bootable or not. i have successfully installed all the three w2k versions, but that stupid sp2 cd inserting problem is still their.
let me know if you get stuck.
bye, enjoy and have fun.

slipstream is easy...u just have to download that \"network\" sp2 pack that\'s about 101mb (so u can\'t use the \"express\" one)
and u use the switch \"-x\" to extract...so run the command from the run dialog ie. C:w2ksp2.exe -x
then specify the unzip destination
after that.. u go run again...say if u extracted it to C:w2ksp2
and say if ur copied win2k cd is under C:win2k
u don\'t use the \"-s\" switch for the i386 folder like c:win2ki386
all u should do is point to that c:win2k
so...clear things up..u type command C:w2ksp2i386updateupdate.exe -s:C:win2k
and that should do the slipstream...hope it solve the problem u were having
about the cd-key problem..
i had that also...on mai professional..i think it\'s just ur version problem..since there\'re soo many versions of windows2k 4 each edition (i\'m not talkin about pro, srv, & ads) i meant like the old beta..oem..retail...and prolly some other versions out there
all i did was get another version and tried it again..and it works just fine..all u do is replace the last 3 char. in setupp.ini to \"270\"
and it should work if u get the version it\'d work on
i have no idea which version the trick would work on...but i got that trick work on all editions (pro, srv, & ads) of my win2k
/smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />btw..that nu diskemu.cmd file u told us to modified about...
i\'m gunna try that rite now

okay..i\'m bk from testing the iso w/ the modified diskemu.cmd
i\'m not sure wut u meant by hidin parameter..did u mean like just \"hide\" it from the file properties??
neway...so i didn\'t use hide parameter..burnt the cd-rw w/ cdrwin and i get into the windows setup...but it loads drivers extremely slow...and i get n \"Disk I/O error: status = 00008000\" error
so..i dunno wut\'s up w/ that??

\"Now you have to place/replace 2 files in each of those 3 folders.
Make sure you put them in the right folder, or your screwed.
ASRV Advanced Server
WPRO Pro
WSRV Server\"
Ok i have done that now....now here is what i am trying to boo
1)win2kp
2)advser
3)98se
ok when i type 1)win2kp....it says push any key to boot from cd...like it should...but instead of ntdlr data missing...it says \"ntdetect failed\"....ok but when i try for 2)advser it still says \"unable to detect ntdlr data\"...3)98se works fine...
so here is another question about what 0z typed in the step i forgot... he mentions to \"place/replace\"...i dont understand really..i placed those files in those dir\'s...i didnt have to replace anything....should i of replaced something????i just extracted them in there..

When all done, you should have 105 files in root of folder, and 1 folder with another 2 files in it.
what???? i extracted all files from the 2k\'s into the ROOTUENGLISHADV_SRV and WPRO. they have all kinds of files and folders in them...all kinds....and my folders outside of the UENGLISH dir are ASRV, WPRO, and WIN98SE....the win2k\'s have 9 files in each....that is it...where the heck am i missing 96 files and a folder at????i have replaced the setupldr.bin and the txtsetup.sif files in both the i386 folder of the 2k\'s and also placed the files in the asrv and wpro folders in the ROOT directory....ive also have copied over the BOOTFIX.BIN from both of the i386 folders to the D:ROOTASRV and WPRO...i didnt slipstream because i have done that before...Ok i just read the page again for about the 80th time as i was typing here....i still dont see it...I FEEL SOOOOOOOOOOOOO STUPID....I MEAN REALLY BECAUSE IM THE ONLY ONE THAT DOESNT GET IT.

Flames, I had the same problem in the cmd. You probably made the cmd file the same way I did (copied and pasted from the browser). Well, edit the cmd file in a text editor (notepad will do nicely) and remove all trailing spaces from all lines in the file. It will be ok then.
Hope it helps.
Now, my problem. I booted the cd okay, lauched adv server setup, it copied files to the hd and then rebooted the computer. Now it ask me for sp2 cd or a location for \"nt5inf.cat\" file. I checked the cd and it is not there. I checked the expanded dir of sp2 and it is not there. I tried the slipstreaming process 1 more time, burnt a cd, but still the same error. Is anybody else getting the same error (is this what you get also Lotus N.)?

win2k uses NTFS file system
u can c all ur harddrive partitions and files under win2k
but if u don\'t have any FAT16 or FAT32 partition in ur harddrive..
the windows 95/98/ME editions r not gunna c u have a harddrive at all..
that\'s prolly y it just assigned ur cdrom to first available drive letter since it doesn\'t c any partition at all that\'s FAT16 or FAT32

I just accessed the site and it seems that the 3in1 page is not there anymore. I hope Oz is updating it and that is why he pulled it from there.
I still havent been able to get the slipstreamed cd to install. It keeps on asking for sp2 cd.

/smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />Seriously, I put the link thru the web translator at altavista and it does enough so that you can follow along.
Now, has anyone been able to install win2k adv srv from the 3in1 cd (as described by Oz and LotusNymphea) (with sp2 slipstreamed)? I dont think that this is the way to make a proper 3in1 cd. At least, it doesnt work for me.
If I burn the cd without slipstreaming sp2, it asks for sp2 cd (if I have copied setupldr.bin txt*.sif to root/asrv etc dirs) right after running the image or it says ntdetect failed (if i have copied only txt*.sif). As I posted before, if I have slipstreamed sp2, then the files are copied and after the system boots and launches the win2k gui, it again asks for sp2 cd.
Thanks.

windows 98 setup
scanning registery...
copying files to prepare setup
it says that but then the cd stops spinning and that screen is just frooze there... i copied over the files from the cd to my hdd and ran setup there but it said it was uncompatible with the ntfs partition and terminated install...which i know it is but it wasnt a ntfs partition i copied them too and ran setup...about those .dat files OZ has made....how do i make one of those...those seem to be the files that manipulate the install into working right from the extracted floopy images...i put some effort into.(atleast for me ;P)..anyways..
PLEASE HELP ...I really want to get win98 and winme on the same cd and to work properly and have the whole thing over...i have never ever installed win9x so i am not too sure what is going right and what is going wrong..besides it is just not working...here is how i edited my diskemu.cmd down below...it seems to work right?¿i guess...but as of now i am using a .img to run win9x setup..

print Why a Todo List you might be wondering...well probably not but im gonna tell

print can use is a 80min cd. As you all know these are becoming obsolete. With
print 99min cd\'s and even better the double data cd\'s right around the corner,
print there will have to be alot of new cdrom\'s being made. As most of you probably
print know the standard cdrom will only read 99 minutes...so with double data cd\'s
print coming out VERY soon new cdrom\'s will be made. With that change comes time
print parallel with dvdr\'s already here...just not affordable
/sad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':(\' />. So i am currentlyprint searching for a 99 minute cdr-w to purchase (double data i wont use unless
print they are considerably cheaper than dvdr\'s and only a pinch higher than a 99
print minute cdr). When i get my hands on a 99min cdr-w i will do another LuciusxoOS
print cd but with nothing ript out at all of win2k\'s and with WinXP Pro and XP
print Advanced Server. That will cover any OS that Microsoft has that is worth doing
print at all (although i could do that OS cd now but not without drastically ripping
print out data). Even after you wind up learning how to do this kind of cd yourself,
print which will be soon thanks to the links i have given, this cd will be long
print forgotten about. Things coming up around the corner for data-back are going to
print only get bigger and better. It\'s going to be exciting to see how all these new
print memory storage disc\'s is going to affect us by having access to it freely. For
print years now dvd\'s have only been in the hands of the MPAA (who which is by the

print right back out on the forum\'s beating users for information ;P.
print Also...unless you have a fat16/32 partition on your hdd that is functional

print first, or else it will recongize the cdrom drive as c:. Trust me, to show you

print beat the boards again and someone responded to me informing me of this ;P.
print Although I have read a article on how to go about doing it with some text

I have just about given up on making a bootable 3in1 cd. I have wasted a lot of time on this and still no success. So I will go back to installing it 1-ver-1-cd way.
Hope this helps.
Post by: Space Between on November 04, 2001, 04:16:44 PM
Anyways why you giving up..???is the only error you are having the advanced server sp2 error???or is there something else...right now like i said i have win2kp/aserv and win98/me on the same cd...both the 2k\'s install without a problem..only the win98se/me is giving me crap...you know you could just keep the 3in1 cd...install win2kserver or pro...then upgrade to advn serv....right???as a matter a fact could you do it all unattended....just have it run the cmd right after the first bootup to upgrade to advan server...i know it would take longer but hey only a few minutes longer...btw does putting the winnt.sif file in the i386 dir really work for unattend install??i mean it couldnt work for the fully unattended because wouldnt it have to be in the a: dir for that right ???im going to try it i guess and see how it goes...this damn win98se/me crap is bogus though...so bogus

As far as 3in1 is concerned, I think I will just try to install win2k without slipstreaming it first and then worry about slipstreaming later.
The link on making the 3in1 cd on wwwfox site is http://www.wwwfox.net/cgi-bin/topic.cgi?forum=2&topic=1160 (http://\"http://www.wwwfox.net/cgi-bin/topic.cgi?forum=2&topic=1160\")

A big hand to wwwfox for providing a link to his site.
A big (bigger) hand to Oz for providing the site (that was). It was wonderfully detailed. Too bad he had to close it down because he was flamed by nasty emails about the delay in posting the 2nd part of making the iso bootable.
P.S. I think the link to the actual page is http://wwwfox.net/3in1.htm (http://\"http://wwwfox.net/3in1.htm\")

1. How do I go about hiding the .bin and .dat files for this iso?
2. What file or files am I missiong that would cause me to get the \"NTDETECT failed\" message for this 3in1 iso?
Thanks

People need to understand sites like this are not for-profit. Now, if people were paying Oz to make that how-to and he was lagging behind...yeah they could chew his ass a little. But if they are paying $0 for his hard work...they don\'t have any reason to complain. Make suggestions, maybe. But definitely not flaming.
Just hope it wasn\'t anyone from here. I wish he would have registered here so I could email him to apologize in case it was. In either case we\'re sorry Oz, and hope everything\'s ok.

1) ntdetect failed ...
If you are getting this, then you dont have the correct setupldr.bin in the root asrv, wpro and wsrv dirs. Follow oz/wwwfox instructions.
2) insert sp2 cd-rom ....
Now this was interesting. Did some search on the ms site and came across a kb article that mentioned it (they describe it as the setup process loosing the cd-rom drive letter). Now the circumstances are different in the kb article, but it got me thinking. I have an ide cdrom and a scsi cdwriter. I was booting off the ide cdrom, so maybe the scsi cdwriter was confusing the brain dead win2k setup. So I removed the writer from the scsi chain and relaunched setup. VOILA, no problems.
Time to create my own 10in1 cd
/smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />Space, how is win98 setup going? If you want, I can send you the boot sector off my win98se cd.
Sic1Nine, you can hide files by ticking off the hidden checkbox from the file\'s properties sheet (on the context menu).

If you got BSOD, then it is probably because setupldr.bin is corrupted. Use a binary editor to carry out the edits in this one.

It\'s really good to see you respect my copyright on the page, also at the very top I have written,
\"However this manual still works 100% OK, one more thing, don\'t steal this manual, it has taken a long time to make!\"
Very nice indeed.
As for the second part of the manual, it was actually written and ready to opload when the abusive emails arrived, so no way I\'ll EVER up it, ESPECIALLY when someone like you steal my work.

Kfh...no luck on the win98se install yet...im not too sure on what yoiu meant by editing the autoexact.bat file. I do that already on win2k but not during installation. Would i make it like this??
[autoexec.bat]
copy W:win98 X:win98
run x:win98setup /is
???or something like that??? will this pause and wait for the copying to complete?? Only problem is i cant control what drive letter the cdrom takes on can i?? currently since i have no dos/fat partition it takes on the role of C:...you did mention something about making sure it takes on a drive letter but can i control which lettter???? also what is a good binary code editor??? I dont know much about programming besides names... is VB6, C++, Java a good one???
Post by: The_Flames on November 06, 2001, 08:26:14 PM
IF you realy want me to remove the page from my site I will !!!
I didnt want to offend you, I just saw you site removed and other people asking about the information, and I thaught there wouldnt be any harm in sharing the information, If you had registered your handle on the forums I would of mail you first to asked if you objected!
If I were gonna steel the information I would of clamed it as my own, removed any trace of your involment. Insted It was a update of the links( fixed links are not the best way to work from by the way) and added a few links. If you plan to restart your forum, or site, I would add links to them!
PS the information has only been up about 4 hrs !!!
Post by: jojitb on November 06, 2001, 09:00:22 PM
I would like to thank you for creating a great how-to. I\'m just a lttle sad that you took it down just because of some assholes who do not appreciate your work.
I understand that you have the right to post or not to post your work but for people like us who want to, how can we learn if people do not give information freely? I really thank The_Flames for posting it again for us who were too late to get it from your site. I know that if you ever decide to put it up again, he would gladly remove it from his site...
Also, if you do not care to post the 2nd part, could you find it in your heart to give me a copy? i will not post it to the web, nor will I send it to anybody else, unless you ask me...

For all those who want to make this cd bootable, there is another way to make it so. Read LotusNymphea\'s post in this thread. It is extermely easy and you dont need to edit any binary files. If you want more info, just search for \"bootable cd\" on google and you will be amazed by all the links returned.
Space, I dont think you have to copy all win98 install files to the hd before installing; it can install from cd just fine (but a little slower). You would need something like this in autoexec.bat:
cd win98set
setup
The above assumes that the install files are in the win98set dir. You probably dont need the cd drive letter because the win98 boot image should leave you in the root dir of the cd.
I use ultraedit (also recommended by Oz) as the binary editor.
Good luck.
Post by: Josetann on November 07, 2001, 02:28:40 AM
That said, I would like it if he let it stay up somewhere, with all the recognition but none of the grief. What I would also like would be to take all this info we have from all these separate places and make some of our own how-to\'s. Perhaps one just for a multi-boot Windows CD (we could provide all the files we could to make the CD work in different configurations, i.e. three Win2k installs, and Win98...three Win2k\'s and WinMe, one Win2k and one Win98...you get the picture). And also a how-to on doing this yourself, complete with screenshots, links to programs needed, etc.
Post by: Kfh on November 07, 2001, 05:06:19 AM
I think I have figured out the 2nd part of Oz\'s way, but I think that the other way (by LotusNymphea) is much better and definitely much simpler. Again, this is not to detract anything from Oz\'s efforts (after all, the \"other way\" picks up where Oz\'s 1st part ends). In all my searching on the web, I have not come across such detailed and clearer instructions as those contained in Oz\'s way. By the way, those who explored Oz\'s web site would definitely miss those other areas as well. Perhaps we can all somehow convince Oz to re-up his site.
Oz, I have visited your forum also, and you complained that only 2 people are interested in 3in1 cd. I think that this thread here is ample proof that a lot more people than that are interested in it and most of them are perfectly reasonable. In this thread, you have been credited the most with creating the 3in1 cd. So many accolades, ton loads of thanks. I dont know how else can one appreciate your work more?
Post by: The_Flames on November 07, 2001, 05:34:23 AM
I feel sory for OZ that he feel that he has to remove the information from every web site but as he has done all the hard work I wont complain.
The site will be removed in 6-8 hrs time when I\'m out of Univeristy and I can get online.
my site has a rule, if I made the content it\'s in the main window or it in it\'s own window.
PS defination of steal from dictionary.com
To take (the property of another) without right or permission.
To get or effect surreptitiously or artfully: steal a kiss; stole the ball from an opponent.
To move, carry, or place surreptitiously.
To draw attention unexpectedly in (an entertainment), especially by being the outstanding performer: The magician\'s assistant stole the show with her comic antics.
Baseball. To advance safely to (another base) during the delivery of a pitch, without the aid of a base hit, walk, passed ball, or wild pitch.
the worst that i did was research without enough inclooded sources as all of those relate to phyisical things!!!!

If I can rember my batch programming skills I could make an batch file that could do all the required tasks to create the cd,
then I could post that on my site, people would be able to create the 3-1 cd, Oz would have his work removed, I can put the credit for the information to him, and some were somebody may be happy( I hope ).

Oz: we appreciate your work. The_Flames meant no disrespect and I believe he gave you credit (I did not check out the link yet, it\'s probably gone now anyways). Just take a deep breath, pet a cat (or dog if you\'re a dog person), watch some TiVo, relax...and worry about it when you\'re ready. I think having your guide up, with full credit, would be acceptable. It\'s your call though.

At least I got the cdimage switches memorized now and can prolly do that part in my sleep. And also I can now give the exact error I\'ve been receiving during the installation process:
*** Stop: 0x0000006B (0xC000003A,0X00000002,0X00000000,0x00000000) Process1_Initialization_Failed
Once I get this message however the only option for me is to power down and retry but I\'ve done that so many times already.
This is a good problem.
So close yet still so far away ;-(

also a linuxdistribution has to be added for low level hd tools:)
I´m willing to put up a website with info so everyone could create a multybootcd with the tools and or op systems the want

As far as the capacity of my 5in1 your right . It is too large for a CD. The only option there is, is to use a DVD (a nice Christmas wish) or do what I did, trim the fat to only what you will need to make it fit on the CD. ;-)

copy win09 c:win98
and run setup off the c:...and when i do that it says something about a illegal procedure...it then cancels setup. I have also chosen to include some switch i cant remember exactly -? that ignores this error that it gives me here that should allow me to proceed..but it still cancels install.
I\'m just wondering has anybody got to install win98/me with this multibootable just like it would be if you use your orginal win98/me cd. I mean do you choose whatever # option in diskemu to start setup of win98/me and the gui starts and everything runs smooth.??? ;P..sorry im alittle tired. I just want to know if i can just press 4 buttons or less and have the 9x/me install fly without a hitch and how the heck you got this to work.

what does that do???anyways in conclusion i am under the impression that line path=%RAMD%:;%CDROM%:UENGLISHWIN98SE %RAMD%utilize\'s ramdisk somehow not too sure....then %CDROM% makes the setup use the cdrom drive regardless of its drive letter...am i close?? ok before i go posting another post can i just edit the following in your...actually i shouldnt have to edit the config.sys right???just replace the existing body in autoexec.bat with a new one right??anyways

edit 1: make sure that that this file is referenced correctly to config.sys by editing the following if you currently have a config.sys with your files...otherwise use\'s yours ;-P.
echo.
IF \"%config%\"==\"SETUP_CD\" goto AUTOSETUP
GOTO QUIT
edit 2: make sure the path is set to the correct folder onr your cd and make sure the setup.exe file name is the same aswell in the following lines in this..
:AUTOSETUP
cls
echo Now starting the Windows 98 Second Edition Installation Option
echo for this computer.
echo.
echo Please standby.....
path=%RAMD%:;%CDROM%:UENGLISHWIN98SE
OEMSETUP.EXE /K \"/IE /NF\"
echo.
goto QUIT
i guess one could just use your 2 files aslong as all paths/names where the same and create the .img right??o yeh is there a way i can use a different file name for config.sys than config.sys or is this just how Crum allows it to be ;-P..(Crum...Conan)

The image works as you,ve mentioned all you would need to do is modify the autoexec.bat to fit your 9x choice and its setup.exe file (in the autoexec file I posted its using the oemsetup but this should also work for the setup.exe as well)
I borrowed the lines from a winme bootdisk that I think had better code and uses the ramdrive \"%RAMD%\" to store the extra files that are compressed in an \"ebd.cab\" file I thought that would be useful for debugging and such. This would be where you\'d find the files like edit, sys, format, etc etc.
As far as the config.sys file.. the line [Setup_CD] is the menu option that you\'d select if you wanted to install the 9x OS from the CD.. Note:(This could be anything as long as it is reference in the autoexec.bat file).
The line \"include=CD\" references the menu option for CD support [CD]. This was used instead of retyping the same lines that the [CD] menu already had. A shortcut if you will from typers cramps ;-)
What I edited was the include=CD for the [Setup_CD] menu since that wasn\'t there initially and the line in the [CD] section that didn\'t have a \"device=himem.sys\" line that was giving me grief when I tried using the ramdrive statements.
I mod\'d an original 98 bootdisk to get this to work for me.
As far as using the supplied 2 files and creating the image.. sure go ahead.. I hope that it would help anyone trying to do what I just did.. ;-)
As far as using a different filename other than config.sys.. why? That is what helps make this bootdisk work.. Old DOS days always had a autoexec.bat and config.sys file.. Not sure how you would do it any other way.. Unless you wanted to try a customized *.dat file and I\'m not to sure if you would want to go there. ;-)
PS. 1 Also I\'ve found that I could fit all of the files for the 3 W2K versions, the directories win98 and the winme on one disk only if I used a 99min blank (870mb).. total image size for me was 757mb if anyone wanted to know. ;-)
PS 2. If you want to make your 9x install with the auto inserted PIDKEY, all you have to do is create an MSBatch.inf file with the right format and drop it into the UENGLISHWin9x folder. I\'ll post that in abit.

If you look at the 3 .dat from oz\'s site in a binary editor, you will see that they are all the same except for where they point to for the root level dir. This file is nothing more than a pointer to where the acutal boot files are located. For example, in asrvsect.dat, you can replace asrv with xsrv and change the root level folder asrv to xsrv and your cd will still work perfectly (again use a binary editor for this).

- Windows XP Home Edition boot disks--
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release...releaseid=33290 (http://\"http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?releaseid=33290\")
- Windows XP Professional boot disks--
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release...releaseid=33291 (http://\"http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?releaseid=33291\")
My guess is that you would require the files from these boot disk in the root level dirs (equivalent to asrv, wsrv and wpro dirs in win2k boot cd), but other changes might be required if you are making a multi-cd.

In regards to the NT4, I would not use the winnt.sif method bot recommend using the setupp.ini method that is referenced on thetechguide.com site. I\'ve tried with the winnt.sif and it appears to blow up when doing an install with a BSOD. I guess that\'s because the image must be coded in someway to look for this file strictly from a floppy. As soon as I removed the winnt.sif file from the i386 directory I was able to resume an installation. The value that I found that works is pretty much the same as for win2k.. with the following exception.
What you\'ll most likely see when you open the file is a format similar to this:
[Pid]
Pid = \"50036\"
All you would need to do is add \'270\" to the value so that it looks like this
[Pid]
Pid = \"50036270\"
Then when you run the installation routine you won\'t be asked for a key.

This is a very interesting thread. I am just about ready to try and make a WinXP/2k iso, but I have a couple of questions I haven\'t been able to find the answers to here -
1. Just what has been edited in the \'setupldr.bin\', txtsetup.sif, and the *sect.dat files?
I believe I know the answer to one of these questions. I think the *sect.dat files have to point to the boot floppy directories - right? This is done right at the end of the string \'setupldr.binbootfix.binXXXX\' where XXXX is the said directory off the \'root\'. Are the other files also modified to point to the required directories?
2. In WinXP, the \'txtsetup.sif\' file, after extracting it from the 4 images off the boot floppies, is compressed (txtsetup.si_).
Does this throw a problem into this procedure? What should I do.
Thanks everyone and keep up the good posts!

In regards to the WnXP solution.. I couldn\'t help you on that but would be interested in finding out and will prolly research that to find out if it is this or another file that was edited.
Anyone else have any ideas?
PS.. I\'m not sure if you\'ll be able to make that disk with win2k/XP unless you drop off all but the i386 directory of either one.. I was thinking of doing the same but the xp is alot more bloated than the 2k images were.. you might tryit but I had no success with that so far.

setupldr.bin: Have yet to determine the edit necessary for this file. Anyone?
txtsetup.sif: Change SetupSourcePath = \"UENGLISHPRO\" (from the PRO edit). You must edit this to the location of the i386 folder for NT installs. It’s roughly in the middle of the file.
*sect.dat: The dat files contain a pointer at the end to the directory for the floppies I think. Change the XXXX to a four letter folder name (max 4, could it be less?) where you put the floppies. Eg NT4W for NT 4 Workstation if you want. Just put the 3 NT4 floppies into that folder.
If I am right you must use a hexeditor for all these edits. Don’t use notepad or you will get errors. Someone suggested Ultraedit earlier in the thread and I have been using a trial version so far without any problems.
For 9X installs I used a edit of the config.sys and autoexec.bat from the 98 boot disk to just point to the setup.exe.
Examples:
Config.sys
files=99
buffers=30,0
dos=high,umb
lastdrive=z
device=oakcdrom.sys /D:oemcd001
device=btdosm.sys
device=flashpt.sys

device=aspi2dos.sys
device=aspi8dos.sys
device=aspi4dos.sys
device=aspi8u2.sys

AutoExec.bat

set tmp=c:
path=;a:;%CDROM%:;%CDROM%:UENGLISHWIN98SE;
copy command.com c:temp > NUL
set comspec=c:tempcommand.com
LH %path%:MSCDEX.EXE /D:oemcd001 /L:E

echo.
goto QUIT
:NOCDROM
echo.
echo The Windows 98 Setup files were not found.
echo.
:QUIT
rem clean up environment variables
set CDPROB=
set CDROM=
I put these on a floppy with the necessary files and used dd.exe from Bart\'s site to make an image (dd a: w98.img)
ps. I just edited these. They are not the ones on the CD that I am using. I am not currently in front of that computer. If anyone notices an error with these files please post it. Thanks.
Again: If anyone is running into a problem over and over or notices a lot of questions in the thread about something and YOU have the answer. Please let me know for a FAQ in the manual. Extra Thanks to anyone who emails a screenshot of the answer as well to me.

What I really want for the NT4 is a answer file. I use MSBatch.inf for 95 and 98 to automate the whole install. I would like to get as close to that as possible with the NT4 install.
I looked and NT4 does us the setupp.ini and it looks like adding 270 will auto insert it. Thanks.
As to the burning software. Has anyone tried Bart\'s CDRPack 12? Could we use it as well. Be nice if I could list free software as much as possible in the manual. I have had trouble using CdrWin. I think it has to do with I am using ver4 and the fact that I have never used it before.

Take a look at the Microsoft Knowledge base for
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...b;EN-US;Q123765 (http://\"http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q123765\") and
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...b;EN-US;Q216258 (http://\"http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q216258\")
NT 4 looks at winnt.sif as a floppy pointer to the files using[Data] MsDosInitiated = 1. While 2000 looks under [Data] for MSDosInitiated=No
Just for kicks I am going to try and use the winn.sif in NT4 install with MSDosInitiated=No
It does not look very promising that it will work but I will try.
Also, does anyone know of a hexeditor that is shareware or even better freeware. Just wondering.
Post by: Sic1Nine on December 03, 2001, 03:51:18 PM
The *.dat file was never edited in the original instructions that was posted on OZ\'s site that I can recall.. not sure what you\'ve done there but all that I did was include the respective *.dat files as they were from the original cd in the root directory for those OS versions.
The Hex Editor of choice was UltraEdit.. you could download it and use it without registering it to do all of what is needed here. The url: http://www.ultraedit.com (http://\"http://www.ultraedit.com\")

I included a screenshot of the edit to the dat files. This is the wpro file I got from The_Flames site, I think. Same edit \'XXXX\' goes for any of the NT installs.
Post by: Tyee on December 03, 2001, 07:38:50 PM
1. Loader.bin boots the computer and then runs diskem1x.bin.
2. diskem1x.bin looks for diskemu.cmd to put up your menu choices for you to choose what to install.
3. Choosing a menu choice runs that specific *sect.dat. This file must point to the specific boot floppy directory of what system your trying to install. (ie. ASRV, WPRO, WSRV).
4. Setupldr.bin (in that specific boot floppy directory) now runs. It must point to the boot floppy directory that itself is in.
5. Ntdetect now runs in that same directory. Ntdetect reads txtsetup.sif for the required info to start the install.
Now everything should install properly if everything I\'ve read is true.
All the above is compiled from this thread, Oz\'s work, Bart\'s site, the Chinese website with a similar procedure (after I translated it, I think Space also posted a translated version in this thread). Thanks, everyone!! I\'m still trying to understand all this in an orderly fashion.
Please feel free to correct my summary if anyone notices errors. I have one more important question --
Why does this procedure use the floppy bootfiles/directories if the original Win2k CD doesn\'t. Since the original CD has a lot of the files (mentioned above) pointing to the I386 folder, why can\'t we just substitute \"I386\" in those files with our new folders ie. (UENGLISHPRO or UENGLISHADV_SER or UENGLISHWSRV ???

When installing, Win2k doesn\'t actually use the *.img files in the Bootdisk folder does it ??

btw....according to the how to section here...the only way that you can autoinsert the key is if add that file in the WIN9X dir for winme right??? does this mean if i use a dir named winme to put all my files in this autoinsert wont work???I wouldnt of asked but i have yet to make it even close to that part of the install ;-P...im tired and feeling goofy...type you all later

The way to get around the XP problem of \'txtsetup.sif\' being compressed in the boot floppies is to just forget about the WinXP boot floppies and leave the whole WinXP CD directory as it is on the original install CD, and just copy it over to our \'Root\' directory without any modifications. Then add the necessary Win2k directories as this thread has shown then everything will be fine. Then burn on a 99min CD. I,ll try this when I find one of these.
Do all burners and burning programs support these large CD\'s??

As far as this multi MS OS cd...is it possible to compress all files in something like a .cab and have them extracted then installed. Like put the i386 dir\'s of xp and 2k in a .cab...then have a program that could be added with and run with diskemu.bin ?????know what i mean....i see that the regular install procedure\'s use the .cab. So why not the whole thing

BTW I have a Plextor 12/10/32 so I\'ll have to look into whether it will do the 99min. burn. I think I read you could damage your burner if it can\'t do this and you try to make it do it!
Here\'s the summary/method I\'m using to make the WinXP/2k Bootable CD. It has the detail in it that I needed, maybe it will help someone else. It\'s just a little reworking of Oz\'s and the other website\'s 3in1 summary (the_Flames if I remember correctly?).I want to give credit where credit is do so thanks to Oz, Flames, you and everyone else here who helped.
Note -- you will have to have read this thread totally to understand everything in here, but most of us have.
Making a WinXP/2k Boot CD
NOTE - This procedure assumes d: is the drive in use
1. Make the following folders on d:
d:CDroot2kPro
d:CDrootBF2k
2. Copy Full Win2k CD to \'d:CDroot2kPro\' folder
3. Extract d:CDroot2kProBootdisk*.img (Win2k Boot Floppies) to \'d:CDrootBF2k\' folder (with pathname,use WinImage).
4. Copy Full WinXP CD to \'d:CDroot\' folder.
5. Hex Edit \'d:CDrootBF2ksetupldr.bin\' to change all ASCII instances of \'i386\' to \'BF2k\'.
6. Edit \'d:CDrootBF2ktxtsetup.sif\' to change \'SetupSourcePath\' to point to \'2kPro\'.
7. Apply service patch 2 to the \'2kPro\' folder --
w2ksp2.exe -x (extract to a drive other than d:, ie. c: then run the updater)
c:I386UpdateUpdate.exe -s:d:CDroot2kPro
8. Edit \'d:CDroot2kProI386setupp.ini\', and change line \'PID=??????000\' to \'PID=??????270\' to avoid entering CD serial no.
9. Copy from \'d:CDroot2kPro\' folder the following files to the \'d:CDroot\' folder --
CDROM_IP.5
CDROM_NT.5
Read1st.txt
Readme.doc
spnotes.htm
*.tst (all .tst files)
10. Copy Bart\'s files to \'d:CDroot\' folder --
loader.bin
diskem1x.bin
diskemu.cmd (Edit to suit OS to install, see Bart\'s instructions)
w2ksect.dat (Win2k bootsector)
wxpsect.dat (WinXP bootsector,same as Win2k bootsector)(Rename while copying \'w2ksect.dat\' to \'wxpsect.dat\')
11.Hex Edit in \'d:CDrootw2ksect.dat\' this ASCII text - \'SETUPLDR.BINBOOTFIX.BINI386\' and change the \'I386\' in this string to \'BF2k\'. Leave \'d:CDrootwxpsect.dat\' alone. It will point to \'I386\' which will be in the \'d:CDroot\' folder now (Copied from WinXP CD in step 4).
12. Right click the above 5 files to change their properties to \'hidden\'.
13. Run CDImage with this command line, assuming \'CDroot\' folder has been made on d: and output file is going to e:
CDImage -lWinXP_2k_Boot -h -o -m -n -bd:CDrootloader.bin d:CDroot e:WinXP_2k.iso
14. Burn iso to CD (approx. 900MB)

\"I am not sure at this time, since I have yet to try, but you should be able to use the winnt.sif file for XP as well.\"
Like i said right above putting a file named \"Winnt.sif\" in the i386 dir in winxp pro does not work for automated installs....i am retrying tonight with the Winnt.sif file in the directory where the floppy files rest.
Can someone confirm wether or not using a capital W in the filename Winnt.sif is correct or should all letters be lowercase...i have searched. MS.com for the info it just keeps saying \"The file must be named Winnt.sif.\" which means it should be witha capital but i read somewhere that case does matter....wether or not case matter for a capital W i dont know. but i did read it

-rename to winnt.sif in bold. The only time listed in bold is lowercase. Maybe important maybe not. Usally does not matter for install files.
-the winnt.sif file must be in the folder where you put the floppies. I will update the site soon to show this.

Also if you read what \"Eric\" posted in this thread http://www.thetechguide.com/forum/showflat...o=&fpart=1&vc=1 (http://\"http://www.thetechguide.com/forum/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=software&Number=1365&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1&vc=1\")
you will notice he seemed to be overly informative seem to know what he is talking about...and he mentions to name the file WINNT.SIF...in all capitals ;-) ...im not too sure what to try here due to partially installing win2k/xp isnt very quick....so i am going to use cdimage this time and put three winxp pro\'s on the same cd with different variations. To sum it up i probably wont be back online tonight :-P.

I posted the manual online thinking that would give me some time to regroup. Looks like that did not work
/wink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\';)\' />Anyway, I am assuming until told otherwise that flames is right. It is not case sensitive on the CD. However that thread did show a lot of interesting notes that will most likely end up in the manual. I wonder if I could find out what \"Eric\'s\" email is?
Future notes for the manual -- winnt32.sif / OEM and all that goes with it / IE6 & security updates (quite mode).
That\'s a wrap for the day,

Also Twinkie you might want to add that however much space that all the os\'s copied onto the drive is taking up..you will need that amount free and
enough space for the final .iso i.e. 1.6gigs+1.6gigs+600mbs=3.8gigs for the total operation...that was brought to my attention rudely.
Ok now...i accidently overwrote my config.sys file while i was editing the one for the win98 boot.img.... so my system wont start. ?anyway i can somehow get it to work again?

Post by: The_Flames on December 11, 2001, 08:15:32 PM
It just sets some defaults to the uk insted of the US
It removes the need to put a key into the installer and saves some timeconsuming changes that i have to usally make!!!

how much the size of your iso now ? with win98se and win2k Pro together with utilities ? I tried to setup one but went out of range to 700 MB then I can\'t find a decent 90 / 99 min cd around.. I would like to know what is your iso size ? and which dirs you eliminated if that is within 630 MB ?
Thanks,
Vijay.

/smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' /> Let\'s see... I have the directories setup without the image files so far and then an image of win2k. The Win2k image alone is about 308 MB on disk. This is only the updated i386 directory and the needed files for the \"Cdrpack\" process.
The Directories I have that I want to create an image for include:
HFNetchk
i386
IE 5.5 SP2 All Win Versions
IIS 5 Security Update
IIS Lockdown Tool
Win98
I have a few more I would like and so far the directory sizes are 536 MB on my hard disk. The image files under the i386 for cdrpack are only about 489k... I\'m not sure if I helped or hurt on this one but If I could get the process for imaging in CDImage I will create it and let you know how it turns out.

However, it disables Luna theme, MS error reporting,
remote desktop client, .net messenger etc... on xp
the references to .reg files on a: .. are compiled (maybe hives) registry entries
containing all the tcp-ip tweaks and completely hidden stuff about your domains
that SETUP finds while upgrading NT workstation to NT server.....
it is always changing, and that\'s why lines are commented out, or just have no values.
anyway, it works ~!.....
========================================
Anything remotely resembles slipstreaming the SP6 into WINNT 4.0 ?....
cause i always SP6 \'n on top of a fresh installs. it would be nice not have to do all of that extra work
Hopefully, someone knows the answer !

by the way, because of the MSDOSINITIATED entry in the above winnt.sif
this only works from a floppy disk (you can change it),
insert floppy with this file (winnt.sif) at the beginning of text-mode setup. before you press F6 and all that....

If you are viewing these posts, I know you took your site down. Is there anyway that I can get your help? My email address is [email protected]. I am trying to make a bootable CD with NT4/W2KPro on it and I am having alot of problems with it. You seem to be very knowledgable on this and wanted to know if you could help.
Thanks

I\'ve been reading this post for two weeks now and I\'d like to inform that I\'m writing a complete tutorial/how-to about making multiple OS boot CD. I\'m going to write it first in finnish and then in english.
I\'ve made two cd\'s, other with finnish and english W2K Pro and other with english W2K Pro, W2K Server, NT4 Workstation and NT4 Server. I removed some of the unneeded Support-files and was able to cut the size of the image to 702 MB =) So I got it burned to a 80 Min CD.
I have used the winnt.sif trick with XP and 2K. For NT4 I used one tool found from NT4 Resource Kit CD or something similar to that. (Can\'t remeber, found it from school\'s computer class =) )
I won\'t post any link now because I can\'t upload the tutorial to my school\'s web server. When I get my ISP\'s webspace to work I\'ll upload it there.
If anyone has suggestions or other ideas please email to [email protected]

I did however get a \'Insert Service Pack 2 CD\' prompt when i removed the CD after the file copy stuff happened...my first test using VirtualPC went without a hitch and no \'insert...\' prompt when i just left the CD in....not sure what that means just yet.
Does anyone know difinitivly if/how you can incorporate an Unattend.txt or Winnt.sif into the mix to accomidate an unattended install? Any links and such to using the 3-in-1 and adding post-SP2 hotfixes, IE6 Uprade, IE6 Update etc...
Great work everyone! Many thanks!

Very good work indeed. Well I have started going through this wesite recently, dont know OZ or his work, but congrulations to oz and to you all for all the good and hard work.
I will soon be coming up with all the information I have and everybody is welcome to share it, distribute it. Also it will not be copied from anywhere. If I have to REINVENT THE WHEEL, then so be it.
If u guys have any suggestions, like forming a group, team please do post them, as team work is always better than one individual. Again all that work will be free for all, can can be freely shared.
Very good work SPACE and THE_FLAMES. Please do keep it up.

Did you intergrate SP2 with you W2K? It should have not asked you for the SP disk. I did it the way that Twinkie said and it worked right the first time...
[/indent]
I did slipstream SP2 into all three. If i leave the CD in the drive when installing Win2k Pro (only one tested ATM), I don\'t get prompted for anything, however if i remove the CD after the text mode portion is done, it gives me the \'Please insert Service Pack 2 CD\' prompt...if i throw the 3-in-1 back in, it continues on it\'s merry way...not a show stopper, just an oddity. If anyone knows why i\'d love to fix it through...i thought just maybe it might be because of the step where you copy the *.tst (cdromsp2.tst i believe) file, i copied it from the ADVSRV directory...the file is empty in all three...who knows?
anyway, on to the unattend.txt/winnt.sif work...I\'ve got 7 more days to have a working install process...
Post by: DavoNZ on January 09, 2002, 07:18:17 PM
Make a directory on your HD for the Windows 2000 cd eg: d:w2kcd
Copy the whole windows 2000 cd to that directory.
I got the service pack from a PC mag CD, so to extract the service pack ready for intergation into the win2k install cd copy the service pack w2ksp2.exe to your HD ( in my case d: ).
Open a DOS box in windows then run the following command:
D:W2ksp2.exe /x
You will be asked for a dirctory to install the server pack to, i use d:sp2
When the service pack is extracted to intergrate it with the CD type:
d:sp2i386UpdateUpdate.exe -s:d:w2kcd
Once that is done, I then use CDRWIN to burn the CD. You can get CDRWIN from http://www.goldenhawk.com/ (http://\"http://www.goldenhawk.com/\")
If you require help to write the CD using CDRWIN, leave a post and I will upload onto a web site.. Or just use what Bart does, but i find CDRWIN much easier to use and quicker...

Don\'t mean to yell, but helping everyone out is my idea of fun. It sometimes bugs me when people complain about problems and then don\'t ask how to fix it.
I\'ll go calm down now.
Updates: Not on the site yet.
Internet Explorer Administration Kit. Download it and run the wizard. Put distribution on CD. Add to unattend using cmdlines.txt file. That appears to be the easiest way to \"slipsteam\" IE into the install.
I am currently looking for switch commands to supress reboot for DirectX 8 or better and Media Player 7.1 I will add to the unattend section of the manual -- Anyone?
The directions to burn the bootable CD are already posted here at thetechguide.com. Go here: http://www.thetechguide.com/win2kbootcd/ (http://\"http://www.thetechguide.com/win2kbootcd/\"). The settings are all the same even for the Multiboot CD.
Another option to using the unattend to install programs is Daves cool program http://jove.prohosting.com/~techinfo/restore/ (http://\"http://jove.prohosting.com/~techinfo/restore/\") Take a look and see if it helps.
Hope to post again soon,
Thanks to all who contribute,

On XP you said to extract the bootdisk images out of the bootdisk directory. I have checked three copies of XP and did not find it. Two were legal copies. Where can you get a copy of the Bootdisk? All most go it set up. Just go to get XP done and I am in there.
Thank again for the great site.

Post by: thatkgbagent on January 11, 2002, 02:44:06 PM
i\'ve got a single OS boot cd going (win2k) and also would like to suppress the reboots of directx and media player. i have found something out, though: i\'m installing these in the GuiRunOnce section in separate batch files. if i let it reboot, then, as long as the auotlogon count is upped (i\'m at 7 right now), the GuiRunOnce continues after the reboot. there is a caveat, though: if running batch1.bat, batch2.bat, and batch3.bat, in that order, and a reboot is triggered in batch1.bat, then when the GuiRunOnce resumes after the reboot, it executes batch3.bat and completely skips batch2.bat (also skips anything else in batch1.bat that follows the line that triggered the reboot).
my workaround for now is: i stick a dummy batch in there (hello world) that is harmless and doesn\'t matter if skipped. so my GuiRunOnce section looks like:
================
[GuiRunOnce]
\"%systemdrive%Installshotfixes.bat\"
\"%systemdrive%Installsempty.bat\"
\"%systemdrive%Installsapps1.bat\"
\"%systemdrive%Installsempty.bat\"
\"%systemdrive%Installsieupdt.bat\"
\"%systemdrive%Installsempty.bat\"
\"%systemdrive%Installsapps2.bat\"
\"%systemdrive%Installsempty.bat\"
\"%systemdrive%InstallsOrncinst.bat\"
\"%systemdrive%Installsempty.bat\"
\"%systemdrive%InstallsO_reg.bat\"
\"%systemdrive%Installsempty.bat\"
\"%systemdrive%Installsapps3.bat\"
\"%systemdrive%Installsempty.bat\"
\"%systemdrive%Installsdx.bat\"
================
where empty.bat is just:
================
echo hello world
exit
================
my question then is: is there a way to permit the reboot without requiring response to the dialog box that pops up (check ok for reboot) after, for instance, directx?
also, is there a way to force a reboot from the command line, arbitrarily? (there are some apps that i\'m installing after which i\'d like to force the reboot, but can\'t.)

@echo off
rem shutdown
pathshutdown /l /y /t:0
exit
rem reboot
pathshutdown /l /y /r /t:0
exit
That will force a shutdown without any user intervention. I used to know how to do that on 9X machine without need of shutdown.exe but need to remember how. I will post again if I find my notes on 9X. It may help anyone who does not have access to the Resource Kit.

You have to download the floppies. Why? Got me!
I will be updating the XP page this weekend.
Post by: thatkgbagent on January 11, 2002, 06:53:21 PM
the directx 8.1 download is something like dx81nteng.exe. when i type that at the command prompt with \'/?\', it says that the setup options are /Q, /T:
/Q is for the quiet modes of the package. do you know how to find out what the quiet mode options are? i\'ve been using /Q:A and that installs it nearly completely, but hangs at that last prompt for reboot (just needing to press the ok button - ridiculous). /C:
i was able to use /Q:A /R:N for the install of IE5.5sp2 (with reboot suppressed), but the /R:N doesn\'t seem to work for either the directx8.1 or media player 7.1.

Post by: Twinkie on January 11, 2002, 07:52:06 PM
dxsetup.exe /silent /reboot
It installs with no dialog progress and no need for you to select any ok box before reboot. Still looking at the Media Player exe to find the same options. I found a reference to /Q /R:N in there though. I was gonna try that tomorrow.
Post by: Twinkie on January 11, 2002, 08:00:12 PM
I don\'t know if because I already installed it did not need to reboot or if that is the answer. I will try it out on a test machine over the weekend.
Anyway, it installed without the need for reboot just now.
Post by: thatkgbagent on January 11, 2002, 08:44:01 PM
from my attempts, directx seems to behave such that it doesn\'t reboot if it\'s already installed, but does force a reboot if it hasn\'t been installed yet.
i got ahold of shutdown and will be trying that...

First of all: This forum is great. Keep up the great work.
Thx to Twinkie, The Flames and OZ for the guides and stuff. Very very useful.
Following those instructions i made a ISO. It boots and starts the install without any probs.
But after it loads some drivers (shortly after F6) it says the following:
\"WPROvgaoem.fon\"
\"WSRVvgaoem.fon\"
\"ASRVvgaoem.fon\" Could not be loaded. Reboot.
Shouldn´t those files be in the \"uenglishxxxi386\" folders ?
After examining all *.sif *.txt and *.dat files they all point to the correct locations. As i downloaded them and never edited them. Also i made the directory structure exactly as in twinkies instructions.
If i copy those files (vgaoem.fo_) in the directories (WSRV-WPRO and ASRV) it continues with another error message.
\"cxxx.xxx\" Could not be loaded.
Do i need to copy the whole \"i386\" folder to the bootdisk folder ??
Please some suggestions what i did wrong. Anything else just works fine.
Warm greetings.
XRay1720
P.S.: I´m also working on a \"How-To\". So if someone
interested send a e-mail. Will send as soon as it is
complete. Also working on a localized version in
German.

/i386/$OEM$/$C
you can change the drive letter of course. Then point to C:%prog% to execute your install.
Still working on getting directx to not reboot. You are right about not needing to reboot if already installed. My mistake.

c:installsp2fulli386updateupdate.exe -s:c:installw2kcd
Note that some of the documentation incorrectly refers to /s. Also, ensure that there is no space between the –s switch and the destination path. Note also that it’s the CD root that is specified and not the i386 directory itself. This operation can only be performed on a Windows 2000 computer.
The directory should now contain at least the following files and folders:
i386
cdrom_ip.5
cdrom_nt.5
cdromsp2.tst
If the CD is not a Windows 2000 Professional CD (e.g. Server) then the identifier files required will differ. Refer to www.bink.nu for details.
The cdromsp2.tst file needs to be in the root, otherwise you will be prompted to insert the SP2 CD during setup. This is a zero byte file, so can be created by hand if necessary.

what i did was ran the \'dx81nteng.exe /Q:A /R:N, and then in my script put a wait of 1 minute, then using a utility to kill processes, killed the process....then scripted a reboot with shutdown.exe....
haven\'t noticed any ill effects as of yet. the same process DID NOT work for Media Player 7.1...
Not real sure why Microsoft would make it that difficult to automatically deploy those two...dummies.
Post by: Anonymous on January 15, 2002, 11:25:10 AM
extracted DirectX8.1 to a folder, then ran dxsetup /install (did not prompt nor force a reboot)(verified DX8.1 installed)
extracted MediaPlayer7.1 to a folder, then ran setup_mp /Q:A /R:N (did not prompt nor force a reboot)(verified MP7.1 installed)
Give it a shot. This was tested on a fresh Win2K Pro SP2 with the applicable hotfixes installed prior to testing.
I\'d be happy to assist anyone trying to do the same. I so far have everything automated and generating post-install reports and hfnetchk reports. Moving on to the scripted Office XP install....oh the joys of sysadmin...
Post by: Twinkie on January 15, 2002, 12:31:33 PM
Note: dxsetup /install /silent does exactly what you say. I just tested on a new machine at work. No reboot, no dialog. Yeah!

install win2k pro sp2 (using 3-in-1 cd and winnt.sif on floppy)
winnt.sif contains
[GuiRunOnce]
Command0=a:part1.cmd
[part1.cmd] = Sets some temp variables needed later during script, maps Z: to %REPOSRV%%REPOPATH%, xcopies an 89MB folder called SUPPORT to c:winntposttempsupport.
(In Support i have all the hotfixes, IE6, MP71, DX81 etc...)
...script runs hfnetchk and saves as a report to %POSTINSTALLREPORTS%, sets variables permanently via registry merge (so i don\'t have to continue to manually \'set\' everything). calls %PATHTOSUPPORT%IE6IE6SCR.CMD( which installs IE6 silently), sets the RunOnce registry via merge to run %PATHTOSUPPORT%part2.cmd on next boot, then calls %PATHTOSUPPORT%reboot.cmd, which contains commands to do shutdown.exe (from reskit) to reboot the system.
[part2.cmd] = contains commands to run another hfnetchk report, install IE6 update Q313675, set registry again, reboot again...
[part3.cmd] = installs hotfixes:q252795, q285156, q285851, q296185, q298012, q299796, q302755 and q296441. Then runs qchain.exe, runs another hfnetchk report, sets runonce again, calls reboot.cmd
[part4.cmd] = calls %PATHTOFIXES%MP71MP71SCR.CMD, which unzips mp71.exe and then installs using /Q:A /R:N, runs another hfnetchk report, sets registry, calls reboot.
[part5.cmd] = calls %PATHTOFIXES%DX81DX81SCR.CMD, which unzips DX81NTeng.exe and installs using /install, sets registry, calls reboot.cmd
[part6.cmd/officexp.cmd] runs hfnetchk report, maps a drive to %REPOSRV%%REPOPATH%OfficeXP (also var\'d as %PATHTOOFFICE%) and launches an Admin Install (with transform) of OfficeXP SP1, saves the log to %PATHTOREPORTS% and calls reboot.cmd.
============================================
this is obviously a work in progress and a lot of testing has been done to work out the process and timings (still not 100%).
I think i may *zip* the whole support directory on the server and unpack to the local system...to save copy time across the network, not sure if it will speed things up or not. also need to work on adapting it to work from CD if possible...also going to be adding quite a few more \'post install tweaks/registry mods\"...never ending...
It does seem to be going very well...just takes a bit of patience. I tried to write each script modular and using the variables at all times, this way all I need to do in my part1.cmd is modify the %REPOSRV% value to a different repository server and i can use it anywhere in my organization.
If anyone has further questions or wishes to add anything, feel free to email me @ [email protected]

if there are any .MSI files in the media player setup package, try running them under msiexec.exe with a switch to prevent reboooting

To copy over the updates and fixes I used an oem folder to copy over a cab file. Then used the windows extract to then open the cab to the right spot for further install. Works for me. I will post back with the location of the cab creater. It is somewhere in the forum I am sure. Pretty sure this is where I got the file from anyway.

As to the english bootup. Both the dat files and the loader from Bart\'s site were written in english. You can edit them if you would like (sorry I don\'t speak spanish) but I don\'t know if that will work on the loader. I have edited the dat files without problems. I will drop a line with Bart to see if there are any warnings about changing the language option.

In the [Unattended] section there has to be a key OemSkipEula with the value \"Yes\". Like this:
[Unattended]
OemSkipEula=\"Yes\"
Read more about this in the Unattended.doc. I think it is on the original CD under SupportTools within the deploy.cab.
Post by: The_Flames on March 12, 2002, 04:34:19 PM
I\'m sure it shhould be posable as XP has the drivers build in!
Post by: Fjellu on March 12, 2002, 06:52:43 PM
Put the files Hpt3xxNT.inf, Hpt3xxNT.sys and Txtsetup.oem into the $OEM$Textmode folder. Then in winnt.sif the following sections:
[MassStorageDrivers]
\"Hpt370 UDMA/ATA100 RAID Controller for Win2000\"=\"OEM\"
[OemBootFiles]
Hpt3xxNT.inf
Hpt3xxNT.sys
Txtsetup.oem
Then you have have to modify the [disks] section txtsetup.oem so it points to the distribution point and of course OemPreinstall=Yes in the [Unattended] section
Post by: Asterix on March 14, 2002, 04:38:28 PM
Post by: Sic1Nine on March 15, 2002, 05:41:29 AM
Also there is a very important modification in the [disks] section of the Txtsetup.oem file you will also have to make in order for this to work. You must replace the backslash \"\" in the path with a period \".\" . Without this modification there will still be a reference to a floppy drive for the drivers.
The following resource link gives a good explanation of this process.

On another note, i have followed the instructions to extract the files from floppy and apply the various version to those folders, the wpro, wsrv and asrv folders. In the instructions, it says there are supposed to be 107 files with another folder with two files under it. My folders are only showing 105 files with the folder + two files under it. I can send a txt file with the listings to anyone who can tell me what files i am missing or what step i am missing.

my case is that when i put the file in the TextMode,i can use
winnt /u:unattend.txt /s:xxxxxxx
and
winnt32 /unattend:unattend.txt
to automate install the drive
but when I burn it to CD,it always complains like below:

i had the same problem, but the solution is very easy: just grab the missing file from the %DRIVE%:ROOTUENGLISHADV_SRVI386 and copy it into %DRIVE%:ROOTASRV
in addition, you\'ll need 3 files for make it working: the \"vgaoem.fo_\" (you were talking about), the \"c_437.nl_\" and the \"kbdus.dll\"
hope this was useful
but now my problem :-)
the textmode-installation works fine till he\'s copying all the files to the hdd (just before the 1st reboot) and then he\'s asking me about a \"mdmrpci.inf\" - file. i can skip this error and he continues installing without errors.i was looking for it on every w2k-cd, but i\'ve found nothing.
does anyone have an idea?
(found the file on my winxp pro cd, maybe it\'s working, i\'ll try that)

Then you will now need to copy the file BOOTFIX.BIN from each of the I386 folders to the respective folders under ROOT:
%Drive%:ROOTUENGLISHNT4WKSTI386
%Drive%:ROOTUENGLISHNT4SRVI386
From there copy BOOTFIX.BIN respectively to:
%Drive%:ROOTNT4W
%Drive%:ROOTNT4S
[/indent]
but there\'s no bootfix.bin!!! but as it\'s the the archives (nt4s.zip and nt4w.zip), you can get it working by copying the bootfix.bin into both the folder with your extractet bootdisk and your i386-folder.
2nd: if anybody has a working w9x x-in-1 cd, i\'d like to get the autoexec.bat and config.sys of the bootimage you were using.
thx

the EULA problem you are having is probably from having txtsetup.si_ still in one of yourf olders, check the XPHM,XPPR,NTW,NTS folders for the file, you should have txtsetup.sif in there also, if you got from twinkie. If it isnt, do and \"extract /e txtsetup.si_ txtsetup.sif\" then open with notepad and fill out the part about EULA and serial number if you like. \"XP is the only one you need serial for, the others you can change the PID in setupp.ini \"last 3 digiits to 270\"
Also, I added 98SE to my W2K-3in1 CD, so now its W2k/W98 5 in 1 - this is my autoexec.bat and config.sys
OK, well, just noticed I changed the layout and cut that part out, gotta go make the cd again, will reply later with exactly what it says.

Running xxxxSECT.DAT
No Emulation Type Image (Raw)
00000800000000001
Press Enter to ...
That is not an error. That is the boot file from the Microsoft CD. If you press a key you will start setup like normal, otherwise it boots to the HD. If no OS is on the machine it will error out. No way around that so far. The No Emulation Type Image (Raw) is the type of image we are all using. The serial number.... got me. I got the file from Bart.
You are correct. I forgot on the NT page to mention that the bootfix.bin file is in the zip not on the CD. It was not until 2000 that you could skip the CD and boot to harddrive if you left the CD in. NT4 CD\'s will just keep booting on the CD over and over because they are missing the file.
As to the EULA txt missing. Some people get it and others don\'t. Same with the \"Value 0 on the line in the section [SourceDisksFiles] with key \"SP2.cab\"\" error. Some users have listed that it has to do with the order of steps while making the CD. IE:
slipstream sp2 then modify txtsetup.sif, not the other way around. SP2 modifys txtsetup.sif. So making the boot floppies and then applying SP2 will result in errors.
As to missing files during install and pressing F3 to bypass. To date (I could be wrong) 100% of those errors have been due to a bad copy of the CD. Lint or a scratch on the original CD.
Also, I just updated the Win 9X/ME section of the manual. Take a look and drop a line if more is needed.
Thanks,

A way to bring up recovery console without logging in to an install and a way to add it as a boot option like \"1) Boot into Recovery Consoles\"
There are four (4) environmnet variables that can be used in the Recovery Console to expand the functionality:
These variables default to FALSE, but you can set them to TRUE:
set allowwildcards = true - Allows you to use wildcards with some commands (such as \"del *.bak\").
set allowallpaths = true - Allows you to change directories (the cd command) to include all folders on all drives.
set allowremovablemedia = true - Allows you to copy files from the hard disk to a floppy disk or other supported removable media.
set nocopyprompt = true - Allows you to copy files without being prompted to continue when you are overwriting an existing file.
You must enable the SET command in the recovery Console using any of the following:
The Security Configuration and Analysis snap-in in Microsoft Management Console (MMC)
The Domain Controller Security Policy in Administrative Tools.
The Domain Security Policy in Administrative Tools.
The Local Security Policy in Administrative Tools.
Use Local Policies / Security Options to enable Recovery Console: Allow floppy copy and access to all drives and all folders.
Then issue a secedit /refreshpolicy machine_policy to initiate a policy refresh. Once the policy is applied, you can use the SET command to set any/all of the four environment variables to TRUE.

I am doing an XP all, and 98 SE multiboot CD. You say in the guide at www.tech-hints.com, place the modified SETUPLDR.BIN, TXTSETUP.SIF, and BOOTFIX.BIN in the folders XPPR and XPHM respectively. I have a question. I used WinImage to see what was on the Floppy images. I noticed that the files mentioned above are in there. I don\'t think they are edited. I think I might have to inject these files into the boot Images. The XPROOT.ZIP with DISKEMU.CMD, DISK1X.BIN, and LOADER.BIN, how do you know that these files read the Images and the other files place in XPHM, and XPPR? The EULA.TXT missing problem could also be caused by this. I need an explanation about this because I don\'t have CDRW. I only have CDR.

You just close down Virtual PC if something goes wrong, make adjustment to your project and boot up Virtual PC again.
I strongly recommend it for all types of CD projects.

I prefer Virtual CDRom, it´s small and does the trick. You just need two files, the program VCDControlTool.exe (23kb) and the driver VCdRom.sys (8kb). The trick is to find out on the net.
For making the ISO use CDRwin

From the file menu try resetting the Virtual PC. It sometimes \"hangs\".
If you still get the error try burning the iso to a cd and check if it is really bootable and doesnt give the same error when booting the PC.

Update time again. Fjellu sent in some great documents for slipstreaming SRP1 as well as other hotfixes that are now up on the site. Also, worked on the oem and unattend section thanks to some other hints from Fjellu. I also posted some files that need to be deleted from your CD in the event you get the no EULA.txt found.
Post by: A-star on July 24, 2002, 02:55:23 AM
I made a unattended install file WINNT.SIF, but if I place it in the I386 folder, it just doesn\'t do anything, I tried to put it in the folder where the extracted bootfloppy\'s are, but got no result. If I put it on a floppy and use it from there, I\'ve got no problems.
Also I\'ve made my own custom install of IE 6.0, I included mdac in the setup but it stops on a EULA screen, anyone knows how to bypass this automatically?
Post by: Fjellu on July 24, 2002, 03:08:23 PM
However both diskem1x.bin and Barts w2kall.bin point to folders where the extracted floppies recide. The windows install process starts from the extracted boot floppies folders. The setup information is read immediately in the first fase of the install process. So you should put your winnt.sif file in the floppies folder. That way it will work.
For Data Access Components 2.70.9001.0 it should be enough to include the parameter \"/Q\", in order to avoid any questions. Be sure to choose \"Completely Silent Installation\" at the \"User Experience\" stage.

1. Boot From Hard Disk (Default)
2. Boot From CD ROM
3. Floppy Drive
Timer - 25 secs.
The idea here is to create what a bootable Windows CD gives you when you boot from it.
It gives you a selection menu to choose boot from hard disk or boot from cd, this prevents the cd from reinstalling over and over upon each reboot. Any ideas? I know it has to be some sort of link table configured in the config.sys, I created the menu, I just can\'t make the selections do what I need them to do.

I tried it again with loader.bin and got the same error about the INF file (see end of this post).
I assume the INF file refers to is the DOSNET.INF. I did a search by line number in each file (using the goto feature of Microsoft Word) and it came to the line below:
d1,mdmrpci.inf
Update: the file is all the directories under ROOT in i386. The only thing was I had originally changed the default=c:winnt to default=c:windows and put the default=c:winnt inside [ ] so that the lines looked like this in the txtsetup.sif files:
[defaultpath=c:winnt]
defaultpath=c:windows
=================================================
You have to the copy the new
%Drive%:ROOTUENGLISHADV_SRVI386TXTSETUP.SIF
%Drive%:ROOTUENGLISHPROI386TXTSETUP.SIF
%Drive%:ROOTUENGLISHSERVERI386TXTSETUP.SIF

If you change the i386 in the [SourceDiskNames.X86] section to something else, that will take care of the source file location.
The other section is the [SetupData] The SetupSourcePath =
could be changed. I don\'t think you would require this change, but I thought I\'d mention it just in case.
I am extremely interested in how you modified the bin file though. Please provide more info.
Oh ya, one more thing that I\'m sure you know---There is a text file in the root of the CD that will identify it as a Windows Nt 4.0 or 2000 CD. The name of the text file is in the SourceDisksNames.x86 section (4.0 is cdrom_w.40)
Hope this helps!!

Anyway the NTDETECT error has to do with \"Don\'t add the \",1\" ISO file extension\"
So make sure you dont have -y1 in the command line in CDIMAGE
I added that once to the line, and got that error, so reason why MS dont add it themself to their OS CD\'s.

If your Windows XP files are already \"slipstreamed\" with a service pack you must also copy the win51ic.SPx or win51ip.SPx file.
This will prevent the CD asking \"put the SPx CD into drive A:\" during install.
It worked for me

I've been trying to make a Win2000/WinXP bootcd. However I cant get it to work. Win2000 will correctly boot but when I 'hit enter to install' it first asks for the EULA which cant be found. Making a WINNT.SIF took care of that error, however it now complains about not having a previous OS and enter CD something. Exact erorr message is: (directly translated from my lang)
The cd could not be read or it is not a cd with Windows NT 3.51 or 4.0
Insert the cd with Windows NT 3.51 workstation, Windows NT 4.0 workstation, Windows 95 or Windows 98.
* Press enter when CD is inserted
* Press F3 to exit
---------------
In my cdroot a folder called \"W2KP\" contains the I386 folder of win2000, I've tried both with SP3 slipstreamed and the original.
The 2kbootsector in the cdroot is hexedited to point to this folder. The setupldr.bin is hexedited to point to that folder and the txtsetup.sif is edited to point to that folder, however it wont find the eula or the folder at all it seems during installation. What is wrong?
I got the cdrom_ip.5 and cdrom_nt.5 in the root and in the W2kP folder.
I read something about txtsetup.sif being hardcoded could that be the prob?
Could it perhaps have to do with the letters being all caps or not?
--------------
And a note to all you f* lamers asking quote:
hi plizz can u email the instructions and the software u used to make this CD..plizzz ..i really need it..thx
No, it aint never gonna happen that anyone helps a lowlife like you that wont even try yourself but want someone to do all the work for you.
Post by: MrU on April 18, 2003, 04:35:28 PM
I was, however, wanting to take it a step or two further. I would like to be able to set up an optional boot that would enter either the Windows 2000 setup or the Windows NT 4.0 setup. The first and most devastating problem is that they both want to run out of I386. I have also succesfully hacked the bootimg.bin (seems to be a popular name for the boot sector image off the the 2000 CD) to start from a, say, 4386 or 5386 folder. The boot is succesful, but the installation is very choppy because so much of the installation is hard wired to run from the I386 directory.
I have not been able to find any help on the internet concerning the bootimg.bin, the boot sector from the cd. Most all of the sites with instructions on building such a cd offer the file as a seperate download, the rest simply instruct someone to use (usually) CDRWin to rip it off of the 2000 CD. But, I can not seem to find discourse with those who may be more familiar with how this tiny little program works.
Anyone who has been inside of it would certainly recognize the "SETUPLDR.BINBOOTFIX.BINI386" at the end of the data section. I'd mentioned that I was able to get it to run from "5386" for example by changing "BINI386" to "BIN5386". I can do this for a number of boot sectors, but would rather find a way to get it to start from w2ki386 or nt4i386.
Toward accomplishing this, I've come across two stumbling blocks. First, I can not seem to get the thing to recognize more than four characters for a path, i.e., I cannot tell it to go to nt4i386. The second stopping point is that I also cannot seem to specify a path any deeper than one off of the root. Again, being limited to four characters, I tried to set up my files in a directory called simply 86 under another folder off of the root caled 4. Hacking the boot sector file with 486 instead of I386 still did not work.
Anyone have further insight into the nature of this beast?
Thank you and please also give me feedback if I have been unclear. I tend to do that from time to time. =/

1. Create a folder to be root (this can be called root, or the name of the os's on the cd, i called mine w2k98)
2. Make a folder for each os thats only 4 letters long under your root folder
a. Examples (w2kp, w2ka, w2ks, volp, volh, xpro, xhom, home, xppr, adsv, serv, wsrv, wpro) All these are good, but make sure you are able to tell which is which os
3. Now, under this 4 letter folder make another folder, call this one nr1efre_en (this is for windows 2000 enterprise server, nr2pfre_en would be for xp pro, nr2efre_en would be windows 2003 enterprise and so forth and so on, you can use any folder name, but I like those as they go with the way microsoft actually names its cd's)
4. Within this path root\4letter folder\nr??fre_en\ Put your i386 folder, you 0K files (cdrom_ip...blah blah blah), setup.exe and anything else you want (I only have for w2k pro the files cdrom_ip.5, cdrom_nt.5, cdromsp3.tst, autorun.inf, setup.exe, read1st.txt, readme.doc, spnotes.htm, and the folder i386 in nr1pfre_en).
5. Within the I386 folder you can delete all folder with upg and mig if you do not intend to ever run an upgrade or migrate from another os, you can also delete the lang folder if you only want to use english, and you can delete the compdata folder (no idea what its for).
6. DO NOT EDIT txtsetup.sif or setupldr.bin in this folder, ill get to it in a second
7. Download the boot floppies for the os your gonna install.
8. Extract the boot floopies (make sure you extract with pathname) to the 4 letter folder
9. Edit setupldr.bin to point to your four-letter folder (should find either 3 or 4 instances)
10. Edit txtsetup.sif to point to the path of your I386 folder (should look like \"\4letterfolder\nr1pfre_en\\"
11. So within nr1pfre_en you should have an untouched setupldr.bin and an untouched txtsetup.sif.
And that should be it. Youre done. Pack the cd and boot it (as long as youre using a bootloader like bootscriptor, cdshell, or something - hopefully you know about those and are using them as you can just update them with the info to the w2k.bin or wxp.bin file. Hopefully this is understandable - I opt for this way which is different from tech-hints or anyone here as I havent seen it displayed, because it makes the root of the cd look cleaner and without have a \"root\" folder

Evilvoice: Thx for the reply but I actually solved my prob some time ago
/smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' /> My mistake was putting the I386 files in a folder not called I386 but directly in a folder called W2KP or WXPP in the cdroot.
What I did was put these files in cdroot\WXPP\I386 and then I put the bootfloppy in cdroot\WXPP.
That miss got me quite pissed for a while though

I have a bootable cd that has 8 versions of windows XP (I didn't even know they had that many). I never have used it myself, but I have read the detailed instructions of how the cd was created. Quite nifty.
Post by: ESiemiat on June 24, 2003, 12:55:53 PM
What happens is the CD copies without errors, and on the surface everything looks fine. But when I do a binary comparison 1 or 2 files don't match; They are missing data at the end of them. If I copy all the files off the CD and recreate the ISO file all works OK for the initial burn, it's just copying that causes the problem. Any ideas why?
I have tried using EZCD, Nero, and Alcohol 120% with both normal and a 1:1 copy. Each time with the same problem. Even weirder is the fact that the same files error out each time off the same CD. But different ISO files cause different files to to get corrupted.
Post by: Space Between on June 25, 2003, 03:13:17 AM
also have you tried cdrwin or discjuggler???? both of those are good.
i ran into problems myself like that once. what i did was copy the image
with cdrwin and extract all the files out using isobuster...worked fine.
however off the disc this wouldnt work right.
you did opt to use the HIGHTEST binary comparison when creating the .iso right?? the
tut on how to make the multi os cd with cdimage across the web seem to
not choose this option in the command line. It is a MUST that you use that
option or else this could result in cross-linked files getting corrupt or whatever.

I too am having a problem creating a working Slipstreamed Windows 2000 SP4 3-in-1 CD. Mine is always asking for the Service Pack 4 CD.
Now before you all jump in, here's some more info...
I have a fully working Windows 2000 SP3 3-in-1 CD. I am copying the CD contents to my harddrive, applying the slipstreaming process to each of the versions of Windows 2000, copying the cdromsp4.tst file to the root directory of my CD files, copying the new txtsetup.sif files to their respective bootdisk folders, editing the copy in the bootdisk folder to point to uenglish/xxxx based on the version of 2000, and then finally creating the iso and burning it to disk (CDRW).
Obviously, I am forgetting something, but what is it that am I missing?
thanks,
Jeff
PS. I am able to make individual SP4 CDs for each of the versions of Windows 2000, so I am obviously missing something here (especially if others are successful in making a windows 2000 3-in-1 cd with SP4 slipstreamed)...

Strange how my SP3 3-in-1 Windows 2000 CD didn't have this and worked fine.
thanks for everyone's help...

Where did you download the Windows 2000 3in1 CD from? I have been looking all over for it.
I tried making my own copy but got emulation errors after selecting the OS version to install.

I just stumbled upon this site... wish i found it sooner, it would have saved me a lot of time.
Anyway... I'm trying to make a multi-boot cd that will boot (among other things) directly into the Win XP recovery console. I can get it to boot to the windows XP setup no problem, just can't get it directly into the Recovery Console.
BTW.. I'm using isolinux, and memdisk.
Thanks,
Jim

My best guess is that you created an iso image that doesn't conform to the iso standard. During the copy, some files may get hacked to conform to the standard.

can someone please tell me once I've made the 3 in 1 image what command do I use on CDIMAGE.exe to re-create each single OS image again?
thanks in advancve

Yes it is a tricky one. I have lately be looking into something similar, but I want 98SE and Win2kSP2 on the same install bootable CD. I have not yet figured out how to load the info about multiple sector in the bootcatalog file. What you are trying to do I guess is trickier with NT4 and NT5 working of the same install folder. But there probably is a workaround it.[/quote]
hi,
dear sir/ma'm
plz tell me in detail how to create a multi bootable disk
thanks in an anticipation

if you burn the ISO with Nero, one file will get "edited"
If you burn it with CDRWIN, it will stay as it should.

THis is the first article i've seen that is actually correct. This is for a multiboot DVD, however the instructions should work the same for a CD. Excellent article
