I have figured out how to create multiple i386 directories. Look at the txtsetup.sif file. (It\'s a plain text file in the i386 directory)
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!!

Use google to search for 4. It should be out there somewhere. I have seen it also in the Kazaa search engine.

Wonder if this post will make it to the board since I mentioned Kazaa. Hmmm.. not that I support warez or anything...

I mean there is a little difference between each image, then how should i burn all of those images on one bootable cd which gives me the option of selecting the image i want. Should i use cdimage itself..or do i need to try something else. Please help me out here.

\"File txtsetup.oem caused an unexpected error (18) at
line 1041 in F:nt1privatentosbootsetupoemdisk.c\"

I am encountering this problem after I do the $OEM$Textmode scheme. Has anyone here have a workaround for this?

My txtsetup.oem file, has this parameter:

[Disks]
d1 = \"AMI MegaRAID IDE Driver\", xpsp1, .
d2 = \"AMI MegaRAID IDE Driver\", xpsp1, .
d3 = \"AMI MegaRAID IDE Driver\", xpsp1, .
d4 = \"AMI MegaRAID IDE Driver\", xpsp1, .

[Defaults]
scsi = MegaIDE100_Whistler

Seems to me that this way is too difficult, and complicated, you should try this \"bootable CD wizard\" at this site:

http://bootcd.narod.ru/

In Russian language but with included translator for english and others.
It took me ten minutes to have ready to burn.

\"setup cannot find a previous version of windows\"
all other versions in win2k 3 in 1 work eccept asrv
i have redone all steps over and over (troubleshooting just about every damn file) with licensed versions of oem pro,server, and avanced server. and right before advanced server starts installing it says it cannot find previous version. the original cd installs fine slipping sp3 into all the i386 dir goes great no errors eccept asrv. im pulling my hair out someone shoot me some suggestions.

try copying bootsect.bin setupldr.bin and txtsetup.sif from your i386 folder to where you put the disksets (ASRV?) - I had this problem because I had the old ones pre-sp3 and it wouldnt work...also, see if the i386 folders are the same...you may have deleted a folder to reduce size and accidentally deleted the wrong folder (unsure cuz the win9xmig/upg folders are what deals with prev. windows and such)...the only folder that you can successfully delete and such is compdata, any folder with \"upg or mig\" in them and \"lang\" other than that, all other folders need to be there, since I am sure you are using the full i386 folder, I would suggest moving those 3 files in the beginning, this was my problem saying it needed the cd or some stupid thing like that. If that doesnt work, try a new boot loader. I assume youre using diskemu or bootscriptor, but Im talking about what boot file they load, like wpro.bin for windows pro and such, find a new one for asrv, or just copy wpro.bin/dat and make it asrv.bin/dat...hope this helps, if it doesnt make sense, tell me and ill clean up my thoughts.

Hi there
I have been reading and reading and reading some more on how to make 3 in 1 bootable cd of W2K slip streamed with sp3 but I can not seem to get it. I followed all the instructions and made diagram of the whole thing so I don\'t miss a thing but at the end when I made the ISO image and tested it with the Virtual PC software I get NTDETECT failed after I select one of the os in the menu. Could you and would you please help me. Thanks

I have created a Windows XP Home/Professional Multiboot CD but the *.cmd data in the root doesn\'t work when I start it in windows XP. Is that normal?

Oz. · « **Reply #399 on:** February 06, 2003, 02:00:03 AM »

Gee is this thread still alive!

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.
