Bootable Win2k CD with multi OS\'s

Lotus N, this doesnt sound right. How will it let the user choose which win2k ver to install? Maybe you have to modify diskemu.cmd file. Has anyone used this suggestion to burn the actual iso? Did it work?

hello everybody

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
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
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.

F:cdimage -lW2KPSAS_SP2 -t05/15/2001,12:00:00 -g -h -n -o -w1 -m -bd:loader.bin D:ROOT W2KPSAS_SP2.iso

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

Following up again....well it was better this time ;P....the boot menu after editing the .cmd looks the way i want and performs the way i wan too...but. When i chose 1 to load win2kpro it said press any key to boot from cd....i did...then it said the \"could not find ntdlr data\" message...note i did NOT set those files to hidden...is that what is causing the problem...or something else...note i would of set them to hidden but i am not too sure how to do that in cdimage. It defiantely is working the way i want just that damn ntdlr message again...hidden in the ROOT dir i am taking is what to do
\"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

hello everybody and space,

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.

hey Lotus
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 http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/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 http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />
so wish meeh luck..hehe http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />
aritie..hope that take cares of ur 2 lil problems http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />

hey Lotus
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?? http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':(\' />
kk..let meeh know wut to do next..thanx http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />

Ok...alittle different this time...i guess...it seemed to work right by hiding the files in cdrwin..or i think it did..i just burned 2kpro and win98...the win98 works of the .img but win2k....same problem...keeps saying cannot find ntdlr data.....must be something simple i am over looking or something...what i do just to clear up a hesitation you might have is exactly what i think i should do.....i chose 1 for win2kpro and it loads the prosect.dat that i got from oz\'s page (or i think from his page atleast)..either way it says cannot find ntdlr data....any clue????

OK another follow up almost working...very close this time ;P...i forgot to do this part from oz\'s page...sorry

\"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..

The root of the folder means the folders in addition to the Uenglish folder in your cd root (the asrv, wpro and wsrv folders). If you followed Oz instructions to the letter, these would be D:ROOTASRV, D:ROOTWPRO  and D:ROOTWSRV . Each one of these folders should have 105 files + 1 sub-folder (the sub-folder should have 2 more files).

Hope this clears it up.

So everybody gets this but me i guess....i dont get 105 =subdir with 2 ...i dont even get close..the only thing i am not doing is have windows server..i got win98se instead...so i have win2kpro, win2kadvserver, and win98se...either way that is not effecting my lack of understanding...

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.

Space Between, read Oz\'s instructions carefully. You dont extract all files for win2k server in wsrv dir; just the boot images and then replace it with some files.

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.)?

ahh..one is supposed to extract all files OUT of the 4 boot.img\'s...not just the 4.img\'s..i was just putting the 4 .img\'s on the cd....anyways...i had that problem but then i just clicked cancel and went on...you can install it afterwards if you want...as far as the drivers..i. think they get copied over either way....atleast i think they did on sp1
