well, I've managed to make erd50 working with winpe on same disk ONLY when erd50 was originally loading from I386. All changes in setupldr.bin leaded to corrupt ntdlr.

As tsoifun correctly states, Changes in setupldr leads to corrupted ntldr :(  (when server 2003 is used in erd).
But there is solution to this problem :)

Download winbuilder-kit from my site (you have “Welcome to my website below“). Expand zip-file.
Read instructions carefully. Continue with downloading “easyboot-aio.script” Expand zip-file and put script in winbuilder\projects\livexp\easyboot  
Start winbuilder (read carefully instructions on my website how to handle script in winbuilder).

Run “easyboot-aio.script”. You have “help-button” in script. Use built in patcher for setupldr.bin in script.

Note: I’m working on a script that automatically makes this changes, followed by automatically copying folder i386 (with its new patched name) to easy boot\disk1 and also creating new patched boot-file (in folder ezboot) to be used as usual in easyboot; run ***.bin

Give me some time and I’ll see what I can do for you (I‘m terribly occupied for the moment) :O  In meantime, use patcher in script to patch your setupldr.bin against corruption.

Edited: Script to modify Windows-Live-builds (typically BartPE, Reatogo, ERD etcetera) is now now available for download :cool:  
Script “EasyBoot-LIVE” change name (and doing necessary hex editing) to chosen Windows-source (folder i386) to free up folder name i386 used in Live-applications, such as BartPE, Reatogo, ERD etcetera.
Script support Live-builds with sources from: Windows-2000/2000-server/WinXP (all versions)/server2003 with different service packs. WinXP_64-bit is not tested but works most likely!
Note: Script do not support Live-builds created using Vista as source!

Edit-2: Script “EasyBoot-LIVE” updated. Script can now run (test) ISO-file in qemu.

Edit-3: Found a bug :(  Fixed!
