hihi,I'm trying to get an XP multiboot DVD going.
Keep getting the DirMove - Failed to move directory [C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT] to: [D:\Easyboot\disk1]: The operation completed successfully
same as in < this > post.
I'm using stock XP disks, no USB drives plugged in, i386 folders are in D:\AIODVD\XPHO and setup like < this > in WinBuilder.
It didn't show up in the screenshot but I've got Disconnect unattended installation ticked.
I don't want any unattended fancy stuff, just the stock install disks, am I right in saying the problem is something to do with the unattended section?

@Russell CoightQuote: “Keep getting the DirMove”
My script collection updated
Easyboot-aio.script uses now a different (simplified) solution to create “boot-folder”
Special thank you to @danieliser for doing basic test to script – thanks @danieliser
Please do a complete new download as scripts been heavily updated (especially “aio.script”)

Looks like the link in your signature is broken.

I don’t think its any problem with the link itself – it is related to server < www.mediafire.com > that seems down for the moment
I have never seen this problem to this rather big host provider – we have to wait and hope server soon is back “in business”

Yep site problem, working now.I'm getting the error below
FileCopy - Failed to copy [D:\Easyboot\disk1\XPHO.bin] to: [D:\Easyboot\disk1\ezboot]
But the file is actually in \ezboot.
I've got run XPHO.bin in EasyBoot but an error pops up when launching
CDBOOT: Couldn't find NTLDR
In WinBuilder, I've got disconnect unattended installation ticked and internal winnt.sif ticked but with no CD key inserted, is this OK?
If I tick Optimise in Make ISO of EasyBoot, will this reduce the size of the ISO?
thanks

@Russell CoightAttention! I think you are right about Quote: “Couldn't find NTLDR”
Seems to be some kind of bug – checking it out…
-------------------------------------------------------
Quote: “Failed to copy….”
Let me express it this way
This can only happen if you try to run script a second time using same folder name (in your case XPHO).
To rerun script using same name to folder i386 (in your example XPHO) then make sure you in folder “disk1” delete folder XPHO and folder XPHO that is in folder “setup” as well.
Script cannot use the same name to folders twice
Note: I’m going to modify script so it automatically checks that same folder name isn’t already used.
Quote: “unattended installation”
Unattended is no problem and cannot interfere to the process

Yes it reduce size
Scripts updated – please do new download
Script now also check if folder name already is used in easyboot
Note: I’m trying to test XP-64-bit but my computer is a 32-bit – so I cannot guarantee that it works for XP-64-bit.
It’s possible we all together must rework some parts for 64-bit to work fully out.
However the XP-32-bit seems to work really nice – as far as I have tested
Test and see

I'm still getting the FileCopy - Failed to copy [D:\Easyboot\disk1\XPHO.bin] to: [D:\Easyboot\disk1\ezboot]
error.

After running the script, there's only an XPHO folder in D:\EasyBoot\disk1\setup, not another one in \disk1
The script doesn't complain that there's already an XPHO folder. I even created an empty D:\Easyboot2 folder to test again, same error pops up.
Would the entire log help?

@Russell CoightLet’s start with updated script
Note: script updated for just a couple of minutes ago – script is rather complicated and might still have some bug – please download the whole set of script

Sorry to say it mate but the same thing is happening. I tried to re-run the script, let it overwrite the fodler, same error pops ups.

@Russell CoightQuote: “[D:\Easyboot\disk1\XPHO.bin] to: [D:\Easyboot\disk1\ezboot]”
Reason to this is that folder XPHO isn’t created.
Note: Folder is created by this script from < HERE >
Why folder not created in you case - I do not understand. I have tested to WinXP_sp2 and to WinXP-64-bit and have no problems.
You can test using tutorial < HERE > (Ghosh).
If even not the “noreboot”-command works - creating two folders: one folder "$WIN_NT$.~BT" and one folder "$WIN_NT$.~LS" then your problem is not related to any script – it is something else
The originally script use this simple “noreboot”-command and your source\computer failed to create folder "$WIN_NT$.~BT" – this is for me a “sign” that there is some “fundamental” problem I cannot figure out
Sorry if you cannot do it the fully automatically way

No worries thanks for your efforts.You only need to copy the i386 folder from the install CD's yeah?
I've been testing with an XP Home SP2 OEM i386 folder from an original disk, should be fine?

Is anyone else getting the same error? Is it working for anyone?
