Forum: EasyBoot Topic: WinXP - *don't* "press any key" started by: Gork Posted by Gork on May 16 2004,02:02
I have quite the bootable DVD going here. After a lot of "messing around" and MUCH reading through this forum I have six items on my boot menu: Win98, Win98SE, Ghost, WinXP, IBM Disk Manager and Bart's PE. VERY nice. Once I was able to figure this stuff out so I *knew* it would work, I went ahead and purchased the software - well worth the money.There is one thing I haven't been able to figure out still. It seems like I might have read the answer to this question somewhere in this forum at one point, but I can't find the answer ANYWHERE again. Now that WinXP setup is started through the EasyBoot menu, I no longer need it to say, "press any key to boot from CD." To fix this on the Win98 and SE installation CDs I simply removed the file "jo.sys." How can I disable this feature on the WinXP setup process though? Posted by xoben on May 16 2004,04:01
Some older boot file of Windows NT 4.0 setup CD does not prompt this kind of message, I will find it or provide a *modified* w2ksect.bin soon.

Thanks for the reply. I just barely figured out the fix, though. Yea! I just deleted the file BOOTFIX.BIN (I actually renamed it to BOOTFIX.OLD) in the \I386 directory (which is where I store the WinXP installation files for EasyBoot). I KNOW I've read how to do this before, 'cuz now that I figured it out I kind of remember.
