Help!

How  can I make multi boot DVD with 2 WinXP Pro Eng and Swe ?
Becouse thay have same boot files (WIN51,WIN51IP).

Help! :(

WIN51 and WIN51IP are CD signature files, there are same for different languages. So this is not a problem.

     and Eng files

 O.K. 1) make sub-directory 'wxpe' in "C:\EasyBoot\disk1"
            make sub-directory 'wxps' in "C:\EasyBoot\disk1"

           SETUPXPPS.EXE from Win XP Pro SP1 Eng to

           all 'I386' to 'WXPE',
           and SETUPXPPS.EXE  by UltraEdit, change all 'I386'
           to 'WXPS'

 O.K. 4) modify "C:\EasyBoot\disk1\ezboot\w2ksect.bin" by
           UltraEdit, change all 'I386' to 'WXPE' and  
           save it as 'wxpe.bin' modify copy of          
           C:\EasyBoot\disk1\ezboot\w2ksect.bin"
           by UltraEdit, change all 'I386' to
           'WXPS' and save it as 'wxps.bin'

           commentary:
           I find one entry:“SETUPLDR.BINBOOTFIX.BINI386”
           I change to:“SETUPLDR.BINBOOTFIX.BINWXPE“
           Is that O.K. ????
                         
O.K.  5) copy boot files from C:\EasyBoot\disk1

           but files like setupldr.bin and
           Textsetup.sif is not on
           C:\EasyBoot\disk1\wxpe or
           C:\EasyBoot\disk1\wxps they is stil on
           C:\EasyBoot\disk1\wxpe\i386 or  
           C:\EasyBoot\disk1\wxps\i386

   use 'run wxps.bin' to setup Windows XP Pro Swe

3. make ISO image with EasyBoot program
4. Burn DVD with Nero 6.3

My advice:

1) Keep Sweden version unchanged. That say copy i386 folder and WIN51, WIN51IP files to disk1\  directly, and use 'run w2ksect.bin' as command line
2) Add a English version XP and modify files as needed

commentary: I run wxp.bat (copy boot files from

          but files like setupldr.bin and
          Textsetup.sif is not on
          C:\EasyBoot\disk1\wxpe  they is stil on
          C:\EasyBoot\disk1\wxpe\i386

The new batch file (form < http://www.ezbsys.com/download/wxp.zip) > works for English version XP. It need more days to test other native language XPs.

You can copy all files and system32 folder under I386 directory to wxpe, BUT KEEP ORIGINAL I386 UNCHANGED, then modify files as needed.

This problem is very strange. Please change 'wxpe' to 'axpe', and try it out again.

Sorry ... It is better to emulate by VMWare or test with DVD-RW first.

Here is my step by step operation for adding Windows XP (English version):
1) Make a folder named 'xpen' under 'c:\easyboot\disk1'
2) Copy 'win51' and 'win51p' (from root directory of original CD) to 'c:\easyboot\disk1'
3) Copy I386 folder to 'c:\easyboot\disk1\xpen'
4) Download wxp.zip from < http://www.ezbsys.com/download/wxp.zip, > extract wxp.bat to 'c:\easyboot\disk1\xpen', and run it there
5) Copy w2ksect.bin in 'c:\easyboot\disk1\ezboot' to a new file xpen.bin
6) Start EasyBoot 4.56, click 'Tools'->'Replace Text', browse file 'c:\easyboot\disk1\ezboot\xpen.bin', and specify 'I386' as "Text to Replace", 'XPEN' as "Replace to", then click 'Replace', 1 occurence should be replaced
7) Do step 6 to 'c:\easyboot\disk1\xpen\setupldr.bin', and replace 'i386' to 'xpen', 4 occurences should be replaced
8) Open 'c:\easyboot\disk1\xpen\txtsetup.sif' by NotePad (or UltraEdit), search for 'SetupSourcePath', and change [SetupSourcePath = "\"] to [SetupSourcePath = "\XPEN"]
9) Set the first menu command as 'run xpen.bin'
10) Save menu file
11) Click 'Make ISO' to generate 'c:\easyboot\iso\mycd.iso'
12) Test mycd.iso by VMWare or burn it to CD-RW
13) It works

You can slipstream SP1 before making an bootable DVD, please make sure the file .sp1 is in root directory.
