I am making a WinXP Pro and 98 cd.  Win98 works great. Windows XP just sits at a black screen, with a cursor flashing in the upper left corner of the screen.


Any idea what is going on here?

Please test the bootable ISO by VMWare or Virtual PC, and see if it works or not.

The same thing happens in vitrual pc. I select WinXP Pro, and then it sits at a black screen with a flashing cursor in the upper left.


I have followed every instruction I could find to set up the WinXP part, and by what is posted here, and in the help file, it should work.

Thanks,

Please do it this way:
1) Uninstall EasyBoot and delete all files and folders under c:\easyboot directory
2) Re-setup EasyBoot
3) Start Easyboot, do not change anything but click 'Make ISO' button to create a bootable ISO
4) Test the ISO by Virtual PC, 'CDBOOT: Couldn't find NTLDR' should appear when run 'Setup Windows Xp Pro'
5) Copy I386 folder from orginal CD to c:\easyboot\disk1 as well as WIN51 and WIN51IP files
6) Create another ISO and test, it should work
