Does somebody know how to make it bootable ( like XP ) ?There's no I386 Directory but a directory name Sources is surely the same ( maybe microsoft change the name only, or maybe there's another reason ) !!
No txtsetup.sif and setupldr.bin !
There's surely some files that need to be modified !!!
For booting, there's a bootfix.bin in the boot directory, do we use this one or something else ?
I'm asking because i'm not the only one who want to know, is been two days now i'm trying, but maybe there's someone who's trying also !!
So i've open this topic for finding a solution to make it bootable with easyboot !!!
When it will be done, i'll make a step by step procedure of making it bootable !!!
Thanks to everyone who will participate !!!!

The link is good, clearly explain !!! But i don't understant what that section mean !!!!Renaming the CD Shell Folder
Longhorn has a seperate boot folder already on the cd. This makes things a little easier, except for the fact that it is named BOOT which is what the base folder for the new version of CD Shell is now called. So, we have to rename one of the folders. I've tried renaming the Longhorn boot folder and it is much more complex than I would like to deal with, so we are going to rename the CD Shell folder.
Rename the CD Shell folder from BOOT to CDSH.
Now copy the BOOT folder from the Longhorn cd into the AIO-DVD folder.
What is that CD Shell Folder
Can someone can explain it more clearly, i'm not perfect in english but i'm doing my best !!!Thanks !

CDSHELL is another boot loader like EasyBoot.Don't pay attention to the 2 sections regarding CDSHELL, they don't apply to Easyboot...

Ok ! I try what you says Hulk ! But when i try different way, it tell me: "Could'n not find ntldr" or a "ntdetect" error thing !!I've extract the boot sector from the CD, and i use the Pro1.dat from the link !!! Must i use the w2ksector.bin from XP ? Is those file are ok with longhorn ?
Maybe is something i didn't understand carefully on the link ??
#1 I've copy Sources and Boot folder in Easyboot\disk1\horn\ ( like we did for 2000, Xp, etc.. ) !
#2 I've put the boot sector in ezboot\horn.bin ( i've try also with pro1.dat ) !!!
Can you give me a little step by step ?
If i make it work, i'll make the step by step procedure, except if your's is perfect !!!
Thanks a lot again !!!!
