Run several OS setups from one DVD
==============================================

I have seen in several posts,requesting about having windowses vista and
windows xp setups together.this is easy job,because most of the process needed
to do is writed in EasyBoot help file.and we need just some considerations
for using windows vista.

Any way I have tested operating systems below:

Windows vista (I tested by vista home lite version 2).
Windows XP sp2 Origional English
Windows XP sp2 Customized

Step_1:
=======

1. Copy All contents of you Vista bootable DVD (or CD for lite version) to
...EasyBoot\disk1 directory.

2. Make directories below in ...EasyBoot\disk1 directory:

...EasyBoot\disk1\SYS
...EasyBoot\disk1\SYS\XPEN
...EasyBoot\disk1\SYS\MYXP

3. Copy all contents of "Windows XP sp2 Origional English" to
...EasyBoot\disk1\SYS\XPEN

4. Copy all contents of "Windows XP sp2 Customized" to
...EasyBoot\disk1\SYS\MYXP

5. Copy files below from One of XP CDs to ...EasyBoot\disk1\ Directory (you will
need to copy other files too if you want to have win 2000 or 2003 setups too):

WIN51
WIN51IP
WIN51IP.SP1
WIN51IP.SP2

Step_2:
=======

1_ Make another directory by the name of "XPEN" inside ...EasyBoot\disk1\
directory and Copy just "I386" Directory of "Windows XP sp2 Origional English" CD
inside it.

2_ Make another directory by the name of "MYXP" inside ...EasyBoot\disk1\
directory and Copy just "I386" Directory of "Windows XP sp2 Customized" CD inside it.

3_ Copy "wxp.bat" from ...\EasyBoot\resource directory to
...EasyBoot\disk1\XPEN directory an run it.after a while you will have
some other files and directories inside ...EasyBoot\disk1\XPEN directory
Now you can delete "i386" directory from ...EasyBoot\disk1\XPEN directory.

4_ Do just as above for ...EasyBoot\disk1\MYXP directory then delete "i386"
directory from ...EasyBoot\disk1\MYXP directory.

5. Make two copies from ...\EasyBoot\disk1\ezboot\w2ksect.bin in this directory then
rename one of the copies to "XPEN.BIN" and other to "MYXP.BIN"

Step_3
========

If we burn our DVD just by files above,it will not be bootable,because files are not placed
in standard format.so We need to edit few files in "BOOT" directory ,to say to system,where
to find boot files for each windows and how to run them.

1_ Open ...\EasyBoot\disk1\ezboot\XPEN.BIN by your favorite hex editor,Search for string
"i386" on it and replace all instances by the word "XPEN".and save it.

2_ Do the same process by file ...\EasyBoot\disk1\XPEN\SETUPLDR.BIN and save that.

3_ Open ...\EasyBoot\disk1\XPEN\TXTSETUP.SIF" by notepad, search for "SetupSourcePath" section,
you will see that it is as:

SetupSourcePath = "\"

change that to:

SetupSourcePath = "\SYS\XPEN"

4_ Do the same processES 1 TO 3 for "Windows XP sp2 Customized" ,just use string "MYXP" in
hex editing and address below:

SetupSourcePath = "\SYS\MYXP"

You should Do the same process if you want to have other windowses,Just note that:

Step_4
========

iN eASYbOOT USE COMMANDS BELOW:

(FOR SETUP OF WINDOWS VISTA)-->run vistaldr.bin
(FOR SETUP OF WINDOWS XP ORIG)-->run XPEN.BIN
(FOR SETUP OF WINDOWS XP CUSTOMIZED)-->run MYXP.BIN

======================
Notes:
=======
1.I used HexEdit for editing BIN files and used XPEN and MYXP (Uppercase) in them.

2.I have named All folders in Disk1 in Uppercase (i mean MYXP,SYS,XPEN folders and also SYS\MYXP and SYS\XPEN)

=============================
THATA ALL,I checked it by vmware was OK.
