I did quite a few searches and none of them answered the big question.. what about the AMD64 folder? they all say do the same as the others for I386 but that leaves out any AMD pcs.
Also if balder is around i was kinda confused.. i loved the scripts to automate the AIO process. but in the documentation it says it will work for xp x64 but the scripts description says no support. Am i missing something?

As this seems to be you first post in this forum I say welcome

Well I have no AMD-computer to test to – but in theory it should work 
The AMD64 folder is copied as well (what I can recall in my memory) but again – haven’t personally tested on an AMD-computer.
However, no harm testing script (use a CD-RW to not spoil anything).
Quote: “but the scripts description says no support”
Well yes and no 
XP-64 is supported in the “AIO.script” but I’m unsure if it fully works for the “Live.script”.
I guess it’s up to you to test if it works all right

Not sure what im doing wrong.. i have gotten Pro, Home and MCE working with a retail and oem version on there.
When i try to use the aio script for the x64 version it gives an error saying that it cannot be run from here. im assuming that when it tries to run the setup it cant due to the fact im using xp x86. Xp Pro x64 is all that is keeping this thing from finished.. I have made an attempt to do it manually with instructions i found on msfn by copying over the i386 folder and renaming it PX64 and AMD64 folder as PX64A. I then did the crack on the setupldr.bin and replaced i386 with PX64 and AMD64 with PX64A
I finally just got it to load the setup and i have an AMD chip to test on hopefully vmware emulates AMD to force it to use that. But it loads setup and then asks for a previous version disk or it wont upgrade. It is treating it like an upgrade disk when the image i used is the newest XP Pro x64 from Technet/MSDN. Not sure how to fix that.. trying with the original to see if it does the same now.

Well that’s good news. And yes, I new that it was something with XP-64 that I was unable to solve – could be related to the “AMD-problem-folder”.
However I cannot for the moment exactly pin point why I couldn’t find a fix for that one.
He, he I guess I have to many projects working inside my head 
But as you do not use any folder “i386” on the root (folder disk1 is the root for EasyBoot in case you wonder) you have space for such folder
Copy the build of XP64 to folder disk1 (without renaming folder i386) and integrate the rest of Windows systems (Pro and Home SP3 including oem and retails) using my script.
Thanks for clarifying that script works as supposed - including what system we cannot use it for (XP64).
I know by experience that these types of tests take time and efforts - thanks
Regards balder

I have been trying to extensivly test all of them now, double checking that my Home and Pros are still working.
Im not sure if it would help your script but if you were to reverse engineer the script used here i think you could fix it properly.. The script comes with some other stuff but its just a few bat files mostly. It does work with the x64 editions of xp as well as win 2003 server and 1 other.
I believe it has to do an extra hack on the sif files i believe for 64 bit but my directory structure on my disk looks like this
>EZBOOT\ (duh!)
>HOEM - home oem
>HRTL - home retail
>ORIG - (contains same folders but with original cd contents)
>PMCE - pro mce
>POEM - pro oem
>PRTL - pro retail
>PTPC - pro Tablet edition
>PVLK - pro VL
>PX64 (Formerly I386 of xp x64)
>PX64A (Formerly AMD64)
>WIN51, WIN51AP, WIN51IC, WIN51IC.SP3, WIN51IP, WIN51IP.SP2, WIN51IP.SP3
That script not only replaces i386 with PX64 for the xp x64 but also replaces AMD64 with PX64A inside the bin and sif files that corrects any path and missing file issues for amd chips.
Can verify that at least xp 64 works with this method.
one question about eazyboot that i couldnt find a good answer to though.. The optimize checkbox.. how does that work and what exactly does it do? my isos are only 1.99GB including all the original disk files in the orig folder. the original files alone on hard drive are 2-3 gigs

also.. i found that when i removed the orig folder before making the iso that i would get asked for the upgrade cds like before.. leaving that folder seems to be the trick.. maybe you can tell me why?
