I made a multi-boot dvd using easy boot.
It consists of the following stuffs:

1.Windows XP Service Pack 3
2.Windows 7 (x86)
3.Boot from Hard Disk

The XP SP3 I migrated in this bootable dvd was modified using "nLite v1.4.9.1"
I customised XP to:

1. include zune theme
2. unattended setup (it doesn't ask for a CD-key)
3. includes a few windows updates

But after I made this bootable DVD, the above mentioned customisation doesn't take place.

Can anyone plz help me out???

@xero_fearstreet

I noticed that you have hex edit folder i386 to XPS3 as “BOOT-folder” and having folder i386 in “SYSTEM” – correct?
As you - at this point – only use one folder i386 on the root (folder disk1 is the root for easyboot if you wonder) please do it this way:

Copy your n-lighted build (files and folders) of WinXp-sp3 as it is (no hex edit) to folder disk1 (I mean use folder name i386) and use menu command in easyboot: run W2ksect.bin
(Check that you have W2ksect.bin in folder ezboot).

In above example you keep your n-lithed stuff in original shape – which improves posibilty that it works better.

Note: n-lithed source is known to cause troubles – hopefully it works better now.

Please xero_fearstreet – it’s not necessary to use 3 different topics to call attention to you question – therefore I deleted two of them and keep this important one – hope you don’t mind :;):

@xero_fearstreet

Let’s start with:

To integrate WinXP you copy folder i386 to easyboot\disk1
I told you to put the n-lighted version of folder i386 to easyboot\disk1

As I cannot see any folder i386 on the root -my question is – where are your folder i386 (the n-lighted one) ???

i 4got to copy winnt.sif (which contains all the customization protocols) to the root folder.

Once i did that, xp booted & was installed with all the n-lited stuff.

Anyways, thanx for listening & helping me out.

@xero_fearstreet

As told, copy folder i386 (the n-lighted one) to Easyboot\disk1
Make sure you use the “original” n-lighted folder i386 with “original” setupldr.bin inside folder i386.
Use W2ksect.bin as boot-file in menu (run W2ksect.bin in easyboot menu)
If you are not able to launch setup using W2ksect.bin – then there is something fundamental wrong :O

Do not check DOS(8:3) and do not check “Allow lower case” when creating ISO in easyboot

Question: this folder XPS3 – what’s the purpose with this folder?
Is folder XPS3 holding boot-files with a hex edit setupldr.bin inside folder XPS3?

By the way… Bed time…zzzzzz :;):
