I have quite the bootable DVD going here.  After a lot of "messing around" and MUCH reading through this forum I have six items on my boot menu:  Win98, Win98SE, Ghost, WinXP, IBM Disk Manager and Bart's PE.  VERY nice.  Once I was able to figure this stuff out so I *knew* it would work, I went ahead and purchased the software - well worth the money.

There is one thing I haven't been able to figure out still.  It seems like I might have read the answer to this question somewhere in this forum at one point, but I can't find the answer ANYWHERE again.  Now that WinXP setup is started through the EasyBoot menu, I no longer need it to say, "press any key to boot from CD."  To fix this on the Win98 and SE installation CDs I simply removed the file "jo.sys."  How can I disable this feature on the WinXP setup process though?

Some older boot file of Windows NT 4.0 setup CD does not prompt this kind of message, I will find it or provide a *modified* w2ksect.bin soon.

Thanks for the reply.  I just barely figured out the fix, though.  Yea!  I just deleted the file BOOTFIX.BIN (I actually renamed it to BOOTFIX.OLD) in the \I386 directory (which is where I store the WinXP installation files for EasyBoot).  I KNOW I've read how to do this before, 'cuz now that I figured it out I kind of remember.
