How to make WinXp Installation Bootable in DVD
I have a CD which consists of;
1. Bootable windows XP installation RU1
2. Microsoft OfficeXp 2003
3. Microsoft Frontpage XP
4. Xp softwares and applications

All CDs are are to be burned into one DVD disk and I want this DVD to have a Windows XP boot system (bootable DVD windows Xp installation) and other softwares as I mentioned above. Could you guide me through a step-by-step procedure to make a bootable DVD?
Tools that I have installed in my PC are DVD writer SOHW812 and recording software Nero 6.03.
I have tried 3 times to burn a bootable DVD but I have always failed.
The steps that I have taken to make a bootable DVD are as follows:
1. I created windows xp bootable floopy disk comsisting of 6 disks.
2. I inserted a blank DVD in the DVD writer drive, then I run Nero 6.03.
The next step I took are:
1. click the icoon boot disk in Nero then Nero ask for image disk 1.
2. I inserted floppy disk 1 (after I inserted disk 1, why didn't Nero ask for disk 2?)
3. Then I burned the other applications.
4. After the burning of all applications is completed, I tried to boot from the DVD.
5. At first DVD was able to boot but then it ask me to insert disk 2 into floppy disk drive. Why is that so?

Thank you very much for your help. I would be expecting your prompt response.

Regard

shurid,

I have followed your post for a 98/200/XP 3 in 1 CD to the letter, but have the following problems...

Win98 - Works fine :)

Win2K - Setup Runs fine, but on first reboot when the GUI setup starts, I am prompted to insert the Win 2000 CD. It is looking for the files in D:\i386. I can change the path to look in D:\WN2K, but have to do it for every file. :(

WinXP - Setup fails. Just after the F6 for additional drivers, it then prompts me to insert the Win XP Home SP1 CD in Drive A: !!! :(

If anyone has any ideas, I would be very grateful.

Thanks

Tim

I am having similar problem when I try to install Server 2003 I get a BSD "Process1_Initialization_Failed"
I corrected the typo in w2003.bat "mkdir system32" worked ok for me.
Did you use w2ksect.bin or the boot image from your Server 2003 cd?
Also my cd doesn't have CDROM_IS.?
it has WP51IS only.

Hi,

I am trying to create a 4n1 Dvd (xp, w98, network boot and Server 2003 standard). Everyting works except Server 2003
it gives me a BSD "Process1_Initialization_Failed" when I try
to install 2003. I used w2ksect.bin and w2003.bat as suggested in easyboot manual.

I was wondering if you have solved your problem or have any
suggestion to mine.

Thanks,

Options according to different OS using EasyBoot…

Well, this is rather long…

Please note that this is a generally example how to create a DOS-environment using Easyboot together with “standard-bootfloppy-image”.
-----------------------------------------------
Example 1.
Create a folder in EasyBoot\disk1 (in this example: “xp_pro” Note: 8 letters or less). Copy all stuff from CD containing WinXPpro, to “xp_pro”-folder.
It should now look like this:  EasyBoot\disk1\xp_pro\i386  (with bootfont.bin, folders, in fact every thing WinXPpro-CD contains).  

Now use WinXP (or WinMe, Win98) to create a bootable floppy, or download from Internet.
In this example boot floppy was made thru WinXP-pro.

Note: I have left out country codes, they are automatically inserted in an appropriated way when WinXP creates the boot floppy. No problems with them. And second, this bootfloppy are designed to start OS-installation on HD C:

You still need to do some changes in autoexec.bat and config.sys. You also need to insert two other files on this boot floppy. The two files are: VIDE-CDD.SYS (or similar) and MSCDEX (or similar).
In the example I also use unattended installation and smartdrive (speeds up installation).
The unattend.txt-file (unattend.txt) is automatically copied to C: This file may later be deleted (when installation is finished).
However Autoexec.bat should look like this:

loadhigh MSCDEX /D:MSCD001 /L:X
Rem delete next line (“a:\smartdrv.exe”) if you are not able to find smartdrive
a:\smartdrv.exe
rem delete next line (“copy a:unattend.txt c:”) to avoid unattended installation
copy a:unattend.txt c:
PATH=a:\;a:\dos;x:
set SetupFiles=x:\winxp\i386
rem delete last part of next line “/u:C:\unattend.txt” to avoid unattended installation
X:\winxp\I386\winnt /s:%SetupFiles% /u:C:\unattend.txt

--------------------------------------------------
Config.sys should look like this:

DOS=HIGH,UMB
buffers=40
device=display.sys con=(ega,,1)
DEVICE=VIDE-CDD.SYS /D:MSCD001

Example 2.
Want some more OS on EasyBoot? Well just create a new folder with different name and put your different OS (all stuff from CD) to this new folder, like this: EasyBoot\disk1\xphome\i386  In this example, I have created a new folder, named xphome, and then just copied every thing from WinXPhome-CD to this “xphome”-folder. But I have to change two paths in Autoexec.bat from “xp_pro” to “xphome”. Then create a new boot-image witch later will be used as bootimage in EasyBoot.
Autoexec should look like this according to this second example
Note: Two lines are changed, line 6 and 8:

loadhigh MSCDEX /D:MSCD001 /L:X
Rem delete next line (“a:\smartdrv.exe”) if you are not able to find smartdrive
a:\smartdrv.exe
rem delete next line (“copy a:unattend.txt c:”) to avoid unattended installation
copy a:unattend.txt c:
PATH=a:\;a:\dos;x:
set SetupFiles=x:\xphome\i386
rem delete last part of next line “/u:C:\unattend.txt” to avoid unattended installation
X:\ xphome \I386\winnt /s:%SetupFiles% /u:C:\unattend.txt
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Make different floppy-images according to examples above. Images like this: xphome.ima (installing xphome) and xp_pro.ima (installing WinXPpro) or what ever you want to name this images to). Use it as usual in EasyBoot (“run xphome.ima” and/or “run xp_pro.ima” ).
The same with Win2000, Win2000-server and so on. Just remember, name of the directory (folder) must be maximum 8 letters, like “2000ser” or “2000pro”.

Note: You do not need to do any changes in config.sys. Only the path in Autoexec.bat (line 6 and 8) in case you want to achieve “super-multi-install options” according to different OS.
Download Winimage from: http://www.winimage.com/ or use UltraISO to create the bootable image (images) using those different “boot floppy” as source.
Use images in Easyboot to start different WinXP\WinHome\2000 installations or whatever.

I also use smarddrive (command showed in Autoexec.bat “smartdrv.exe”). Download smartdrive from Internet or from an old bootfloppy. It’s a good idea to use smartdrive (speeds up installation-procedure).
As you can figure out above, the CD/DVD-reader unit is “renamed” with a DOS-command to letter X. That means you have to start from unit one of CD/DVD-readers, not the second unit (in case there are several CD/DVD units).  
In this example VIDE-CDD.SYS is used to support CD/DVD-reader in DOS, and of course MSCDEX . You may need/use (or own) another SYS-file supporting your CD/DVD-reader, but you always need MSCDEX (or similar) in autoexec.bat to support CD/DVD-reader in DOS.

Sorry about my fragmented English – hope you don’t mind?
