Hello All,

Is there any way to stop the "Press any key to boot from CD" nag? I have created the boot CD and tested it in the VM and it works awesomely. Thank you for all your help by the way. The only thing that I can't seem to get around is the "Press any key" nag.  Is there a way to bypass this?

Thank you once again.

Nirliq

Sure there is :;):
I agree it is a very annoying behaviour :angry:
Question is what kind of build (or ISO) we are dealing with ???

Anyway... Always look for a file called 'BOOTFIX.BIN'
Remove this file and it is fixed :cool:

Hi Balder,

I have a Win7 Preinstall environment and I expect I will be setting one up for Windows 8 in a few days. Sometimes my attention strays and I would like the PE to just boot then wait for me to come back and continue the install process.  Easyboot really helps a lot.  :)

Thanks for your help.

Nirliq.

Let me put it this way... :)
WinPE based on NT6-system can directly be launched in EasyBoot using this method:

1. Copy ISO-file of that WinPE to folder EZBOOT

2. Use menu command in EasyBoot menu:   run ***.iso

3. Tick 'Joliet' when creating final ISO in EasyBoot

Note: Vista, Win7, Win8 and server-2008 is typically NT6-systems.
-------------------------------------

And to stop the "Press any key to boot from CD" nag in that particular ISO-file, do as follow:

A. Open ISO-file (I use UltraIso) and go into folder 'boot'.

B. Delete file 'bootfix.bin' in folder 'boot'

C. Save changes to ISO-file

Note: UltraIso creates a backup of the modified ISO-file in case you want to return to original shape of that ISO-file (you can of course later delete this unneeded backup of ISO-file)
:cool:

regards balder
