MultiBoot Win xp sp3 Install problem: I created the multi boot dvd with win 7 , win xp, hiren,acronis, avira and kaspersky, etc.

If i load the win xp sp3 install option (i used the command: run xp.bin) , it gave me the error : "The file usbehci.sys file was not found , press any key to continue."

To make the winxp install i copied the I386 folder from original winxp cd . There is no problem while using the winxp cd to install , but it giving the problem with multiboot option.

what to do to solve this problem.

What do you mean with 'original' - is it WinXP without service-pack or is it WinXP_sp3 ???  
Because if you used nLite or similar product to integrate (slip-stream) service-pack_3 into WinXP, it might have mixed things up :O

Example how to slip-stream service-pack HERE

And HERE


DO NOT use method with nLite as described HERE


So what kind of source (WinXP) are you using ???

Another thing to remember is to NOT tick 'Optimize' when creating ISO-file in EasyBoot (only tick 'Joliet' and nothing else) :cool:

Hi, Balder, iam wondering for ur fast reply and thank u for support .

I used the win xp sp3 . If i run the same alone it runs smoothly . I copied the I386 from that cd and made the multiboot dvd. But here it shows that error:"file usbehci.sys not found ...." , . Previously i made the multiboot dvd consists of win xp sp3+ERDC + etc. That works without any problem. But here iam facing that problem. I am using the win vista sp2 and doing all thees things on that system.

If i see in I386 folder , there is a file usbechi.sy_ , but iam getting that error.?????

Yes it can be the case, but it must also be 'called' by the 'TXTSETUP.SIF' file and finally extracted :cool:  

Anyway... Could you please test using the 'original' WinXP - the one without service-pack (the real 'original' source of folder i386 without any service-packs) - see it as a experiment :;):

However, it could be related to the total size of your build (it sure is a pretty large build) and as larger it is as larger is the frequencies of problems that pops up :O
I know by expirence that large ISO-files do create problems when mixing all these files and folders together (though in theory it should work - but in reality - it creates problems) :(

Note: Make sure to only tick 'Joliet' when building ISO in EasyBoot and nothing else

Another way is to test building ISO with UltraIso
Inject all files and folders to UltraIso and use 'loader.bin' as boot-file in UltraIso

Test if the final ISO is working better that way :cool:

Hi, Balder , XpSp3 install problem solved

The total size of my multiboot dvd becomes to 4.7 GB  (win7+winxpsp3+Hiren 15.1+ActiveBoot5+AV Rescue+etc). :p

After testing all the available options based on the size , i can remove some of tools to fit on a single dvd.

All the experiments are doing with UltraIso , Ezboot, HexWorkshop and testing with VirtualBox software. :cool:

The used source for copying I386 folder is a tweaked one having added software of dotnet, IE8 , etc and slipstreamed by SP3.

I used the same for creating Multiboot Xp consists of XpSp3+ERDC+OOBC+Acronis+Dos+etc. There is no problem for that and i reconfirmed upon testing the same.

Solution: I tried in another way. I used another source of XpSp3 which was created by using "rvm integrator" tool and updates pack . I copied the I386 folder to root of my dvd and tested with VirtualBox . It runs perfectly without any problem. :p

So, what iam thinking is that, we should use the clean source for making all those things. :p

Thank u.

Great work @muppuri :;):

That's what I call a dedicated user of Easyboot :D

Exactly - 'right on the nail' so to speaking :)
Or at least we need to use a source with service-pack correctly integrated - the one you finally used :cool:

Anyway, you solved the whole problem your self - with some 'minor help' from me :)

Best regards
balder

You mentioned 'win7+winxpsp3+Hiren 15.1+ActiveBoot5+AV Rescue'
These examples already have its 'basic core' compressed ('wim-file' as example, used in ActiveBoo5.ISO)
Same to setup files used in Win7 and also same to winxp, which use 'cab' to compress files.

Unfortunately also Linux distro's have 'basic core' (typically 'filesystem.squashfs' or similar) already compressed :p

There is really not much we can do to reduce size of 'wanted systems' onboard the final build ???

I notice you used the ActiveBoot5.iso which is an excellent choice as it also have Ghost software built-in :;):

It seems that the availability of software that can be found on Internet is greater than the ability to physically fit in it to the DVD

You have to limit you choices....

However some unneeded files can temporarily be removed from EasyBoot build itself :cool:

Here is a trick I use:

When you are finished with your build and in position to create final ISO you do as follow:

1. Push on 'Save' to save all changes

2. Remove all BMP-files from folder 'EZBOOT to some temporary folder (don't remove BM1-files which is created and used by EasyBoot in the same moment you pressed 'Save')

3. Also remove all unnecessary files typically ' setup98.img' etcetera (if they are not used - then remove them to some temp folder some where)

4. You can now create ISO

Attention! You must copy back those BMP-pictures to folder 'EZBOOT' when ISO has been created - because next time you start EasyBoot - those background-pictures must be present in folder EZBOOT

Files that is needed in folder 'EZBOOT' at the point you push to 'Make ISO' is typically:

***.ezb-file(s) (several ezb-files if using sub menus)
'BM1-file(s)' (several if using several different backgrounds)
Note: as told, you still need the 'original' BMP-picture before pressing 'Save'
You can then temporary remove the 'original' BMP-picture
ezldr
isolinux
loader.bin
syslinux

memdisk (only needed if you use 'memdisk-command' in your menu build)
bcdw.bin (only needed if you use 'bcdw-command' in your menu build)

This amount of files is all that is needed to make the build run from both CD\DVD-unit as from USB drive

Another thing you shall do is to update 'memdisk', 'syslinux' and 'isolinux' files.
Do as follows: Open folder 'EasyBoot\resource' and copy 'memdisk', 'syslinux' and 'isolinux' to folder EZBOOT overwriting existing files


Hopefully this can be to some help :)


regards balder
