[launching cdshell from dos?]

Thanks, I see what you mean, makes sense now.

Didnt think of combining images that way. I guess you would just "inject" the appropriate files then.

[launching cdshell from dos?]

does anyone know if there is a way to relaunch cdshell once you have been kicked to dos? for example, if i run free fdisk to setup up a drive and decide i may want to run a drive test after fdisk, fdisk will quit to dos once finished, is there a way to bring up cdshell again to go through the menus?

I have looked through the forums for cdshell....lots of info there but nothing that seems to pertain to this

Thanks

[registering alcohol 120% with .reg file]

Worked great !!!

Thanks alot.

[registering alcohol 120% with .reg file]

Anyone have any ideas?

This is driving me nuts... as far as i know it should work, alcohol seems to wanna reboot which is were the problem might be. If i import the reg file after it reboots, everything works. Woulb be nice to have it run in the unattend though

Any suggestions?

[Win 2000 in AIO-DVD]

great,

I have one more question to add to this, in the svcpack.inf file theres a section

for :

[ProductCatalogsToInstall]

K######.cat

What is this for and is it needed?

[registering alcohol 120% with .reg file]

Sorry if this has been addressed, I have done a search but cant find the answer

I have alcohol 120% installing in winxp from a batch file

ECHO.

ECHO Installing Alcohol 120 v

ECHO Please wait...

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\alcohol 120\setup.exe /qn

Which works, then a reg file to register it after

ECHO.

ECHO Reigistering alcohol 120....

REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Applications\alcohol 120\asoft.reg

Reg file looks like this

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Alcohol Soft\Alcohol 120%\Info]"UserName"="ziggy"

"Company"=""

"SerialNo"="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

The program installs, reg file gets imported, but when i reboot i get the "this is a trial version" and have to run the reg file agin to get it registerd,

Anyone see any thing i'm missing?

[Win 2000 in AIO-DVD]

haha oops

yes thats what i meant

For windows 2000 can i use :

[setupHotfixesToRun]

KB123456.exe /Q /Z /N

KB13579.exe /Q /Z /N

Qchain.exe

In my svcpack.inf file

Still learning, Got win xp working great....now on to win2000

Thanks for the help

[Win 2000 in AIO-DVD]

adding the CDROMSP4.TST seems to work,

Thanks

Also, does anyone know if adding hotfixes to winxp is the same as in windows xp?

[Win 2000 in AIO-DVD]

oh ok

I know what i did wrong now, I copied all the files except CDROMSP4.TST

The first time....WOW alot of trouble for a 0 byte file with nothing iin it.

Just to test i removed the CDROMSP4.TST, made an image and the the " please insert your service pack 4 cd into drive A: ' lol, odd error CD= Drive A:

*shrug* oh well i know where therror came from now

Thanks again works GREAT!!

Now i just gotta think of more things to add

I noticed on http://flyakite.msfnhosting.com/ under Win2000 sp4 section that

The file CDROMSP4.TST is'nt listed

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finishing Up

Navigate to your setup folder \AIO-DVD\SETUP\2000\Professional\ and copy (not move) the following files into the root folder, AIO-DVD.

readme.doc

spnotes.htm

cdrom_nt.5

cdrom_is.5 (2000 Server only)

cdrom_ia.5 (2000 Advance Server only)

cdrom_ip.5 (2000 Professional only)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maybe something to add, seems important.

[Win 2000 in AIO-DVD]

Think I got it

SetupSourcePath = "\SETUP\2000\Professional\" in txtsetup.sif which should be looking for setup files..

I found 3 IDENT files, TRIDENT.SY_ , MSIDENT.DL_ and IDENT.HL_

Hopefully these are correct, There the only ones with IDENT

Thanks for the help

[Win 2000 in AIO-DVD]

Sorry forgot to add something

when I make the iso file with cd image i get

WARNING: These two files are identical for the first 65536 bytes, but differ

at some point beyond that. This could be intentional, but it might indicate

that one of these two source files is corrupt:

D:\AIO-DVD\PRO1\SETUPLDR.BIN

D:\AIO-DVD\SETUP\XP\PROFESSIONAL\I386\SETUPLDR.BIN

Which is ok because win xp works.... shouldnt i get the same for win 2000 exept in there respective directories?

[Win 2000 in AIO-DVD]

Ok now i'm really confused...

I got Windows 2000 to work but, I copied The entire 1386 folder from

D:\AIO-DVD\SETUP\2000\PROFESSIONAL and copied it to D:\AIO-DVD\2PRO

so some where its pointing to D:\AIO-DVD\2PRO Which i think is why it couldnt find

the files before, maybe in the setupltr.bin file?

[Win 2000 in AIO-DVD]

hey there, I'm building my AIO-DVD with Server 2003, XP Pro and 2000. And except for the 2000 setup, everything's perfect.

When I try to install Windows 2000 Professional, at the beggining of the Setup it asks me for Service Pack 4 CD-ROM.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong since I've followed the guide. The only thing I didn't do was to copy the file spnotes.htm to the AIO-DVD folder.

Does anybody has a solution or some trick to solve this?

PS - I've used the method 4 to create the boot folder (2PRO)

tks guys

I'm in the same boat, keeps prompting me to insert sp4

My structure is the same as mavericks choice, not sure what i'm missing

I copied the whole cd to hard drive then, slipstreamed sp 4, which said was successful, ran through winnt32.exe, changed $WIN_NT$.~BT to 2PRO

and deleted $WIN_NT$.~LS (no info that it needs to be kept) and hex edited the required files, all ok so far. When I make the ISO, it boots, starts the install

then prompts for sp4 disk

I did the exact same for XP pro slipstreamed sp1, works great

win 98 works as well, and all the dos utilities I added, ghost, partition magic and a few others, I must have made 25 images so far with the same result, any ideas?

What am I missing?
