[Windows XP, 2003, vista & Linux in Multiboot DVD]

The point is, I have the ISO. But I didn't create it. I'm trying to look into the mechanism and build a decent version with boot GUI.

Though I'm still trying to find the file that boots the XP setup, may need some help.. One OS at a time..

boot.html

[Windows XP, 2003, vista & Linux in Multiboot DVD]

Shame nobody seems to know.. was hoping for a guide or something that could help. I have a multiboot xp/vista/ubuntu but it's outdated.

[XP hates me..]

I got a SATA HD, but i can give IDE support from bios, as it seems to work without SATA drivers. Though thats where the error-after-first-reboot starts showing up.

[XP hates me..]

Well guys i've been facing alot of problems this week, the main problem is getting XP to run without having to format after rebooting.

2 errors i got after 8 formats and 4 fresh installations:

Diskerror, CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart the system (or something similar)

And no harddrive detected on XP installation, even with slipstreamed SATA/RAID drivers. I got no clue why, the only thing i did lately was updating my BIOS software and replacing my old 1.25 GB RAM with 2 GB. (HD: Seagate Barracuda 200GB 7200.7 (ST3200822AS)).

Everytime i run without SATA/RAID drivers the harddisk gets detected and i install XP just as normally, then boot up for the second part and everything seems to turn out fine. Then i boot up XP to install some drivers and basic software, then reboot to complete it. Then i get the error about Diskerror.

I hope this makes any sense cause i'm out of idea's.

PS. I also hope i placed this in the right section, if not then my topic can be moved to right place.

Greetings

[HD not detected?]

Nope my system is normal factory settings, i didn't bother overclocking cause i know what things can happen when it's failing. Did change my ram lately from 256+1GB DDR to 2x 1GB DDR2, somehow i dont understand that cause i havnt had any errors before the usb setup.

System crashed now as of 1 day after working with it. Gonna try getting the usb setup to install again, hopefully it'll work.

[HD not detected?]

I forgot that i had updated my bios lately, i had some settings adjusted and it ran the setup like a dream. Tough the usb is pretty slow on writing *sigh*, after the first part i ran the second part and i got a "no disc" error, and clicked cancel and continued decompressing my slipstreamed DriverPacks, so i guess its just a matter of a bug in the setup. Now hoping to see my windows popping up.

Thanks for the help, don't close the thread yet please so i know for sure when it works ill reply.

EDIT: Ran through the setup till half when the pc gave me a BoSD saying something about MEMORY_MANAGEMENT.

EDIT2: Rebooted after the BoSD and it continued the setup, after that everything just went neat and completed succesfully.

[HD not detected?]

I'll upload it cause its way too big to add here exept for those who might like to crash there firefox/internet explorer, i hope this explains some stuff about my error's.

Sorry, not used to those since my forum i administrate doesn't use codeboxes. I'll try that method when i get a hang of how to use it.

There still is my Windows Media Center SP3 on that machine so it's no problem to run the tool yet.

There's the output:

Thanks for the fast reply, can't wait to get it to work. I've also attached it incase you need the text file.

[HD not detected?]

Hey guys,

I started using your GUI version about 2 days ago and managed to get an nLite'd XP/Ubuntu and Gparted to install on my DaneElec NoLimits 4 GB stick, though i'm having some trouble installing XP as it does load from boot but it won't detect my hard disk, even after slipsteaming S-ATA drivers, my hard disk is a Seagate Barracuda 200GB 7200.7 (ST3200822AS), it only shows my NTFS formatted usb stick as an installable partition. Though normal installing from Window's XP cd's work fine.

Second is that the Gparted loader doesn't boot through as there come up some error's everytime i try it, maybe it's related to the first problem.

Tried GParted Live (Default settings)

/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off

(initramfs) mount: No such device

mount: Invalid argument

mount: No such device

debug: Mounting backdev "/dev/loop0" (image = /live/image/live/filesystem.squashfs) on croot/imagename "//filesystem.squashfs"

mount: No such device

mount unionfs on /root failed with option noatime,dirs=/cow=rw://filesystem.squashfs=ro

Nothing happens after that.

Third problem is Ubuntu, short error message saying:

Could not find kernel image: linux

boot:

Where i used a downloaded ISO from the Ubuntu site and used the GUI to get it onto the usb along with Windows XP and Gparted.

Hope someone recognizes this error's and is able to help me out, i really like the idea to boot an installer from usb as it's much faster than cd's and easier to carry.

Greetings
