Firadisk method works ok for me...

I was attempting to run this type of setup but ran into a small snag...
If I go into presetup.cmd and add the line below "DPsFound" (as suggested).
:DPsFound
start /b "Open handle to virtual CD-ROM drive." pushd "%CDDRIVE%"
Then when it goes into TXT-mode setup, it will say that it "cannot copy presetup.cmd". If I go back to an ISO where this is unchanged, it will copy the file fine (but then loses the ISO mapping in GUI setup). If I manually copy the changed presetup.cmd then GUI setup will work fine.
Any ideas why modifying presetup.cmd would make it fail to copy in TXT setup?
If I look in TXTSETUP.SIF, I see setuporg.exe and presetup.cmd listed properly under sourcedisk files (as people on other message boards suggested checking this)
Thanks

This could be useful for me as well if I need to extract out of an ISO my flash drive while in bartpe and setup the flash drive to install with this program. Just thought I would give it a bump if at all possible... if not then keep up the good work anyway!!

It does work fine to load the whole image, I just was looking for setting this up on older/slower machines.
Can you clarify some parts:
Which windows files did you used? Do you use a OEM version?
Did you slipstream a SP? How do you slipstreams?
Did you changed windows files in addition? Did you edited, added or deleted a file?
Which menu.lst do you use?
Does RAM loaded ISO image contain a file RAMBOOT.LST?
Which contents does contain file RAMBOOT.LST?
How much RAM does computer hold?I use the classification to install on a computer without enough RAMFile txtsetup.sif is there
Sorry, there is a issue with relative path.
Try full path
MkISO_RAMload_sort.cmd C:\INST\XP_RAM
Windows XP SP3 setup disk, unattaned with driverpacks (method2). Also nlited to get the image size down
I tried both menu methods posted in post #69 on page 4, they both load the iso fine, but stop with that error I mentioned before. ISO does contain ramboot.lst which I tried to boot from

Ok went to test it...It boots and gets to "starting windows" section of txt setup.
Blue screens with this message
"Stop: c0000221 unknown hard error
\systemroot\system32\ntdll.dll"
I take it something didn't get sorted right or ???

Don't know what I was doing wrong before - I think I got it to create properly now. I will test it out and see how it works

Spent some time on _http://www.flashboot.ru/ (with google translate) trying to get my alcor based drive working. Could get the cd image/partition to format fine but booting the WinXP CD portion would just not work in a couple of computers that I tried.
I also have a flash drive with a USBest chip, I got that to format/boot fine on 2x computers with no problems...

Any simplier methods to make a sorted ISO? I seem to be having a heck of a time getting all the tools to work, and getting strange errors from the .cmd...

Any other ideas on this one? I have switched out the ntdetect.com for the modified one, and also used the mass storage driver pack. I have a Dell E6400 that hangs after "setup is starting windows" on a black screen. When I tried it on some othe rmachines (Optiplex 620, 745) it would get error 7B now with those changes all other machines work ok ECXEPT the E6400. I assume its BSOD 7B? But it just hangs at a black screen after "setup is starting windows" during txt setup.
The general idea of a BLUE Screen of Death is that it should be blue.
And, if it is a 0x0000007b it will have 0x0000007b displayed in white on it.
So, no, if it is a black hanging screen it is a BHS (Black Hanging Screen) and is not a BSOD.
It reminds me more of a timing problem of some kind or a problem/conflict with loading a driver than anything else, maybe you should try on that machine to make a USB stick WITHOUT the whole mass of the driverpacks, adding only, if needed, the single mass storage driver that machine needs.
It is also possible that that stoopid machine, being a DELL has one of those pesky BIOSes that have appeared lately to e incomaptibloe with a good half of "advanced" booting programs/techniques, there are a lot of reports lately of grub4dos freezing on DELL machines, though if you get up to "setup is starting windows" it shouldn't be the problem.
Another semi-random attempt may be that of using PLoP as an intermediate bootloader, reloading from it the USB device:

Do BOTH 0.2.3 and Beta 1.0.x behave the same?
The two versions use a different approach....

Jaclaz-
Thanks for the help, I will try out some of your suggestions. I have only tried with 1.0b4 and b5 but not 0.2.3. I tried using Plop to boot from USB, but it seems to hang loading up Grub4dos (CMain loading...???). I will also try with just the E6400 driver and not the driverpack...
Thanks for your help

Have been playing with WinSetupFromUSB for a while worked ok so far, even on laptop.
But hit a snag today with Dell Optiplex 755 (ICH9)
with all drivers integrated (same install for on Dell E6400,also intel chipset)
I got a bSOD 0x7B only when boot from USB (when 32 bit setup starts)
booting the same image from CD is OK.
It seems setup considers USB drive a boot device but can't find a 32 bit driver for it?
Edit: Also tested on external USB hard drive - same result.

Any thoughts on this? I have been using the WinSetupFromUSB tool that was developed here (and is very nice ! )and saw this tool mentioned on another site the other day.

After USB install, won't boot w/o usb

I would have the same questions as Jaclaz...
I have ran into this before as well when doing a Win7 boot repair on a computer. I didn't have Grub4dos switch the drive order when I booted the Win repair ISO and my USB was drive 0. The repair cd then put some of the needed boot files on the USB rather than on the HD. I moved the boot files onto the HD from the USB drive and then used BCDEDIT to point to the right drive for the bootfiles...
