  1. Maybe it's some kind of RAM related error (specific to that machine) :unsure:.

    If this is the case, if you use the 0.2.3 "stable" (that uses NOT the .iso mapping) it should work.

    I kept getting the error

    Autoit error -1

    error variable must be of type object

    tried reinstalling the whole wmi, no different

    I am short of just taking the harddrive out and mounting it on a working machine and do up the drivers later

  2. grub4dos will give you some feedback, at some of the lines entered, please post these output.

    I assume you dont want me to do anything to the menu.lst and winsetup.lst yet

    map --mem (hd0,0)/WINSETUP/XPpSP3.ISO (0xff) 
    map (hd0) (hd1)
    map (hd1) (hd0)
    map --hook

    nothing


    root (0xff)

    Filesystem type is iso9660, using whole disk


    chainloader /I386/SETUPLDR.BIN

    Will boot NTLDR from drive=0xff, partition=0xff(hidden sectors=0x0)


    boot

    gave me error 2

  3. Good :),

    now, depending on the amount of hard disks you have connected to that PC, you have to find out which among the 10.lst, 9.lst ... 1.lst is actually used (most probably it's 2.lst) and post it's contents.

    (what I am trying to find out is the sequence of grub4dos commands that are actually issued on that machine, and recreate a single menu.lst entry with them, that we can later experiment with/modify) ;)

    stop working after removing 10.lst to 1.lst

    when I try to boot into the first part of the setup

    following error

    drive 0x81(LBA): C/H/S=1023/255/63, Sector Count/Size=16434495/512

    geometry(hd1)

    Error 15: File not found

    p.s. I have only the usb drive (16gb), and an internal harddrive

  4. Comment out this line in winsetup.lst (put # at front) or just delete it:

    checkrange 0x00,0x01 read 0x8280 && configfile /BOOTWS/fd.lst

    and try again.

    no difference, still get the error code 2 with biosinfo.inf

    Can you also post result of:

    geometry (fd0)

    drive 0x00(CHS): C/H/S=80/2/18,Sector Count/Size=2880/512

    now, depending on the amount of hard disks you have connected to that PC, you have to find out which among the 10.lst, 9.lst ... 1.lst is actually used (most probably it's 2.lst) ....

    not sure on how to do that, but going to delet the .lst from 10 to 1 and check when it stop working

    will report back later

    I also want to try what was mentioned HERE, but I couldn't locate BootDevice= in my txtsetup.sif
    map --mem (hd0,0)/WINSETUP/XPpSP3.ISO (0xff)

    txtsetup.sif is used from inside /WINSETUP/XPpSP3.ISO

    I could modify the iso, is that what needs to be done?

  5. So you need to post also contents of winsetup.lst ;).

    haha, working late here, slipped

  6. Remove any menu.lst from your USB stick (this way you get to command line automatically).

    Make a copy of it somewhere AND post here it's contents.

    uploaded it here

    find /

    [TAB]

    you should have a list of the files/directories you find in the root of the stick, please post these filenames/directory names listed.

    BOOTWS/

    nLite/

    WINSETUP/

    plpbt.bin

    default

    grldr

    windefault

    winsetup.lst

    usbdrive.tag

    Now some details.

    What are your Sources? (like XP English/Chinese/Whatever, SP1, SP2 SP3, etc.)

    XP english sp3, customized with nlite, no input needed

    Which exact version of the WinsetupfromUSB are you testing with? There are TWO valid versions to try, 0.2.3 (traditional) and 1.0 beta6 (new method).

    1.0 beta 6

    How big is the stick?

    16gb

    Which app did you use to partition/format it?

    did everything from format to copying the file in WinSetupFromUSB 1.0 beta 6

    Also connected to the above question type in grub4dos:

    geometry (hd0)

    {ENTER]

    and post results.

    drive 0x80(LBA): C/h/S=1024/255/63, Sector Count/Size=31342815/512

    Partition num: 0, active, Filesystem type is ntfs, partition type 0x07

  7. Can you try the suggestion already given on that thread?

    Or have you already tried them all and nothing came out of it?

    In any case you need to provide some more details.

    I notice the files I have and the ones from that thread is not the same, I could only assume thats because after the issue was solved on the thread, the developer updated the files. Thus I couldn't try all of them.

    But the ones I tried still give me the error.

    Tell me what details you need and I will get them up.

    Here are some result from grub command line

    find /winsetup.lst

    (hd0,0)

    root (

    + TAB

    Possible disks are: fd0 hd0 hd1 rd

    where as if I do it on one of the machine that works

    Possible disks are: hd0 hd1 rd

  8. 我用WinSetup-1-0-beta6制作了一个USB的windows xp安装盘。

    我安装windows xp时,出现以下信息:

    File\i386\biosinfo.inf could not be loaded.

    The error code is 2

    Setup cannot continue.Press any key to exit.

    不知道什么回事!

    I used WinSetup-1-0-beta6 and made a windows xp installation USB

    When I install windows xp, the following error was shown:

    File\i386\biosinfo.inf could not be loaded.

    The error code is 2

    Setup cannot continue.Press any key to exit.

    Dont know why!

    above is the translation

    I am having the same problem, I went to search and only got 3 threads, the closest one I think is this one

    Funny thing is that the usb I made work on all the machines but one, that gave me the above error.

    Anyone can help us out?

  9. I dont understand what you are trying to say there.

    Shutdown your machine.

    Disconnect the 'TOSHIBA TransMemory USB Device' and the 'WD Ext HDD 1021 USB Device'.

    Boot your machine.

    Attach your USB devices.

    Run WinSetupFromUSB.

    Which hardware, motherboard do you use?

    yea that "fixed" it, it was due to the bios setting the usb to Disk 0 instead of the hard drive.

    I use the WD 500gb hd and asus p5 mb

  10. Are you running Windows from USB device?

    For some reason the selected disk appears as PHYSICALDRIVE0, which the program will not operate on for safety reasons.
