Yes it is I made a disk that includes chipset drivers for Nvidia, Intel and Via. Just do as Bucketbuster says.

This worked for me under RunOnceEx.cmd change the 145 as needed. Also make sure source.bat is in $OEM$\$$ directory on your CD/DVD. REG ADD %KEY%\145 /VE /D "Install recovery console" /f REG ADD %KEY%\145 /V 1 /D "%windir%\source.bat" /f I also add this to my reg file Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Setup\RecoveryConsole] "SetCommand"=dword:00000001 "SecurityLevel"=dword:00000001 This allows you to enter the following commands in the recovery console set AllowWildCards = True set AllowAllPaths = True set AllowRemovableMedia = True set NoCopyPrompt = True which allows files to be copied to floppy and the rest of the hard drive.

You have to put AutoItSetOption("ExpandEnvStrings",1) in your script it defaults to 0.

I think it must be the way I'm creating the .wbt I used mediabuilder and made two floppy disks then combined them into a 2.88 floppy image with win image and was able to boot that with BCDW.

I made a multiboot DVD with XP and ME then I added Acronis Disk Director Suite. When I try to boot the Acronis program 'Loading Acronis' is displayed then 'boot failed' XP and ME still work. I'm using BCDW v2.01a Anyone see any mistakes in these files or know what else I need to do?

Have you tried copying "blabla.sys" to the pro1 dir? I just got done creating a multible boot cd tonight and thats what I finally decided to try and it worked for me. I'm using Green machines method, not sure where that fits with method 1 or 2.

both will work the same. You can had as many blank lines as you need.

.Cat files do not contain the .inf files. You need to use winrar or winzip to extract the files in that file. Then open a command prompt in the folder you extracted them to. type infinst_autol.exe -A -A -P C:\intel C:\intel can be what ever you want. keep pressing next until the program exits. And all this info is in the readme file.

Look in the txtsetup.oem files of the drivers for similar numbers. Maybe in the .inf files too. Those are the ones you use if you ever need to add other drivers. These are what I added to my txtsetup.sif for all my boards. This will also install the nvraid drivers. The numbers after SUBSYS_ depend on the vender for example if its on an Asus MB or an Abit MB or what ever. Remember that you need to copy the .sys files to the i386 directory. compressing them isn't neccessary unless you need the space.

Yes you can do that. My CD work with my K8N-E and a A7N8X-E, P4C800-DLX and a K8V-SE. Just follow the same steps you used to slipstream the first set of drivers. Note I'm using Greenmachines method http://greenmachine.msfnhosting.com/READING/addraid.htm

I haven't tried this but I believe deleting the file bootfix.bin in the i386 folder will do what you want. ie boot the XP cd without a prompt to press any key.

Yes

It appears to be. The file you need is tosdvd.sys as far as I can see. For the search to work you need to search on text contained in the file.

What I've done in similar situations is install the driver/utility then search in the windows\inf folder for the inf file which is usually named oem(some number).inf. Search for an inf file that contains the name of the vendor. Then look through the inf file for the files you need and copy them. I use Agent ransack for the search which can be found here http://www.mythicsoft.com/default.aspx

You over looked it in your reg twek file or you used nlite or similar program and removed it.

try this, ot works for me -p\"-s /v\"/qn\"\"" It looks like your missing a slash after the -p

try these from the tweak file [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "ClassicViewState"=dword:00000001 Not sure if you have to restart your computer or not

your not supposed to merge the whole reg file with your registry. You should comment out the one you don't want. Or do what I do and put the one you want in a seperate file.

I can't tell you exactly what numbers to enter. Look in the txtsetup.oem files of the drivers your trying to install for lines like 'PCI\VEN_105A&DEV_3376.DeviceDesc'

To use the makecab utility just type 'makecab driver.sys' and it will output a file called driver.sy_. Or you can tell it the name of the file to create. That isn't necessary, you can just copy the .sys files to the i386 directory without compressing them. I would double check that the oempnpdriverspath in the winnt.sif file is correct. Make sure your $OEM directory is outside of the i386 directory if booting from CD to install.

I bet you have to change the computer name to something besides Administrator or any other account on your machine.

All except the first one are in a sticky post in this forum entitled registry tweaks. Not sure about the third, I know there's a tweak to show the path but I don't know if its in the address bar or title bar. If you want to find registry settings a good tool is ntregmon at www.sysinternals.com

Just click on 'files of type' and choose 'all' then choose the file you want. When I first tried to make a bootable DVD with Nero it didn't work. Then I bought some better quality disks and then it worked. Its no different that making a bootable CD.
