Ok I found out what the problem was. This has not been mentioned in any faq's or any of the guides in making a multiboot cd/dvd. The problem that is occuring is within the bootsector file. For instance xp.dat or an xp.bin boot file. Within the boot file when you replace the i386 with your new folder it should be in caps and not lower case. For instance if you use easyboot to replace text within xp.dat under the easyboot folder it will state about 0 bites have been writen. However if you type I386 and replace with your folder name it goes though. Now if you use lower case for your folder for instance if you have a folder called xppro in lower case letters and you type it the same way in the replace feild when replacing i386 it will not work. So you have to type it XPPRO in all caps and replace I386 with XPPRO. Xppro was an example though. You can put it in any folder you wish just remember to make it all caps. Also remember the i is also caps as in I. Replace I386 with XXXX and you'll be fine. Just remember easyboot only allows 4 letters but if you use ultraedit or another text editor you can replace I386 with more then 4 letters providing that they are all caps as well like XXXXXXX and it will boot. I hope I have helped everyone with there ntldr problems cause i helped myself after a 2 week headache. Good luck to all and if you happen to run into anymore ntldr errors then please post I'll be back around to keep things inline with ntldr errors. Later.

yea i followed the directions and yes the files are from the same version of windows xp. last time i checked cd roms from microsoft are not writable so if they got changed its microsoft's stupid idea. no the directions don't work i followed them a few times over the past 5 days and i can't get anything past ntldr. that file is getting annoying. i want xp pro in pro1 dir and home in the home dir but pro don't work in pro1. someone help us and get rid of the ntldr file for good.

I'm having the same problem. will someone help us out. stop telling us to do s*** that don't work. its not fun when people tell us stuff that is bull and we do it over and over and get no where. for once in a lifetime will someone help us the f*** out. fix our f***ing ntldr problem now.

well i gave my directions of how i did it but no one gives a f*** about this deal. i'm gonna sit down and figure out how to run it without ntldr and strip ntldr off the f***ing cd and ram it up all of your a**'es and microsoft's a** too cause ntldr can f*** off and kiss my a**. and all of you who got your cd's to work good for you and thanks for not sharing how you did it or what you do. also thanks for telling us noobs the wrong infomation and not caring while you sit back and laugh at all of us p***ed of people.

Look don't anyone know what the meaning of can't find ntldr is. I'm tired of fighting with this bull. The **** directions don't work and thats that. I'm tired of not getting a bootable cd cause you guys can't help a person.

First step i do is under c:\easyboot\disk1 is make a folder called pro1. Step 2 i copy the i386 folder and the win51 and win51p files to c:\easyboot\disk1\pro1 step 3 I copy wxp.bat to the folder called pro1 and i run it. step 4 i edit c:\easyboot\disk1\pro1\setupldr.bin and replace i386 with pro1 step 5 i edit c:\easyboot\disk1\pro1\txtsetup.sif under setupsorce to /pro1 step 6 i edit pro1.bin and replace all i386 with pro1 step 7 i make the iso with easyboot Now when i go to boot with the cd the easyboot menu comes up. i choose windows xp from the list which is pointed towards pro1.bin. Once i press to run that it says ntldr not found. Did i do something wrong in my steps or what.

I tried that but it won't work. No matter what i do i keep getting can't find ntldr. This is why i'm so mad. i'm about ready to try to boot from a xp boot floppy called img the old way like windows 98 was. these stupid bin files are running me to hell fast. leave it up to a retard from microsoft to make a bootable cd in a way that is so annoying.

Yes i can make a standalone xp pro cdrom but i want to add home to it as well. If i make a pro only disk then easyboot will boot from it. but if i put my files in dir's to make a dual boot cdrom and edit the files listed it will not boot. it says can't find ntldr. As long as i have the i386 folder under easyboot/disk1 its fine since i don't edit the bin files and the dat files etc. its just odd.

HI I checked this out and it didn't fix the problem. Is there a program out there that will do these boot menu's where u don't have to edit bin's. I think the dat's are the problem. No one wants to upload premade dat files but they upload the origanal dat files for bootsectors. Its possible that an eval of ultraedit won't save the file correctly and microsoft has such retards working for them that they may not let us edit there files or use them for a boot. I don't know but i just want to make my own cd to use since they say its illegal to download and use other cd's that people make such d*******s at microsoft they need to stop it with there stupid garbage and let us people do what we want with software we buy. Or else make the software cheaper so we can afford it without having to pirate stuff. All this s*** p***es me off and no one has an answer to any of us to make a boot cd of xp.

Hi. Everywhere I look to make a multiboot xp disk no one knows what or how to setup ntldr. People ask this over and over but the guides and walkthoughs do not specifiy ntldr. However this file is needed no matter what too boot windows xp. So i suggest that all of the people who are having a problem and not getting an answer to speak your mind. We need to know how to boot xp from a multiboot disk when we keep getting the dang error can't find ntldr. I've put this file in all dir's all over the cdrom but it will not boot. I think someone is letting out some useful info and making us users very well ticked off. I tried easyboot and that **** program does the same thing when i go to boot. it says can't find ntldr. I'm glad they make virtual pc's or we people would have a hell of a lot of coasters cause some d******* will not tell us what to do with ntldr. So please tell us at this fourm what we are suppose to do with ntldr before i figure out on my own and post it on this fourm and show all you know it all's that know nothing how to do this ntldr cause its gotten me p***ed off.
