Alright, so I'm working on this disc, it incorporates 4 tools, and I'm using .WBT files to contain the images of two of the discs, one of the issues I'm having though is that one of the .WBT files is about 3.5mb in size, memdisk wont start it properly, and it's too big for DiskEMU... Using Bscript... Using BCDW though it'll load them properly, only problem though is that BCDW is not as compatible accross as many computers as BScript is, for example, BCDW pretty much doesn't work on Dell computers... Now, from what I can tell CD Shell is basically the same as BScript, only slightly different, and while it was what I used to learn how to do multi-booting I found that it was not as compatible with computers as BScript.... So, I need a boot loader that'll work with .WBT files no problem, (Created by WinISO), and will work accross all computers, espcially Dell computers... I know there's BScript, CD Shell, BCDW, I think GRUB, but I'd need some literature or something so I can re-learn some of these odds n' ends... Thoughts?

Alright, so I'm creating a kind of Ultimate AIO-DVD in that it contains some fice WinPEs, one VistaPE, nine copies of XP (With three boot options each so a total of 27 XP install options), all copies of Vista (32 and 64 bit) and around 20 bootable floppies... Needless to say the disc is indeed an Ultimate AIO-DVD.... However, the dilema is a bit odd.... And I don't know what to blame... Obviously a DVD of this magnitude enters into the dual layer disc rage, it is indeed a 7.5GB DVD image, and the problem I'm have is, I believe, related to the size.... The boot loaders don't work..... It's like once I make this huge image the boot loaders stopped working properly, I've tried using BCDW and bscript, and both of the fail... bscript just out right fials to load, while BCDW loads and is useable, but nothing is readable on the screen... Just gibberish, but you can "use" in that all the options work.... Hell, it even let me load the Vista installer..... I'm using the CDImage Gui Beta 3 to conduct the shrinking... Is there an issue with using CDImage on something this large, or are the boot loaders just not coping?

So, I'm asking it here because the boot loader is most like Windows Vista... I've got a couple of different options for making reinstallations more streamlined in the future... Option A: remake the disc, which I would have to research. Option B: Use the included System Builder disc and create a network share on my HTPC which would host the image and allow me to just perform the home server installation over the network.... Which option would be more preferred, and is there anywhere else which might have additional information on performing unattended installations for Home Server as it is a bit of a pain to go through some of the effort I have to go through right now to reinstall... Granted I should never have to reinstall ever again, but you know... Would be ncie to have....
