Yes I am... I slipstreamed it into the installation first thing. Is that a problem?

It says PnP drivers are not supported and only .Net class drivers are supported...

its in the winpe\winpe directory on the windows pe cd....

I do the winnt32 /noreboot to extract the boot files, then I do all the .bin modifications and remove the 3 files. I have the setup files in \Setup\win2k3srv\ directory, and the 3STD.DAT file in the root. Im using cdshell to multiboot and It boots to the menu fine and will boot windows PE just fine.

I did the winnt32.exe /noreboot method... but that method does not seem to copy the NTLDR file to the ~BT directory which I renamed to 3STD.

No, all the files are in the same directory in the same manner as they appear on the CD.

I booted into windows PE and tried to run the Setup file from a 2003 folder, I then got an error message that Says I had to goto control panel and do add remove programs, or something like that. Any idea why this is happening?

I know the basic method for integrating drivers into an install. Putting the stuff in a folder that is specified in the txtsetup.sif file, then putting a line for the file in the [sourceDisksFiles] section. Is this done the same way with Windows PE? And if so, is there an easier method for doing this? I use nLite to integrate drivers into my regular OS cds but I would like to migrate my unattended installs to windows PE.

I had it in the BOOT folder as well, I wasnt quite sure where to put it so I put it in both places. I got Windows PE to boot, but now I seem to be having issues getting my 2003 setup to load. I get a NTLDR is corrupt message.

Good to know I will change them all back to 4 chars. I dont think it said that in the tutorial, though all of his folders were only 4 characters. Yea I edited all of the setupldr.bin files as well as the txtsetup.sif files. In fact I have heavily modified my 2003 sif file to copy a bunch of other software to the install as well. Thank you very much for the advice, I will give that a shot. Any idea why Im geting that cdshell screen instead of my custom menu? here is my cdshell.ini boot: cls print "\n" print "Press Enter to boot from CD... \n" getkey 5 boot 0x80 if $lastKey == key[enter]; then goto time # When no key found... goto boot # Function to display time of day time: set hour = $timeHour set ampm = "am" if $timeHour > 12; then set hour = $timeHour - 12 if $timeHour > 12; then set ampm = "pm" set time = "$hour:$timeMinute$ampm" # Function to display date date: set month = "n/a" if $dateMonth == 1; then set month = "Jan." if $dateMonth == 2; then set month = "Feb." if $dateMonth == 3; then set month = "Mar." if $dateMonth == 4; then set month = "Apr." if $dateMonth == 5; then set month = "May." if $dateMonth == 6; then set month = "Jun." if $dateMonth == 7; then set month = "Jul." if $dateMonth == 8; then set month = "Aug." if $dateMonth == 9; then set month = "Sep." if $dateMonth == 10; then set month = "Oct." if $dateMonth == 11; then set month = "Nov." if $dateMonth == 12; then set month = "Dec." set date = "$month$dateDay,$dateYear" # Printing the Interface menu: set textColor= color[grey on black] set boldColor= color[cyan on black] cls print c "\n\cXXÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ<\c0B$time $date\cXX>ÄÄ \n\n" print c "\cXXÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ \n\n" print "1) Windows Server 2003 Corporate \n" print "2) Windows Pre-Installation Environment \n" print "\n" print "Q) Quit to Command Prompt \n" print "R) Reboot \n" print "ESC) Boot 1st Harddisk \n" print c "\n" MainKey: getkey 20 boot 0x80 if $lastKey == key[1]; then chain /WIN2003.DAT if $lastKey == key[1]; then chain /WINPE.DAT if $lastKey == key[q]; then end if $lastKey == key[r]; then reboot if $lastKey == key[F1]; then goto Help if $lastKey == key[esc]; then boot 0x80 end

I am trying to create a bootable CD with an unattended install of 2003 (which works fine on its own) and Windows PE. I was trying to use the Multiboot DVD tutorial as my reference. I did everything that was instructed in the tutorial but I cannot boot from the CD. I understand the PE one, I get a NTLDR missing error. But I am also unable to boot the 2003 install. I get a Code 5 error. I did everything just as instruted in the tutorial with some minor directory name changes. I edited all the bin files with Hex workshop, using only caps, and I created the ISO with cdimage. Im not sure what Im doing wrong here. Also, I edited my cdshell.ini file from the sample in the tutorial taking out only obviously non-crucial things, and changing some of the menu items. But when it boots off the CD it loads straight into a cdshell screen with some sample script buttons and stuff. I actually have to go to the command line and chain my dat files to load them. If Im doing something worng please let me know.
