No, there are no USB 3 drivers integrated by default. Which USB3 controller do you use? Use DISM and integrate USB 3 drivers to boot.wim.

Task: there should be no USB at boot menu listed. First disconnect all external devices. Windows setup does write boot settings to first BIOS device. I suspect BIOS set USB memory as first BIOS device. Hence booting fails, because hard disk don't contains boot settings. Detaled specs: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=2145604&rpn=PSLB8U&modelFilter=L305-S5902&selCategory=2756709&selFamily=1073768663#contentArea The card reader "4-in-1 Bridge Media Adapter" refers to a "Realtek RTS5121 USB Card Reader". Does "USB memory" refers to internal card reader? Can you disable this device in BIOS? It's your machine, I don't know this BIOS and can't suggest the required change. Enable/disable "legacy USB support" may help or not. Or disable USB altogether. This may require a unattended installation. This is getting of topic here: you don't have a problem with Intel drivers.

Disconnect USB memory or disable USB memory at BIOS.

It's a storport.sys child driver too, requires 2003.Do you use a 2003 storport driver at XP?

amd_sata.sys is a storport.sys child driver. XP dosn't provide storport.sys, 2003 and up provide storport.sys. I doubt a official deviceID DEV_4394 XP driver. A modded ahcix86 driver package seems the best bet, however driver ahcix86.sys may support DEV_4394 or not.

How do you configure user creation? Do you set user at winnt.sif? You may use three different winnt.sif: \I386\WIN_1.SIF \I386\WIN_2.SIF \I386\WIN_3.SIF This fit to a CD still, no need for a DVD. Does this idea match your needs? Do you have any boot manager preferences so far?

This indicates CC_0106 and refers to AHCI mode. Do not mix ControlSet001 and CurrentControlSet. ControlSet001 may map to CurrentControlSet or another number.

Sorry for that. Yes, use the same name. Or adjust this to one directory /rescue/ only. label Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 menu Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 KERNEL /rescue/rescue INITRD /rescue/rescue.igz APPEND root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc looptype=squashfs loop=/rescue/image.squashfs nodevfs cdroot kav_lang=en udev aufs quiet noresume doscsi

Which isolinux.cfg do you use? Which files and directories does exist?

Extract Kaspersky Rescue Disk to DVD_root\KDR10\ Move file DVD_root\KDR10\livecd to DVD_root\livecd and move directory DVD_root\KDR10\rescue\ to DVD_root\rescue\ label Kaspersky Rescue Disk menu Kaspersky Rescue Disk.

All cheatcodes relates to distribution and version. Different distribution may use different settings. BackTrack seem to relate to Ubuntu http://tazbuntu.blogspot.com/2009/07/multiboot-links.html Cheatcode live-media-path does work. http://forum.hackfromacave.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=185 http://grml.org/online-docs/live-initramfs.en.7.html Extract BackTrack 5 to directory DVD_root\BT5\ Use isolinux.cfg label BackTrack 5 Text Mode menu label BackTrack Text - Default Boot Text Mode kernel /BT5/casper/vmlinuz append file=/cdrom/BT5/preseed/custom.seed boot=casper initrd=/BT5/casper/initrd.gz live-media-path=BT5/casper text splash vga=791-- Acutally I assumed this already. Don't use security software from third party releases.

Yes, some file names are hard coded: /live/GDATA.squashfs Hence the "keep default names" This directory and file names are searched at boot. If this files are missing, booting fails. Avoid changing directory and file names. Yes, you may change kernel and initrd, if you adjust isolinux.cfg accordingly. There are some cheatcodes to set a directory name or image name, example Knoppix G Data BootCD 2012 works in VMware Player. Backtrack5 offers a VMware image to download.

Thanks for report, USB multiboot didn't changed both files. Default nlite.cmd dosn't work at this environment. You have to adjust something. It's about unattended installation. nLite use winnt.sif to launch nLite.cmd. [GuiRunOnce] "%SystemRoot%\System32\nLite.cmd"nLite.cmd launches batch.cmd by default. And batch.cmd launches office install finally. It's a set of commands. You may use this set of commands or change this. There are countless approaches. One way is to start at winnt.sif and follow the line. Current approach: winnt.sif launches nLite.cmd nLite.cmd office install. There are other examples: Use winnt.sif and batch.cmd winnt.sif [GuiRunOnce] ... "U:\$WIN_NT$.~LS\$OEM$\batch.cmd" \$WIN_NT$.~LS\$OEM$\batch.cmd SetLocal enableextensions pushd %~dp0 start /wait office2003\SETUPPRO.exe TRANSFORMS=unattended.mst /qn shutdown -r -t 70 -c "Restarting in..." -f EXIT This uses a fixed drive letter U:. That's fine at this special case. Or winnt.sif [GuiRunOnce] ... "U:\$WIN_NT$.~LS\$OEM$\office2003\SETUPPRO.exe TRANSFORMS=unattended.mst /qn" Contrary drive lettter may change. It's nice to search a drive letter. Compare http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/59/ Or combine cmdlines.txt and RunOnceEx registry http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/13/ http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/14/ http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/59/ XP setup support CD and internal hard disk installation. A external hard disk is not supported, read USB hard disk or USB stick is not supported. Some work arrounds are required. There are major differences between CD and internal hard disk installation. Situation changed recently: ISO file at USB is possible. Old knwon CD approaches workd at USB stick. At different BIOS limitations different solutions are more usable.

In addition keep default names. mkisofs -v -iso-level 4 -r -D -o GEAR-DVD.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -hide boot.catalog -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table DVD_root Bootmgr is case sensitive at ISO 9660 too. Upper case relating files at hard disk first.

Remember *nix is case sensitive. And there are file systems and extensions. *nix uses Rock Ridge often. Extract file names from Rock Ridge. ISOBuster free version does read Rock Ridge. And add Rock Ridge extension to ISO image: -r

Yes, that's compressed files. Yes, expand nlite.cmd and copy file to \$WIN_NT$.~LS\I386\nlite.cmd. Edit this file. Delete \$WIN_NT$.~LS\I386\nlite.cm_ No need to compress file again. Ignore nlite.in_

Should be at \$WIN_NT$.~LS\I386\And \txtsetup.sif should list nlite.cmd too. Does \txtsetup.sif contains lines with nlite.cmd? Copy and paste this lines. Yes, that's it.

Does exist a file nlite.cmd at USB stick? Which location goes to nlite.cmd at USB stick currently. Keep this location.

Don't do this. Delete batch.cmd. Edit nlite.cmd, copy and paste previous code from post #26. That's nice. Open the file, copy, paste and post the contents.

Pictuere refers to I: now, that's not U:. What's drive letter I: ? Does this refers to XP installation with USB Multiboot? Try nlite.cmd dir U:\$WIN_NT$.~LS\$OEM$\office2003 >"%temp%\source.log" start /wait U:\$WIN_NT$.~LS\$OEM$\office2003\SETUPPRO.exe TRANSFORMS=unattended.mst /qn shutdown -r -t 70 -c "Restarting in..." -f EXIT Start again, install XP from USB Multiboot. Which drive letter goes to USB stick finally? Does exist a file source.log at hard disk? Post contents. There is no need to attach a picture, copy and paste text from source.log.

Which drive letter matches your USB stick after XP install? Does exist file \$WIN_NT$.~LS\$OEM$\office2003\SETUPPRO.exe at USB stick? Create a Read.cmd. for /f "tokens=3" %%i IN ('reg query HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup /v "SourcePath" ^| findstr "REG_SZ"') do set SOURCE=%%i echo Source %Source% (echo Source %Source% & echo.)> "%temp%\source.log" reg query HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup /v "SourcePath" >> "%temp%\source.log" notepad.exe "%temp%\source.log" pause Boot previous installed XP, run read.cmd and post source.log content.

Remember: request is not supported by OS. Final result is unknown. Assumption: a current driver iastor.sys supports mass storage controller. Which driver does support this mass storage controller? Which OS did you load? Do you use a plain XP?Do you use a OEM version? Any mass storage drivers included to installation CD? You may have to activate again. What happens if you boot? Which pictures and messages do you get? Press F8 at boot and disable automatic reboot. Which BSOD do you get? Boot old machine, add new RAID drivers. Read 1st and #194 message. Copy a current iastor.sys and apply registry settings page__view__findpost__p__823883 Which old machines do you use? Do you use hyper threading?

Most likely batch.cmd dosn't run at all. No idea, I don't use this feature.
