I have emailed you what I have... It was just the autorun.exe file, menu.ini file, and menu folder... let me know how it works out

i would guess the problem is prolly that it cant find that files you are referencing... the way i did it was to 'give it directions' on where those files are from the root of the AIO DVD.. so my code looks like this... stm_aix("p3i4","p1i0",[0,"Microsoft Windows XP Pro","","",-1,-1,0,"mkiso:..\\SETUP\\XP\\BOOT.BIN:VRMPVOL_EN:..\\SETUP\\XP:Windows XP Pro.iso"],365,0); here is a little breakdown of the commands (i'll put the info in parenthesis)..... "mkiso:..(the dots tell it to start from the root of the drive)\\SETUP\\XP\\BOOT.BIN(this is the location of the file to make it bootable):VRMPVOL_EN(the internal name of the ISO thats being created):..\\SETUP\\XP(the path to the location of the files to be included in the ISO, again given from the root of the drive):Windows XP Pro.iso(the name of the completed ISO)" Also, in your menu.ini, I noticed something with the DVD Decrypter... Mine is as follows # DVDDecryp*er is used for recording the ISO-Image # created by CDImage [DVDDec] Path=TOOLS\DVDD******.exe Not sure if its different because youre using php, but i wouldnt think so. Let me know if that helps any.

where did you get the cd.sys files from?

i think i found the answer on a different post... its http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...05entry475905

how did you add the cdrom drivers and modify the variables in the autoexec.bat file & menu.bat file?

I purchased some software to securely erase data from a hard disk and it has a wizard that will create either a bootable cd or floppy that you can use to boot from to erase data from the hard disk. I created the CD (ISO file) and extracted the boot image from it (and renamed it to have a .DAT extension). I then copied all the files from the ISO to the root of my multiboot dvd and edited the cdshell.ini file to chain the .DAT file i extracted. When i test it out and select that option from the boot menu, nothing happens and the screen stays blank... I could upload a copy of the ISO file the program created (its only 4mb) if anyone wants to play with it to see if they can get it to work. Thanks

copy/paste your cdshell.ini file so we can look at it.

just dont hide the files

its possible because when cdimage 'compresses' the files it doesnt use the same file more than twice. it justs references the location of the repeated file ... instead of having the same file 20 times, it just has the same file once with 19 references, thereby reducing the total filesize....so, to put it simply, it eliminates redundancy

read the guide very carefully, it works. be sure you have edited the correct files and pointed them to the right places.

you need to use a cracked one, or at least hex edit it yourself.... there is a built-in checksum that needs to be disabled before it will work...the thread is http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=58410&st=0 ...(its the very first sticky.... how did you miss it? )

thats what i ended up doing..... thanks!

are you using the cracked setupldr.bin file?

Actually, i just went ahead and added a mkdir command at the end of that so it would just recreate that folder... problem solved! thanks everyone

@cluberti great thanks! @jftuga i was checking out delen and was using it to delete the contents of my backup folder (C:\Buildsof\Backups), but i have yet to figuer out a way to do this without deleting the folder itself. The command i am using is 'c:\buildsof\backups\ /sxy' .... i thought the last trailing backslash after the directory location would help, but it didnt.... any ideas?

thanks to both of you! @cluberti is that a batch file or vbs file? do i have to make a file for each folder that i wanted cleaned of files that are older than 30 days? its not a big deal, i only plan on using it for one folder anyways.

I have a folder of backups. Each backup is a .rar file. To conserve space, i would like a batch program that deletes all the files (there are only rar files in there) in the Backup folder that are older than 30 days. Does anyone know how to do this? I would prefer it to be a .bat file so i wouldnt have to install any extra software and could set it to run automatically using task scheduler... Thanks!

use cdimage and nlite to reduce size of the OS

read flyakite's guide. Its located at http://flyakite.msfnhosting.com/

did you read Flyakite's guide? It took me several times to understand it, but its only because it looks overwhelming at first, but its really not. Its a simple concept... You put an option on the screen and assign each option a variable (like print "Press '2' to install Windows 2000 Pro \n), then tell the program what to do once that option is selected (if $lastKey == key[2]; then chain /2PRO.DAT ---> which tells it to look in the 2PRO.DAT file for boot instructions, which in turns starts the Windows 2000 Setup). Try reading his instructions on how to do it and let us know if you need help.

i wasnt criticizing it, just making an observation....

there was already an excellent autorun installer menu posted on another thread. it can be found at http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=53032&st=100 be sure to download beta 7

Ok, not a problem... i will probably just include the filename in the index.html file and not give them to option to input it.... thanks again

It works fine when i put the filename in the index.html file, but when it asks the user to type a filename, it doesnt work and cdimage doesnt even seem to startup.... Here is what my debug form shows... BROWSE (ACTION): MKISO MKISO (SETTINGS): CDImagePath = BOOT\CDIMAGE.EXE MKISO (SETTINGS): BOOTIMAGE -> HREN.IMG MKISO (SETTINGS): IMAGELABEL -> Hiren'sBootCDv7.6 MKISO (SETTINGS): ROOTPATH -> BOOT\HIREN MKISO (SETTINGS): FILENAME -> Hiren's BootCD v7.6.iso MKISO (ACTION): CREATE ISO, BROWSE FOLDER... MKISO (ACTION): OUTPUTTING TO "C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\Hiren's BootCD v7.6.iso" MKISO (ACTION): STARTING COMMAND LINE: >>>>>>> BOOT\CDIMAGE.EXE -lHiren'sBootCDv7.6 -t08/23/2001,09:00:00 -b"HREN.IMG" -h -n -o -m "BOOT\HIREN" "C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\Hiren's BootCD v7.6.iso" everything seems to be correct, but it still doesnt create the ISO when the user types in the filename.

Genius, pure genius... i was going to ask you how to include spaces in the filename without getting the percent signs as placeholders, but i see you have fixed that. Thanks so much, its working wonderfully! I tried the setting it to where the user can input the filename, but it didnt work. I checked the debug form and it was passing all the correct commands, but for some reason cdimage didnt even seem to start up. I can create the ISO just fine if the user set filename is disabled. Thanks again
