one other thing.... is there a way to manually set the filename of the ISO. i believe currently it is the filename is ISOLABEL.iso... i think it would be great if i could change that filename to something like 'Windows Server 2003.iso'... could this be done? thanks

I just finished testing Beta 6 and... IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM!!!! Congrats, great job. Only thing i would suggest changing is that in the Index.html (the one in the menu folder), under the 'Create Bootable Discs' section, the existing items show the root path of the ISO to be created as 'ISO\\ME'... when i was trying to get mine to work, this threw me off b/c i thought the 'ISO\\' part needed to be in there for it to function... turns out it does not, unless they have an ISO folder with the operating system folders in there. Besides that, everything looks and works great. Thanks again! p.s. - i would still like a copy of the DVDD******.exe if possible. thanks

i found that if i put a fake dvddecrypter.exe (i just renamed a copy of cdimage.exe) into the TOOLS folder and create the ISO, the option to 'record to disc afterwards' appears, but, more importantly the "Cannot record the ISO file since it has not been created!" box does not... strangley though the 'Create Bootable CD' box does not automatically close after the successful creation of the ISO.... could you upload the actual DVDDECRYPTER.exe so i could have the real thing and test it further? thanks EDIT- just noticed the new beta... those comments are for the beta 5 version, not the newest one... i will test it and let you know

still the same thing.... whether or not the ISO is successfully created, the same "Cannot record the ISO file since it has not been created!" box pops up. the error showing in the debug is box 'MKISO (ERROR): IMAGE NOT CREATED...' does it have anything to do with the dvddecrypter maybe? thanks

Funny, cuz i found that guide first and it didnt work when i tried it. So then i kept looking and found Flyakite's guide and it worked out great. Sorry it didnt work for you, but like he said, do one OS at a time until you get it to work, then move on... Oh well, glad you got yours to work one way or another

@Dillon you are right, i think it was something i was doing. i tried it again today and it worked great. @TrooperMan the same box saying "Cannot record the ISO file since it has not been created!" still pops up at the end of ISO creation.... this is the only thing i have seen that needs to be fixed... keep up the good work! quick! p.s. - whats the advantage of using the PHP over html as far as your autorun menu is concerned?

Ok, the 'Create Bootable CD' box disappears once the iso is being created, which is good.... but the "Cannot record the ISO file since it has not been created!" message box still pops up. Also, when it is done creating the ISO, the black dos windows doesnt close, it just stays open. I tried opening the ISO that was created and i received an error message and the ISO file was empty...

ok, i tried out the new create iso function and it looks MUCH BETTER with out the 'record to disc afterwards'... one other small thing. After it asks you to pick a location to save the file to, it starts create the ISO using cdimage, but the 'Create Bootable CD' box is still in the background. could you make it to where it automically closes once either the creation of the ISO is started or finished? and the "Cannot record the ISO file since it has not been created!" message pops up after the successful creation of the ISO for some reason....

great.... what is "dvdd******"? where can i download it?

Ok, i got it to work. The line i used in the index.html file is stm_aix("p3i6","p1i0",[0,"Microsoft Windows XP Pro","","",-1,-1,0,"mkiso:../SETUP/XP/BOOT.BIN:WINXPPRO:../SETUP/XP"],365,0); i had to take out the '/ISO//' part and i had to insert the '..' to get it to start from the root of the CD... One thing i noticed was that there is a slash missing because instead of saving the ISO file to the desktop (C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Desktop), it saved the file as C:\Documents and Settings\USER\DesktopWINXPPRO.ISO ... there is a slash missing between the filename and desktop folder... i dont know how to insert this... Please help! thanks

@trooperman what is debug mode? how do i run it in that? does the make iso function work for you?

how is hirens bootcd warez? several of the utilities are only limited and/or trial editions that require purchase of the full software to unlock all the functions....

ok, i tried the ISO Creation function and still no luck.... it is calling cdimage (i can see the little dos screen flash and disappear), but it is not creating it. I tested it with just XP. The location of the XP Folder is 'SETUP\XP' and the boot.bin file is found at 'SETUP\XP\BOOT.BIN'.. i put all those settings in and it still didnt work. Here is what is contained in my index.html file to create the iso... stm_aix("p3i6","p1i0",[0,"Microsoft Windows XP Pro","","",-1,-1,0,"mkiso:SETUP/XP/BOOT.BIN:WINXPPRO:ISO\\SETUP\XP"],365,0); Prior to trying this, i made a BAT file to create the ISO's. Here is what is contained in the BAT file ... start BOOT\CDIMAGE.EXE -lVRMPVOL_EN -t08/23/2001,09:00:00 -b..\SETUP\XP\BOOT.BIN -h -n -o -m ..\SETUP\XP "%AllUsersProfile%\Desktop\Windows XP Pro.iso" I found that in order for the BAT file to work correctly from the CD, the locations of the file needed to be preceeded with a '..\' to tell it to start looking from the root... I tried putting the '..\' before the location of the boot file and path in the index.html, but it didnt help.... Please Help! p.s. - is there a way to remove the 'burn to disc afterwards' part?

Will you fix the make iso function so that 1.) its all in english ... 2.) it saves the iso to whatever directory the user wishes ... 3.) saves it as an ISO file ... 4.) uses cdimage to reduce filesize... sorry if some of those are already fixed, but just wanted to make sure

if you only have one version of each, then you shouldnt need the $OEM$ folder.... and besides, if you use cdimage, it saves size when building the image by not including more than one of the same file.

you need to make sure the files for all the operating systems (XP & newer) have the winnt.sif file in the boot folder and i386 folder.

did you follow the guide? its all laid out in there and he includes pictures....

you could open the ISO with MagicISO and make sure its bootable... if it is not, then you could just load the boot.bin file using MagicISO.

I have made a multiboot dvd with Hiren's BootCD 7.6 on it. I have .BAT files (that are called from the autorun menu) to create standalone ISO's that are saved onto the desktop. The BootCD folder is in the root of the dvd. the command i use is start BOOT\CDIMAGE.EXE -l"Hirens Boot CD 7.6" -t08/23/2001,09:00:00 -b..\HREN.IMG -h -n -o -m ..\BOOTCD "%AllUsersProfile%\Desktop\Hiren's Boot CD 7.6.iso" The problem i am encountering is that when the ISO is created, it puts all the files in the BootCD folder in the ISO.... but i need it to actually put the whole folder itself, and not just the contents of the folder, into the ISO. is there a way to put the whole folder into the ISO or exclude the other folders in the root of the dvd from the ISO?

try using VMware Workstation... i havent encountered a problem with it yet, and plus it now officially supports 64-Bit operating systems.

i am not sure what you mean by "Capture ISO Image"... but creating the boot menu isnt that hard, you just gotta read it carefully because his is way more in depth than what most people need. Pretty much all you need is something telling them to push a key to boot from the dvd ('boot' section), something giving them OS choices ('boot2' menu), and then something pointing the DVD to the OS they chose (Mainkey)... here is what mine looks like.... boot: cls print "\n" print "Press Enter to boot from MultiOS DVD... \n" getkey 5 boot 0x80if $lastKey == key[enter]; then goto boot2 boot2: cls print "1) Windows 98 SE \n" print "2) Windows 2000 Pro \n" print "3) Windows XP Pro (Unattended Setup) \n" print "4) Windows XP Pro 64-Bit Edition \n" print "5) Windows Server 2003 Enterprise \n" print "6) Windows Server 2003 Enterprise 64-Bit Edition \n" print "7) Hiren's BootCD v7.5 \n" MainKey: getkey 20 boot 0x80 if $lastKey == key[1]; then memdisk /98SE.IMA if $lastKey == key[2]; then chain /2PRO.DAT if $lastKey == key[3]; then chain /PRO1.DAT if $lastKey == key[4]; then chain /XP64.DAT if $lastKey == key[5]; then chain /3ENT.DAT if $lastKey == key[6]; then chain /SR64.DAT if $lastKey == key[7]; then memdisk /HREN.IMG i went back and looked at his guide. i put XP SP2 on mine with no problems. just be sure to follow all of his instructions. you may have misread or skipped a step.... please read this post as another user experienced a similar NTLDR problem and got it fixed... http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=53883

oh i forgot to replace "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\Windows XP Pro.iso" with "%AllUsersProfile%\Desktop\Windows XP Pro.iso" ... this is just in case windows is installed somewhere other than the 'C' drive.

I created BAT files that were called from the autorun menu (Mine has a Create Standalone ISO menu and when you click on an OS, it runs the BAT file for that specific OS). Try doing that and see how it works.

if you are using a unattended setup and have a winnt.sif file, you can insert "OemSkipEula = Yes" under the "[unattended]" section.....

you could try either just leaving those files in the root of the directory and using cdshell to point (memdisk) to the IMG file... or you could try putting all the files in a folder and leave just the IMG file in the root and editing the IMG file (or whichever file in that IMG file) to point to the new installation path.
