i tested mine in VMware and it 'autoruns' just fine... you may have autorun disabled in your VirtualPC

that should be an autorun.inf file, and it should contain the following... [AutoRun] open=AUTORUN.EXE icon=AUTORUN.EXE,0

i am not familiar with ERD Commander, but i am sure someone here will be able to help you out... good luck!

did you originally follow his guide to start with? could be that your setupldr.bin file is not edited correctly. i would say go ahead and follow flyakite's guide, its a step by step guide. p.s. - no need to start a new thread for every problem

well i am glad you fixed it, but sometimes the simplest explanation turns out to be the answer and is often overlooked.

haben Sie versucht, auf google zu suchen, um zu sehen, wenn jedermann sonst ein ähnliches Problem gehabt hat? traurig, wenn mein Deutsch nicht sehr gut ist.

i wont ask for an apology (nor do i need one), just that you watch how you speak to people on here.... no one has to help anyone. this is a free site where we can help each and learn alot.... just play nice

wow... being a jerk is really going to make people want to help you. i asked if you read the guide because he tells you step by step what to do and edit.... you need to be sure that the setupldr.bin, txtsetup.sif, .dat file (bootsector) file are all edited according to his guide....

did you read flyakite's guide? if not, you can read it here... http://flyakite.msfnhosting.com/

well i am going to assume that was aimed at me... i am not sure exactly how his batch files work, but when getting the boot folders the 'old fashion' way, the winnt.sif is modified and no longer contains the same info as the one in the i386 folder, which would make it not work. if you have the exact same winnt.sif file in both the boot folder and the i386 folder, then i dont know what to tell you besides to double check by opening the files and making sure the content is what you made. you could also try using nlite to generate the file.

try fantomdvd.... its a one file install (i mean all you do is load the .inf file)... the link to download it is http://www.planetamd64.com/index.php?act=A...pe=post&id=1102

the winnt.sif file needs to be both in the boot folder and in the actual i386 folder. if there is already a winnt.sif file in the boot folder, overwrite it with the one you made.

well, your problem is in the cdshell.ini file... make sure each line in the 'MainKey' section looks something like this "if $lastKey == key[2]; then chain /2PRO.DAT" ... and make sure the files you are chaining actually existing. the 2PRO.DAT file in my example would need to be in the root of your DVD.

i just used the same one i had edited earlier (which replaced the 'i386' with 'xp64' and 'amd64' with 'pro64').... it worked fine, i would say since there is no 'amd64' folder, just replacing the 'i386' should work fine.

sounds like the setupldr.bin file was not editing correctly. i would suggest using VMware to test out the DVD's you make instead of burning cd's that become coasters... also, make sure the .DAT file in the root points to whatever folder you created that contains the boot files.

you could make an image file from the floppy (.IMA or .IMG) and edit it to point to the folder that contains the installation files. and just out of curiosity, what the heck you gonna do with those old OSes?

again, your solution work great. i also found that the 'XP64' and 'PRO64' are not necessary. Just take the boot folder ($WIN_NT$.~BT) and rename it to something else (i did mine to XP64) and then edit the setupldr.bin file & replace all instances of "I386" with "XP64", then edit the boot image to show XP64 instead of i386. this is a way to have 1 less folder in your root. i have the x64 boot folder if anyone needs it.

@geitonaki the 64bit installed PERFECTLY!!! i used your method to disable the checksum and created XP64 & PRO64 folders and everything worked great. i will try your batch file and see how it works. thanks

how does it work? do we just put it in the root of the installation folder?

open the file 'c:\out.txt'... itll have the complete list in there

go to a command prompt and navigate to the directory where the txtsetup.sif file is and copy/paste the following.... 'type TXTSETUP.SIF | findstr /r ",_[1-9] ,[1-9]_" > c:\out.txt' (geitonaki stated this on the first page)

replace these, "\AMD64" & "AMD64\" & "\amd64" & "amd64\" (without the "" marks)

GREAT JOB!!!... one quick thing, when i go to the cmd prompt and typed in the above command, it lists all the files, but it starts with 'H'... since there are so many, i dont know what files are needed that start with a letter before 'H'.... could you post a .txt file with the needed files? thanks

which 2 bytes man?!?!? tell us how you did it. if the file is small enough, you can just attach to your post...

For some reason, when i put the installation file in the 'Setup\Win98', it didnt work right, so i created a 'Win98' folder in the root of the dvd and put the entire cd contents in there So basically, create a WIN98 folder in the root of your AIO-DVD, then copy the entire contents of your windows 98 cd to that folder. then download this 98SE.IMA file and put it in the root of your AIO-DVD. it can be downloaded here .... http://rapidshare.de/files/6375376/98SE.IMA.html The file doesnt need to be edited, just place it in there. Here is what your directory structure should look like... AIO-DVD\98SE.IMA AIO-DVD\WIN98 AIO-DVD\WIN98\ADD-ONS AIO-DVD\WIN98\CDSAMPLE AIO-DVD\WIN98\DRIVERS AIO-DVD\WIN98\TOOLS AIO-DVD\WIN98\WIN98 AIO-DVD\WIN98\SETUP.EXE AIO-DVD\WIN98\AUTORUN.INF AIO-DVD\WIN98\README.TXT
