Well, it's pretty self-explanatory. You need to download the FINDCD.EXE file from his site. Open the file up in a Hex editor. From there it tells you to find where it says %c:\WIN98\SETUP.EXE. Click on the \ in %c:\ and this'll highlight some HEX lettering. Click on the hex numbers and start typing in zeroes. When you're done the part where there was %c:\WIN98\SETUP.EXE should now look like "%c:..............." w/o the quotes. Now, to simplify things, just put type in \WIN51 so it looks like %c:\WIN51 And that's it.

Hmm, I just realized that all I did was save it to C: I tried to save it to My Docs but same issue as you. Saves it to C: as "Documents" no ext.. I guess the best thing to do is save it there first than to where ever else you want to save it to. I'm sure you could run batch files telling it to use specific parameters. Other than that, I'm lost.

Wait, I gave you an old one. Here's the newer one. INDEX.HTML

Ya, I had this prob. The issue resides in the set time = "$hour:$timeMinute$ampm" area. The prob is because the system doesn't know that the $ampm is a new command so it doesn't use it. What you should do is either put a space between the $timeMinute$ampm so it looks like $timeMinute $ampm, or use a non-printing character like a /. Mine looks like this: set time = "$hour:$timeMinute\$ampm" Same goes for the set date = "$month $dateDay,$dateYear" area. Finally, in the area that says: print c "\n\cXXÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ<\c0B$time $date\cXX>ÄÄ \n\n" I don't remember if it has a space where it has the $time $date thing but if it doesn't, add one. This'll fix the issue. Now, you might have a little dash above the title of your boot thing. If you do have one, add an extra /n and the end of the line which prints out the time and date. Or just copy what I got above. This'll clear it up. Post what happens dude. BTW, the above code will look wierd, just replace what looks like a bunch of numbers to what you got in ur cdshell file.

If you got speakers beside the monitor, turn off the monitor, move the speakers away. However, most current speakers have magnetic shielding. Another thing to do is, if you've got a woofer, move it away. BTW, you prolly know this but you shouldn't for anything open up the monitor. I really hope I'm not insulting you, I just wanted to restate it. Good luck with that man!

Well, I doubt you could do it via the mkiso command, but you might be able to make a batch file, essentially like the one explained in flyakite's guide, and include both folders into the ISO. Then from the page that has the mkiso command, change the command to make it similar the the one used to run the setup.exe files but use the batch files. This seems to be the only feasible way I can think of. As for the bootfix.bin file.... Couldn't help you there. BTW, when you say that the CMD files don't run, are you sure you're using the right command to access them?

Here's my fav. Q: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse? A: No. Q: Did you check for blood pressure? A: No. Q: Did you check for breathing? A: No. Q: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy? A: No. Q: How can you be so sure, Doctor? A: (angry) Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar. Q: But could the patient have still been alive nevertheless? A: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law somewhere.

Naw, for win2K, it saves it as Windows2000.ISO. Here's the code: And in the menu.ini file for cdimage i got: [CDImage] Path=BOOT\CDIMAGE.EXE BTW, what would I use DVDDecrypter for? Isn't it only for DVD movies?

Best way I can think of is to install DeepFreeze or a similar product. It creates an image of the current file system, and no matter what you install, at next reboot it brings it back to the original state. However, you'd waste money since it's only for one user. The other way to do it is create new policies under the Local Security Settings program under admin tools. I don't know specifically how to do that since I've never had to but you should be able to look up its capabilities with M$

w00t! It works man! I really appreciate this amd

Dammit..... Is there some other way of calling for a boot disk? Maybe have one premade and saved on the DVD so that when need be I can just call it?

I'll give you a quick folder list AIO-DVD 2PRO 3ENT PRO1 BOOT loader.bin (All the cdimage files) SETUP XP Professional Server2003 Enterprise 2000 Professional MENU Index.html (All the other files that come in the autorun zip file.) PRO1.dat 2PRO.dat 3ENT.dat (The CD_rom, win51, and autorun for the disc are at the root. I hope this'll help. Thanks man. P.S. To change the icon for the drive, I don't know if you still want to, just make a .ico file with dimensions 48x48. I did this with IconWorkshop. Just use the demo. It's pretty good. In the autorun.inf file, put "icon=iconname.ico" without the "" of course. That's it.

Thanks man, I'll try it out. If that don't work, I'll take a look at the simpletest html page I found on the thing. [uPDATE] Nope, dont work. [/uPDATE]

You know, I don't wanna get religious but OMFG! I'm a **** moron. I saved the file as an ini instead of an inf........ jesus..... Oh well, thanks amd for your help. [uPDATE] I get this error message when I try to create a boot disc for any of the OS's I got this code in the file:

Ya, that's what I got. Would it be any different if I burn it to DVD first? Cuz I just got it in ISO format and testing it out via VirtualPC.

That just looks like a wraparound TV. Maybe a gift certificate to Polo would suit you better ey?

This is an awesome App, but I can't get it to run at insertion of DVD. I put it at the root of the dvd. I even put an autorun.ini file telling it to run autorun.exe. Don't run. Can anyone help out?

Okay, here's the manual way. Go to Start->Run->services.msc This'll bring up a prog. screen with a bunch of diff. services on ur system. Click on the Name bar at the top, above the services. This'll sort em out. Now, double-click on the service named Automatic Updates. This'll open up another screen. First, click the stop button, once it's stopped, go to the selection box right above it and choose Disabled. Click Ok. Now, double click the service called Background Intelligent Updater, it's near the auto update service that you just modified. Do the same thing as with the Auto update service. That should do it. No more worrying about auto updates. Hope this helps dude.

Say, I don't suppose this'll work for Redhat would it? I'm gonna try it out anyway, just wanted to ask.

There should be no diff. with multibooting XP/SP2. Only thing is to also include the win51ip.SP2 in addition to the WIN51 and WIN51IP files to root. As for the DVD+RW, also shouldn't be a prob, but if there is, rejoice in the fact that it's fixable.

What kind of bootloaders are you lookin for? I got WinServer2K3/SP1|WinXPPro/SP2|Win2KPro/SP4 I'm trying to add RedHat but maybe one of you guys could help me out?

Now when you say the boot file I saved, are you talking about the one I got from the original cd off by saving with ultraiso?

Well, all I did was I first put the last CD into a directory, than the one before it, and so on, replacing anything it asked me to. Than I put in the first cd last. The next part is important, use UltraISO or another boot file extractor and extract the boot file. Name the boot file to anything, doesn't matter, also don't worry about the extension, just make sure to use the same program later to reload the file. Okay, now, open up the .discinfo file in some third party app since I don't think microsoft lefts you leave it unnamed. Where it has a 1, it's right before it says /Redhat/base... and so on, replace it with 1,2,3 but leave everything else, including the directory lines intact. What this'll do is look for disc 1, 2, and 3 in the same disc where the directories are. Really simple, easier than windows to be honest. Now, when you go to make a new ISO you should have saved the Volume ID from the original discs. If you didn't, no problem, just pop the disc in or open up the original ISO, anyone should work, and look at the properties in the ISO prog. It'll say the Volume ID and other info. Copy this info to the new ISO verbatim. Next, load the boot file that you have saved previously. In UltraISO its Bootable->Load boot file. That's it. Just save the ISO to RockRidge standard, I didn't choose to optimze, in fact, to simplify it, just put the same settings as the original ISO, then test and burn.

I was able to combine the cds for RedHat into one ISO and it worked. However, I'm having trouble combining it to my windows dvd iso. I've looked around here but the thing is that everyone uses Fedora. I'm not sure though since I've heard Fedora is RedHat? I don't know, I'm just lost on this. Also, when I do remake the iso, do I also use the RockRidge format? Thanks to all.

---Edited--- Just install Linux last. It would proabably help if you partition some space before hand. For Windows, you absolutely need to have prepartitioned space before hand. Hope this helps. ---Edited--- I should have said that all windows requires you to have partitioned space before hand since it does not allow partitioning on a drive that's already used. In other words, if you have XP on an unpartitioned hard drive, you wont be able to install Server without formating the hard drive. Good luck.
