  1. That can't be the "only" way. As Mazarul has R.C. as an option on his DVD boot menu. To Mazarul- If I get you right, basically you pop in your dvd, the system boots off the disk and presents you with a menu (this takes a few seconds to get here?). You then select R.C. from your menu and a few seconds later it asks you which install to log in to to RC. Right? What I'm asking is, at any point, before or after you choose the menu, does XP have to load all the drivers and utilities and such like it does when you want to go to RC from a regular XP CD? Or does none of that preloading take place and you just go strait to RC? Hope those questions make sense. I'm trying to figure out if RC REQUIRES loads of drivers and utils and ram drive and all that to be able to run. I'd like to know just how this DVD of yours is laid out and how it works. Or can you give us a link to a tutorial or something that explains how to make the same DVD you have? Let's not give up fellas, if somebody creates a boot disk just with RC, it'll be the first one on the net!
  2. Seems to me it aught to be simpler then using a special boot loader and hexing files. And why hex and not just leave it i386 anyway? For those of us who want a boot CD with ONLY RC on it. Seems to me that if RC can be installed to your hard drive with no more then a folder and an entry in boot.ini, it should be similarly easy to place those same files on a CD and call it somehow? Can someone explain how that might be done? After reading these threads, are we supposed to take the bootsect.dat and make that the cd-rom boot sector or something? Or instead use a normal boot sectore from anything, and then call that file somehow? Because when RC is installed to the hard drive, all the boot.ini does is point to bootsect.dat /cmdcons. From what I've played with, thist just can't work from a CD. So I'm still trying to find out how to just put RC on a CD and boot strait to it, no pressing keys, not questions or menus, just a strait RC boot disk. Getting there though!
  3. This is my first post here, and this is exactly the question I needed to ask. But not on a multiboot CD. I just wanted to know how to get a bootable CD that can go right into Recovery Console. There is already a discussion of this on another forum I'm on: http://www.techspot.com/vb/showthread.php?...4312#post254312 I'm so close, but need to know any more details about RC I might be missing.
