hey People, All right, I got another quick question. Well I really don't know about quick. LOL, ok here goes. I am currently working on my multboot dvd, and right now I am trying to get it to talk to some diagnostic and ulitiy tools that I use. Right now I am working on a western digital - Diagnostic Lifeguard 5.11, and a maxtor - Max Blast 4 diagnostic tools. I got two different downloads on those tool, one way is an iso that you just burn to a cd, and the other way is an .exe file that you insert a 3.5 floppy and it create the boot disk for you. I am having trouble getting my dvd too boot up both tools, using memdisk. Here is what it looks like usinig cdshell. if $lastKey == key[1]; then memdisk /Diagnostic/westerDigital/Diag504cCD.iso Well I found that that did not work at all. So I started reading around, and I am guessing that you need to convert the .iso into a .ima file, or .img file. So I thought I converted it right using WinImage, and tried it again. Well I got a little bit closer this time, and it just flashed a hole bunch of s*** on the montor, and it was in a constance loop, and I had to turn off the computer to get it to stop. So back to the drawing board again. So I guess my question is, WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?? So please someone tell me how the heck do I get this to work. I am all out of ideas. Thanks

UPDATE: Ok the main problem is still here, with the muliboot dvd. I just found this out maybe 2secs ago, ok the windows XP pro SP2, is a realtel version, not and OEM version? So would that make a big difference?

Hey people, I was creating a multi boot dvd rom, and I followed the instructions from http://flyakite.msfnhosting.com/, and I got everything setup for windows XP pro sp2. So I decided to test the cd before moving on to another OP. Well everything went great on booting up, the menu popped up, and when selecting windows XP, it started to boot and started to load the setup files it needs!! Now here is the part what I have having trouble with right now, about half way into loading the startup files before partensting a drive letter to the hard drive, it displays a message saying please inseret windows XP professional into drive A: and press a key to contiune. So I don't have a clue what to do, so if someone can please point me into the right directions that would be great! Thanks

hey people, ok here is the deal, I am creating a mult-boot dvd from this website http://flyakite.msfnhosting.com/. I did the XP pro part, and Windows 98SE part, and did the codding for the menu in cd shell. Well I decided to go ahead and complie cd cd image with cdimage. Then burn it onto a dvd using nero 7. Now here is the part that is troubling me, when I reboot the system with the boot cd in. It started to boot up and then displays an error message. It says can not boot from CD/DVD, please press a key to reboot. and at the bottom on the screen it displays this. 80800AF9. So can anyone help me on how to fix this. Thanks

Hey people, I am new here! LOL I am currently tryiing to make a multi-boot DVD from the guide http://flyakite.msfnhosting.com/ that I found online. Well I did the windows XP part and the Windows98SE part. Then I decided to going ahead and complie it or create the ISO file, whatever you want to call it with cdimage.exe, to test it out to make sure everything is working ok and I did not waste my time, and have to rethink things. ok here is what I did the first time in command prompt. start cdimage.exe -lAIODVD -t08/23/2001,09:00:00 -b\AIO-DVD\BOOT\loader.bin -h -n -o -m \AIO-DVD C:\AIODVD.iso Like what the website said on creating the iso image file All it did was flash another command prompt screen really fast, and did not create the ISO image file. So after poundering a little bit I decided to try this, start cdimage.exe -l"AIODVD" -t"08/23/2001,09:00:00" -b"\AIO-DVD\BOOT\loader.bin" -h -n -o -m "\AIO-DVD" C:\AIODVD.iso with quotes add to the values. That actually started to work, but it gave me and error on -b"\AIO-DVD\BOOT\loader.bin", it said it could not find this, and on the guide it said nothing about the loader.bin file. And I don't have a clue what to do. So if someone could point me in the right direction that is be great! Thanks
