gospeed Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 (edited) Completely FED UP with CdShell and its errors. Tried different brands of disk, different drives, and different pc's. CdShell boots up about once out of 10 times, when its in the mood. The other times it gives and error with a code that apparently has not been decoded, as a google search only finds more problems like mine. I could deal with it if it wasnt so intermittent. I need something RELIABLE!I am not familiar with any boot menu's besides cdshell and bootscriptor, and I am trying to find something that is similar (Easy to learn!), yet current and supported. Can I get some recommendations? Again, ease of use for me is most helpful. Maybe someone has a sample of their boot menu I could take a look at to see how its set up? I like how easy to understand both cdshell and bootscriptor were. Thank you in advance! ----Jeff Edited July 3, 2007 by gospeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[deXter] Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Bootable CD Wizard is what I use the most. I found it the most compatible and easiest to use.There's also EasyBoot, which is by far the easiest GUI based system I've come across. It supports mouse and multiple resolutions, and hasn't failed to boot on any of the systems so far. It's not free though. ($29.95). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gospeed Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 Thanks for the quick advise, checking out BCDW right now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kof94 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Isolinux all the way. You can also find a mini guide right here in the forum.Might seam daunting at first but believe me, it's much easier to use than CDShell or BCDW and it's still in active development.

ajy0903 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 (edited) well..... [deXter]....there is free ones also....im sure u knew about it.....and i think bcdw will be goneforever, according to what i heard. so, end of bcdw is the version 2.01 i think.look at here: http://bcdw.wolfgang-brinkmann.de/faq/b7_bcdw2_e.html Edited July 4, 2007 by ajy0903 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gospeed Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 (edited) Well, I played with bcdw a bit and really like it, and it seems to be stable on all my machines which cdshell was not. I will likely get into isolinux at some point, but for now this will work just fine! thanks everyone B)And in response to the end of bcdw, what is it with all the great people in our hobby just disappearing? Poof! Gone . Edited July 5, 2007 by gospeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
