Hi,

I'm currently following the howto located here: http://flyakite.msfn.org/ in order to create a multi boot dvd containing windows xp and windows server 2003.

It worked fine for XP, when I press 1, the XP setup boots. But for windows server 2003 (standard), the error "NTLDR missing" appears. I noted that when I replace I386 with my hey editor it replaces that string 6 or 7 times and not like for xp only 4 times. The windows server 2003 cd that I use is updated to the updates released until november 2007 using nlite.

My cdshell.ini looks like this:

#
# Sample startup script demonstrating some basics.
# For CD Shell 2.0, Feb 2003
#

# Set the name of the file we will attempt to start

boot:
cls
print "\n"
print "Press Enter to boot from DVD... \n"
getkey 5 boot 0x80
if $lastKey == key[enter]; then goto menu
# When no key found...
goto boot

menu:
cls
print "1) Windows XP Professional mit Updates von 11/07 \n" 
print "2) Windows Server 2003 mit Updates von 11/07 \n" 

MainKey:
getkey 20 boot 0x80
if $lastKey == key[1]; then chain /PRO1.DAT
if $lastKey == key[2]; then chain /3STD.DAT

i used both the 3STD.DAT offered on that website and I also extracted it myself.

I would appreciate help. Thanks!

It is possible that you are hexediting it the "wrong" way, read this:

but you should have a checksum error, the "NTLDR is missing" comes from the bootsector.

this should help if you want to start win2k3 setup out of folder renamed (from i386 to something else)

open setupldr.bin with hex editor

go to hex address 0x2060

replace value 74 03 with EB 1A

save file

now you can edit setupldr.bin by replacing 5 occurences of i386 and 2 occurences of I386 with whatever you want,

although i assume you've alrerady done so
