Dvd To Partition?

[mrd05d]

I want to take my AIODVD and make it so after installing my os of choice it leaves a copy of the unattended in a separate premade partition (Much Like hp or dells backup partition). How do i imitate the cd on the hard drive? The boot sector on a cd is totally different from a hd right?

I guess i should have been a little more direct. I have a couple different ideas on how to do it including using grub etc. What i was actually meaning to ask was how or what do i have grub point to? Like in the DVD AIO i have the bootloader (cdshell i think) point to dat files????

Yep, but unless you actually post your ideas, it is rather difficult for me reading your mind and helping you.

I mean, if you have several FOUR letters folders, like PRO1, W2KS, SV03, etc., the "standard" grub4dos entries would be:

title PRO1
find --set-root /PRO1/SETUPLDR.BIN
chainloader /PRO1/SETUPLDR.BIN

title W2KS
find --set-root /W2KS/SETUPLDR.BIN
chainloader /W2KS/SETUPLDR.BIN

title SV03
find --set-root /SV03/SETUPLDR.BIN
chainloader /SV03/SETUPLDR.BIN

but if the partition is hidden, non active, logical, on 2nd hard disk, etc., etc. you will need additional commands like mapping ones, or makeactive, etc.
