Weird NTLDR Error


c6comp

Recommended Posts

Ok, so I am trying to make a multiboot dvd. I have Vista x86,x64 and Server 2008 x86,x64 integrated into one install.wim. Then, I have one i386 folder that launches the original windows xp sp3 setup. Then, I have 9 different versions of xp (with/without driverpacks, superlight, light, server 2003, etc.). The problem is that everything works fine if the dvd size is below 3.96 gb. But, even if its just 3.97 gb, i get NTDETECT failed errors. I checked and rechecked EVERYTHING. If anyone has a solution, i would be eternally grateful :thumbup

Maybe NTLDR is located "too far" on the disc (i.e. near the end of the DVD track). Some boot loaders have issues like that. It sounds a lot like it's your issue at least.

Not sure what you used to create your disc ISO either. Usually it works fine.

just copy your winload.exe into root boot directory & rename it as NTLDR

cheers

try ultraiso and allocate files in the order to be on the drive , keep ntldr at starting of the image

How do i do that?

do you have these files n your root

WIN51

win51ip.SP2

There are two different limits.

First one is that of the actual no-emulation bootsector.

Second one is in NTLDR.

You seem to be suffering from the second. :unsure:

Checking the .iso with an utility to check the actual LBA position of the files might confirm this.

Yes, that is the problem that i was having.

create new image with UltraISO

select ntldr right click for File Properties

put max priority( value: 9) for the file

create the iso

And that is the solution! Thanks to everyone who helped me! Everything is working now!
