EasyBoot - XP SP3 issues...

[spike4real]

Hi All,

I'm having a few problems with my EasyBoot disc.

I've done the following...

Copied the i386 folder from a XP Pro SP3 OEM disc

Copied and ran the wxp.bat (which copies the necessary files)

Ran the EasyBoot Replace Tool on

- boot.bin to replace I368 with WP3O

- SETUPLDR.BIN to replace i386 with WP30

Edited TXTSETUP.SIF in notepad to change path to \WP30

It boots fine, i select the version but then gets so far into the Setup then asks for the SP3 CD to install ASMS.

Any Ideas!?!

Ah ha! I've solved the mystery!

If you read the guide to EasyBoot it says...

1) Make a folder named 'xpen' under 'c:\easyboot\disk1'

2) Copy 'win51' and 'win51p' (from root directory of original CD) to 'c:\easyboot\disk1'

3) Copy I386 folder to 'c:\easyboot\disk1\xpen'

Where really it should say copy win51, win51p etc into both disk1 and xpen

Hi i've been having the same problem but your solution didnt seem to work for me i still get the same message to insert SP3, any other sugestions? I must have tried every other way apart from the right way.

first copy win51, win51ip and win51ip.sp3 to the ROOT of your dvd

AND to the folder which contains i386 folder

then change the path in txtsetup.sif (in wp30 folder)

to point to the folder which contains i386 folder

if that doesnt work then post you dvd directory tree

cause you probably messed up something there...

I have the same problem. I get Cannot boot cd in Virtual pc.

Here is my directory tree

disk 1

-ezboot

-XP1-(ALSO CONTAINS WIN51, WIN51P,WIN51P.SP3)

-I386

-SYSTEM32

-XP2-(ALSO CONTAINS WIN51, WIN51P,WIN51P.SP3)

-I386

-SYSTEM32

WIN51

WIN51P

WIN51P.SP3

WHAT IS WRONG HERE?

I GET AN "CANNOT BOOT FROM CD-CODE:5"

I DID EVERYTHING THAT I WAS SUPPOSE TO. PTCHED THE BOOT FILES ETC.

ANY IDEAS?
