jaclaz Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Yep, boot-land had a lot of problems lately and is currently offline for maintenance, being transferred to a new server, it should be back in a couple of days.On 911Cd, that had similar problems with BOTs, some additional measures to prevent automated registering has been taken, from what I can see:http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showuser=44049amit_talkinValidatingyou should either have received a confirmation e-mail or the Admin will send you one shortly.Back to topic:At first sight (but I am NO expert on this matter) your BCD entries seem fine, are you sure that you haven't anything BEFORE that "wrong" (wrong no-emulation bootsector for example)How did you created the .iso/burned the DVD?I mean, if the BCD's are wrong, you should see an error message of some kind.You may want to recreate a CD/DVD with just one entry, following (as an example) a tutorial like this one:http://searchenterprisedesktop.techtarget....1297757,00.htmlWhen it works, you may want to add the second instance and recreate the DVD.This:http://www.msfn.org/board/bootmgr-based-Mu...tly-t99823.htmlmay be useful.jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amit_talkin Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 are you sure that you haven't anything BEFORE that "wrong" (wrong no-emulation bootsector for example)thnx for reminding me that. I had created bootable ISO with wrong boot file. ( using ultraISO ).it was problem of bootsector itself not BCD. tried this time with correct boot file and it worked fine .thnx for your help.Amit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 It's hard to admit that in this instance (and probably in this one only ) it's not the fault of the MS guys and the way they transformed BOOT.INI into something unneededly complex.... Happy for your success. jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
