jaclaz Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 What can I do with it?Nothing.From what you posted earlier, you got from your friend a 64 bit version of bcdedit.exe and you are running a 32 bit OS, it WILL NOT work.jaclaz
krzyk91 Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 Yes, but I copied a 32 bit version and it doesn't work properly. The 64 bit version didn't start. But I tried the instructions from the topic on Windows Vista and 7, but there are 64 bit. Does it disturb? What else can I do?

What else can I do?Get access to a 32 bit Windows 7 or install Windows 7 in vmware or virtualbox and do the needed operations in there. Copy bootmgr to the host os and you're done.atolica
sanyinet Posted September 13, 2010 Posted September 13, 2010 great job, but thanks if you can find a solution to have a boot menu with two different operating systems namely Windows Vista and 7 in the single dvd? I tried to create two different boot.wim, I appeared well installation menu and I started well but the problem is the view that asking the driver ...
atolica Posted September 13, 2010 Author Posted September 13, 2010 to have a boot menu with two different operating systems namely Windows Vista and 7 in the single dvd?That's what my guide is for. To have two or more operating systems in one dvd.What driver? Can you be more specific?

atolica Posted September 20, 2010 Author Posted September 20, 2010 (edited) There are some configurations, mainly sata/ide controllers that aren't properly detected.If you get the cd/dvd error, unplug all the other harddrives and optical and leave just the harddisk you're installing to and the dvd drive you're installing from. Ususally that does it. If you're still getting that error, install windows 7 from an usb flash drive.A good tool to create a bootable windows 7/xp/vista usb is Novicorp WinToFlash Edited September 20, 2010 by atolica
grabben Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) Seems like a nice script:)Can someone perhaps clarify exactly what to do? and perhaps what bootable wimfiles, the boot.wim?What is the folder layout? Vista AIO (for example) in one folder and 7 AIO in another folder on a root/workfolder?Or just Workfolder\DVD\boot\7boot.wim & vboot.wim and the rest? Edited September 22, 2010 by grabben
atolica Posted September 22, 2010 Author Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) Read thoroughly the first post, my post. Everything is explained there. Just rename the wim files.copy the boot.wim file in sources folder of active boot disk/ ghost pe/ erdcommander 6.0 to the sources folder in disk1 in the project. and rename it to desired. I renamed it to boot32.wim you may use any...boot32, erdcom.wim, etcOr just Workfolder\DVD\boot\7boot.wim & vboot.wim and the rest?The wim files are to be copied in the sources folder. You Don't touch boot.wim! Only the "bcd store" is altered together with the wim files in the 'SOURCES' folder from the dvd root.Read the 1st post! Edited September 22, 2010 by atolica

MrBeen Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Hello,I want to do a multiboot CD with 2 different programs.1)ResetWindowsPasswordStdEdt2)O&O_DiskImageProfthe 2 progs have in root directory a file named "BOOTMGR"If I copy these 2 progs 1) and 2) onto my CD, one of these files will be overwritten and no more accessible by one of these programs.I suppose that these 2 BOOTMGR-files are necessary!!What to do now ????????????????Thank you for your kind help
jaclaz Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 I suppose that these 2 BOOTMGR-files are necessary!!What to do now ????????????????Thank you for your kind helpYou are supposing "wrong".BOOTMGR is a BOOT ManaGeR, the one that comes with Vista , Server 2008 and Windows 7.Various versions of BOOTMGR are backwards compatible.The BOOTMGR file is run from the bootsector of the CD/DVD and reads it's settings from the BCD store a file that is usually in \boot\BCD.You normally have only one BOOTMGR and only one BCD, this latter with multiple choices.READ the initial post of this thread, essentially it tells how to edit the contents of the boot\BCD to have in it the multiple choices.jaclaz

Additionally, recent reports imply that BOOTMGR versions *all* work, or at least we have here an example where the Vista SP0 version is used to initiate the install of many later versions:http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=8043https://sites.google.com/site/rmprepusb/tutorials/how-to-create-a-usb-drive-that-will-install-vista-win7-and-server-2008OT, but not much a nice BCD editor can be found here:http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=10003&hl=jaclaz
