Hi there,

Having some trouble with usb multiboot 10. After formatting my pendrive, I try to use option 1 to set the location of the XP source, however I get the following cryptic message:

"Enter your choice: 1

Please Select your XP Setup Source Folder containing I386 Folder

and was unexpected at this time."

That's it, then it puts me back at c:/usb_multiboot_10

Any thoughts?

What is your OS , Vista or XP ?

What is the path of your XP Setup Source folder that you want to select ?

After you enter 1 there should appear a folder browser window launched by .vbs routine.

It might be that VBS is not installed on your computer.

Check if you have C:\WINDOWS\system32\cscript.exe and file wscript.exe

In folder USB_MultiBoot_10\u_script you can double-click on file FolderSel.vbs to see if folder browser window appears.

I'm running XP, SP3.

My source is drive I, it's a virtual drive mounted by Alcohol 120%.

I have the files in system32, and when I run foldersel.vbs, a folder browser does indeed appear.

I'm stumped!

My source is drive I, it's a virtual drive mounted by Alcohol 120%.

In that case, Copy first the content of drive I: to folder e.g. XPRO in root of your Harddisk Data partition.

Then run USB_MultiBoot_10.cmd

Same result

What is the path of USB_MultiBoot_10 folder ?

Try to unzip as USB_MultiBoot_10 folder in root of Harddisk Data partition.

Otherwise try GUI program of ilko_t

Or try New approach:

Install of XP from USB without booting from USB using U_XP_SET with GUI programs

usb_multiboot_10 is sitting in the root of the hard drive, I.e. c:/usb_mutliboot_10

I'll try ilko_t's one for now and see if it works

Good news, the process works! Things look good from here, thank you very much for your help

Thanks for your reply.

Succes with Install of XP from USB
