ISO file does not start


Recommended Posts

I have that problem since I've integrated some ryan's updates, addons, and nLite Addons for my unattended instalation. When I start VMware and mount the ISO file it doesn't boot. There isn't any text: "Press any key to boot..." and I didn't turned that option in nLite.

Any ideas to solve the problem, mates?

If you still have the folder with the contents of the XP CD, open nLite again, point it to the folder and choose only Create a bootable ISO fro the options. Then, instead of the default engine, choose mkisofs and make another ISO. This should do the trick.

If you have deleted the contents of the folder, then just mount the ISO, copy/paste the contents into the folder and do the above given procedure.

Bootable_NoEmulation.img - this is the only file on my [bOOT] directory.

Which, if it is exactly 2048 bytes in size "seems" right. :unsure:

Let's go on, still in the open in 7-zip .iso, can you locate:

\I386\BOOTFIX.BIN

\I386\SETUPLDR.BIN

\I386\TXTSETUP.SIF or \I386\TXTSETUP.SI_

?

It is very strange, at this point I would think of an iso creating problem.

Can you try creating another bootable .iso with same PC?

As an example try creating this one:

http://www.boot-land.net/forums/?showtopic=2254

which is fairly small/fast to download files for/create, but still uses El-Torito No-emulation bootsector.

Additionally, try booting those .iso in another VM (to check if for any reason the problem is in your VMware install).
