Multi install usb, server 2008 setup lists windows 7 options?

[shadoxity]

Hey everyone,

I have setup a multi installer USB hard drive, it is setup as follows.

partition 1 - xp install and windows 7 x86

partition 2 - windows 7 x64

partition 3 - windows server 2008 x64.

I have the win 7 and x86 as universal disks so you can pick the version to install.

Windows 7 64 and 32bit load up fine and you can pick which OS to install.

when running server 2008 setup, the options for which OS to install come up with windows 7 basic through to ultimate.

I have no idea why this is happening... the ISO i used boots up normally and you can pick which server 2008 version.

Any ideas?

Which approach did you use in assembling the things together?

Are you using grub4dos?

Are you hiding "other" partitions?

Using grub4dos.

I used winsetupfromusb beta 7

Formatted the partitions and installed grub then used that to copy the relevant files over.

Not hiding any partitions. the only other partition is a data one.

Can you confirm that windows 7 x64 works fine from partition 2?

Are all three partitions primary? Which one is active? Is there such?

Can you rename ei.cfg to ei.cfg.bak in partition3\sources and try again?

Win7 x64 Is coming up with all the server 2008 r2 options.

So some how they are switching eachother :S

Partition 1 is active

all 3 partitions are primary partitions and they are now NTFS.

i renamed ei.cfg to ei.cfg.bak in partition 3, now win7 x64 comes up with the correct options. and also server 2008 r2 seems to be coming up with the correct options too :S

I dont get it... this is strange. Should i just leave it like that?

[ilko_t]

I'd leave it as it is since it's working alright now.
