You should use winimage to make the .iso and define the bootsector file in the commandline

e.g.

start cdimage.exe -lDVD-CD Label here -t08/23/2001,09:00:00 -b\AIO-DVD\BOOT\loader.bin -h -n -o -m -yd \AIO-DVD(dir with dvd content) D:\Output file.iso

-b\AIO-DVD\BOOT\loader.bin

thats the bootsector for my dvd

hope this helps

don't use WinISO you will run into corruption issues. Set loader.bin as the boot file and rebuild your ISO so it's fresh.

For starters you are going the wrong way really for creating a single OS CD, u can use the multiboot method but u dont have to...All you need to do is take the Files/folders from your /Server2003/Enterprise folder and copy them to something like C:\server2003.

You will then end up with 2003 Enterprise within this folder with folders like i386, tools etc. Then all you need to do is place CDimage and a copy of the 3ENT.dat into c:\ and modify the entery within 3ENT.dat back to i386 then rename it to 3ENT.BIN. Then Run Cmd then the command CD\ to take you to the root of C:\ then run

cdimage.exe -lWIN2003ENTCD -t07/22/2004,09:00:00 -bc:\3ENT.BIN -h -n -o -m c:\Server~1 C:\2003ENT.iso
