Multiple $OEM$ Folders with EasyBoot


Incroyable HULK

Recommended Posts

I'm almost done with my Multi-Boot Project but there is a question remaining:

Where do I put my Winnt.sif and $OEM$ folder for my Unattended Installations.

For example, I use EasyBoot and I have followed their Instruction Guide and I end up with this structure:

ROOT

|_WIN51 (file)

|_WIN51IP (file)

|_WIN51IP.SP2 (file)

|_EZBOOT (folder)

|_XPEN (folder)

|___Some files (ATAPI.SY_ Etc.)

|___I386

|_____Windows files...

Don't tell me to put the $OEM$ folder at the root because I want to put many Windows Installations...

Hummm... I've decided to do a test with winnt.sif and $OEM$ folder inside my XPEN directory (parallel to the I386 folder).

During the TextSetup portion it looks fine as winnt.sif kicks in and the $OEM$ folder is copied over... but at the beginning of the GUI I get:

After I click OK, I can specify where to find the files (D:\XPEN\I386)

It goes on and on for the following files:

1- asms (it is a folder under I386)

2- NT5INF.CAT

3- NT5.CAT

4- SP2.CAT

5- NTPRINT.CAT

6- NT5IIS.CAT

7- MAPIMIG.CAT

8- FP4.CAT

9- IMS.CAT

10-MSMSGS.CAT

11-HPCRDP.CAT

12-MW770.CAT

13-wmerrenu.cat

14-IASNT4.CAT

15-MSTSWEB.CAT

16-OEMBIOS.CAT

17-tabletpc.cat

18-mediactr.cat

19-msn7.cat

20-msn9.cat

21-netfx.cat

Then I finally get this:

Afterward, Setup goes on ... but I seem to be stuck at the T-37 stage (37-minutes)

Any hint or idea?

YES! YES! YEAHHHH! I GOT IT TO WORK! B)

Basically I started over and followed the guide:

1- http://flyakite.msfnhosting.com/gettingstarted.htm

2- http://flyakite.msfnhosting.com/xpprosp1.htm

the only difference is in the last step where I used the boot sector provided with EasyBoot (w2ksect.bin) and left the file in the ezboot folder (not at root like the guide)

I wanted to check what I had done so far so I started a "regular" Installation under simulation and it worked.

Lastly I followed the guide to do the Unattended part:

3- http://flyakite.msfnhosting.com/unattended.htm

As I am typing theses lines, my simulation is running trought RunOnceEx.cmd and everything worked without a hitch!

Cheers!
