Incroyable HULK Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 hum.. not sure you are in the right forum ... anyway here it goes:you have to enter the BIOS of your virtual machine by pressing F2 at startup and then make sure your CDROM is the first boot device.

greg_285 Posted November 25, 2004 Author Share Posted November 25, 2004 Hello,I think that this is OK because I boot on my iso file, I think that the problem cames from the iso file, I don't how to make it really bootable, maybe I have missed one or more filesGreg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynamite Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Greg, try mounting your image onto a virtual drive with daemon tools and set the BIOS (press F2) to boot from this drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg_285 Posted November 26, 2004 Author Share Posted November 26, 2004 Hello,Dynamite --> I have done this manipulation, same result (booting from iso loaded in daemon tool)BritishBuldog---> I've made my iso with cd image pro from the msfn unantend website..BUt I think that there is a problem with my iso file, do we need to add something in order to boot on it ?For infos here is my xpcd root folder :My original xp cd is with sp1 integrated, and the original cd works... so maybe I've just missed to add a file to my xp cd unanttendGreg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekrel Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 from the looks of your screenshot, you have not slipstreamed SP2 into it, as there is no .sp2 file, but a .sp1 file.unattended CDs need SP2 to operate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incroyable HULK Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 Well, did you use the proper setting in nero with your boot sector?EDIT: sorry, I just realised you are building an ISO image...@MekrelThere is no need to slipstream SP2 to operate an Unattended CD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritishBulldog Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 sounds like something is wrong with the xpboot.img in cd image pro.try downloading again.and you do not need sp2 to make an unattended cd.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
