First : http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...ndpost&p=270687

Second, what did you do? specifically so we can diagnose the problem. Did you use nLite? How did you modify your Windows source?

[alkmie]

i did not use nlite i did it manual the problem started when i modifed winntbbu.dll

but i reverted back to the source to see if that would fix it and it didnt

the only other thing i changed before it happen was i took a driver out of the oem install becuase the dll refused to copy during text setup

from

OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\0audioHDrealtek;Drivers\0TVTunerASUSTBird;Drivers\0videoATIUnified;Drivers\0keyboard"

To

OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\0audioHDrealtek;Drivers\0TVTunerASUSTBird;Drivers\0videoATIUnified"

i current have this line complete omited but that didnt fix the problem either

i am using all file unmodded from source except for setupldr.bin winnt.sif and txtsetup.sif

Thanks For the Reply

[Alanoll]

i am using all file unmodded from source except for setupldr.bin winnt.sif and txtsetup.sif

Excluding WINNT.SIF, how did you change the other two?

It's the only thing I can think of is something either is messed up (bad CD IMAGE, inwhich case recreating may fix, or some files is missing/edited wrong)

[alkmie]

i edited txtsetup with notepad changed path to

SetupSourcePath = "\XPRO"

i edited setupdlr with a hex editor changing the I386 to IPRO

who ever posted this had the same problem im having

if you could tell how u fixed id be very appreciative

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=39033

till then ill try remaking the setupdlr

...Doh' i check my setupdlr.bin and it was unmodded

[Alanoll]

did it work PRIOR to changing everything to a multiboot format? (editng the files)

[alkmie]

well i changed the i386 in setupdlr.bin to IPRO and it still hangs

it worked as multiboot till i edited the winnt.sif and took my driver out then also try custom install screen then i re isoed and now it hangs but i demodded the install screen but still cant figure out what could causing the hang

my cd looks like this

BOOT

IPRO

----modifed setupdlr.bin pointing to IPRO

----modifed txtsetup.sif pointing to XPRO

XPRO

----I386

----modifed setupdlr.bin pointing to IPRO

----modifed txtsetup.sif pointing to XPRO

and it still hangs at 35mins trying to load drivers

step back in your progress, and get a simple disc working again.

I honestly don't know the problem, but that's the only advice I have. Take a step back. If need be, start over so you know you haven't missed something.

i went straight from source again and now it works...one of the files must of copyed bad im guessing--.thanks a bunch
