avanderbeek Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Hi there,I have a non bootable WinXP cd. Now the problem is; XPCREATE constantly keeps asking for XPCTBOOT.BIN.Is there any workaround or solution? I have tried some options I found in some other topics but they didn't really work out. Thanks in advance, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarquel Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Hi avanderbeek - welcome to MSFNI have a non bootable WinXP cd.{/QUOTE}There's your problem. If it doesnt boot (as it is) - ie, it doesnt contain the boot block to be ripped in order to use in xpcreate's build, then you will need to purchase a cd that *DOES* have a boot block.Either your using the XP Update CD which I think, by its design is only designed to be installed "on top" of a existing version of windows and doesnt boot (as i recall - although I dont have one so cant be 100% on this) or you are using a illegal copy of windows which hasnt been copied properly or "a friends" copy that he/she has made for you.Either way, you'll need a proper XP CD (OEM/Retail/Vol) to be able to extract a boot block from.Regards,N.

GreenMachine Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 That it_ybd beat me again!Welcome, avanderbeek, to MSFN!Yes, if you start with an unmodified installation of XPCREATE.INI, and an original WIndows CD, XPCREATE shuold find all it needs to create a bootable ISO. If you enter the CD driver letter in XPCREATE.INI, it should produce a bootable CD. Works for most everyone ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krismark Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 @avanderbeek- Maybe your CD is damged or you just have an issue getting XPCTBOOT.BIN from it. I have attached the one I use Just rename XPCTBOOT.txt to XPCTBOOT.BINXPCTBOOT.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
