April 26, 200521 yr Ok, im making a multiboot dvd, i have extracted the i386 from all of my origional cds, made an autorun menu, extracted the boot sectors from each of the operating systems and put them on the root folder. The problem i am having is the file that enables the cd to boot up. Which file is this, where do i get it, and how do i edit it. i am following flyakite's guide, i checked unattended.msfn and tech-hints and i cant seem to understand. any help? Thanks in advance. Briar
April 26, 200521 yr & Welcome BriarDepending on what menu software you use Easyboot, CDShell etc they all have there own boot file eg CDShell uses Loader.bin.I'm sure a simple search would have uncovered that for you or go the home page & follow the multiboot guide very closely & lotsa testing...Good Luck.
April 26, 200521 yr Author what if you wanted to make a custom .bin file and link that with a simple batch file that gave you your menu choices? has anyone tried this? thanks.
April 27, 200521 yr I haven't bothered to date, but certainly try it....& let us all know how ya went?
April 27, 200521 yr Author Do anyone know the steps the bootloader takes from boot up (and what makes that able to be a bootable file) to the setupldr.bin for whatever operating system you choose? Has anyone written anything on this? i saw a small explanation on flyakite's site, anyone have anything more indepth? Thanks Briar
