Siginet Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 It seems BootFolder.exe can not Parse the dosnet.inf file of windows using the new DriverPackBase with the Mass Storage DP integrated. I think it is because there are multiple entries in it.Would you mind checking this out? I know it is not a problem with the BootFolder.exe file... but you have a better knowledge of the dosnet.inf file than I do. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LispWarez Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I was just about to post that too. i tried to integrate the BTS's MassStorage driver pack into my XP. Everything worked well as a standalone CD but when i wanted to use BootFolder to make the boot folder it gave me an error. When i looked in the file i found a reference to the error fire twice. the file was ALIIDE.SY_Any chance of another release of BootFolder with this fix??

Nazgul Posted July 8, 2005 Author Share Posted July 8, 2005 Any chance of another release of BootFolder with this fix??Would you mind checking this out? I know it is not a problem with the BootFolder.exe file... but you have a better knowledge of the dosnet.inf file than I do. Although there aren't supposed to be double (or triple, or ...) entries in dosnet.inf, my application was partly at fault, because it gave an error and stopped copying, while it could have handled this situation gracefully.Because I expected the output folder to be empty (and check this in advance) I had set the overwrite bit to false. In this case my app tried to copy the same file twice and it failed to do so on the second copy because the file already existed. I've set the overwrite bit to true to fix this problem.I've also added a /f (force) switch which skips the 'empty target' verification, so you can run the program on an already existing bootfolder to update it. Keep in mind that this only updates new and changed files, but doesn't remove files which are no longer referenced.I've uploaded version 1.3 and modified the first post to reflect the updates mentioned here.

lloydie Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 this is a fantastic tool - it would seem apparent that someone should write an entire intergrated gui that edits all the file as detailed in the original guide. does any one (geekier) than me know of any reason why this has not been done ?license. it would seem an easier enough program for the write person ?

Nazgul Posted July 24, 2005 Author Share Posted July 24, 2005 You mean something like Windows XP PowerPacker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siginet Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 I was thinking the same thing lol.Thanx Nazgul! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lloydie Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 indeed - I have read alot more info on multi boot / unattended and powerpacker is a great tool. I was thinking perhaps a more comprehensive approach with all due respect. a program that includes chshell/bsdw by that l mean you would have a copie of all you os in perhaps iso format start an app like "powerpacker" that asks which os you would like to include and it modifies all the file just like powerpacker and then creates the chshell.ini file for you.

Cdshell is the tool it uses for the boot menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innocent Devil Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 the program is very handy to get the bootfileswhy dont u add x64 support ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screwz Luse Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 I thought it worked on 64-bit. meh... Anyway, it currently doesn't really help, in my opinion, as you can't hex edit the files now to put onto the DVD... Really need to get that figured out sometime. heh.
