Railman5 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 I use Virtual PC but I think its similar.Silly question but have you created a propper .ISO file and using VMWare/VirtualPC mounted the iso image.I think this is what happened to me till I worked out wha\t was going wrong.I use NLite to create an ISO file from my unattended files from the C or D drive.

BrandenJunior Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 I think the problem is due to the tag files not being present in the root of the drive like WIN51, WIN51SP1..... etc and near the I386 folder as well as the root of the drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidSage Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 also check modified dat/bin files leading to the boot folders. If you hex edited them yourself, a common mistake is appending instead of over-writing the 4 letter boot name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InTheWayBoy Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 What are you using as your 'boot menu'? CDShell, BCDW, etc? Also, what are you using to compile the ISO file?You might wanna post some more info...such as your file structure, programs used, configuration files, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derernesto Posted July 12, 2005 Author Share Posted July 12, 2005 (edited) at first let me say thank you for your help..yeah i created an iso file with cdimage, just like its explained in the flyakite guide.vmware takes this iso file for botting and it works. my "cdshell" boot menu is displayed and its workin.all these files like winip51 etc. are in my rootfolder.my file structure is like:D:AIODVD\......(files to boot like 2PRO.Dat etc.)D:AIODVD\Setup(including all the OS files)D:AIODVD\BOOT(boot menu from cdshell)D:AIODVD\XP\ProD:AIODVD\HOM1D:AIODVD\XP\HomeD:AIODVD\2000\Proetc.........

BrandonS_Mil Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 can you add a picture like so??but based off of what you are saying... i think either you boot folder is to blame, or you boot "datt" file is the problem.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrandonS_Mil Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 1. Adding a picture is simple... save a screenshot in paint... edit... save as JPG. add to post by attaching picture under the attachment link under the reply setion.... when loaded it will ask if you want to show "in" your post... click that link...2. Which setup files are you refering to??? The "Autorun.exe".... that is from Atuo Menu Builder (free with ad)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
