Anyone know how i could make a cd with a boot menu wich would choose between booting into WinPE (from the CD) and install Windows XP(from the same CD)

I already know how to make the boot menu and everything, i just don't know how to squeeze them both in the same CD

Please help

So the most obvious would be to have it on a DVD instead but maby u aint got one. Next would be to ask which version of WinPE u r using? if u got the Win2003 SP1 based code of PE u can always load WinPE into RAM and @ a convient time, ask the installer to change the CD to the WinXP product CD instead, and of u go... if not that, I dont know.

U can minimize WinPE footprint by using the MS devliered script that comes with ur WinPE (cant remeber what it is named though)

I use a WMI code script to check for the correct CD letter in the comp. Once it got the CD letter, it asks u to change the WinPE boot media for the WinXP CD instead, copy the i386 to the local drive and then u r ready if u wanna..

Best of luck to ya.

The file is SERVERSP1-REMOVELIST.TXT wich is located in the samples directory.

Another way of doing this is to use Gosh's Method to reduce the size of the XP install. You'll loose the ability to upgrade (which I recommend you never do anyways), but you'll save about 210MB on your CD (365MB for XP-SP2 with all updates vs 582). That should be plenty of room for WinPE.
