Multi-Boot'n Longhorn build 5112...

[qzmicro]

Hi guys, just wondreing if anyone had a tutorial for Multi-Booting longhorn. I have build 5112, not 4051 like in flyakite's tutorial. So, if anyone knows how to do it or has a URL, I'd really appreshiate it. Much obliged...

If you are talking about "Vista Beta 1" try this:

First follow these sections from flyakite's tutorial for Longhorn 4051:

-Renaming the CD Shell Folder

-Editing "cdsh.bin"

-Editing "loader.bin"

Then copy these folders from vista beta DVD:

-boot

-drivers (optional?)

-sources

and these files:

-boot.ini

-bootmgr

-readme.htm (optional?)

-readme.txt (optional?)

Extract the boot sector with IsoBuster and rename it to VISTA.DAT.

-You don't need to edit because it already points to \boot.

and put this in cdshell.ini:

if $lastKey == key[x]; then chain /VISTA.DAT

Worked like a charm. Thank you so very much. Not sure where I went wrong on the tutorial, because I was sure I did everything you just mentioned. I simplified and took out all OSes other than Longhorn, and it worked... now I am going to try and add the other oses... I'm sure I'll get it done from here. Much obliged.
