sawwa7 Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 hi guysi'd like to use CDSHELL to build a boot menu that contains some options to run , i want to add running WinPE option in my boot menu .as far as i know , i need to have a boot image , where can i find the boot image that i should copy to the images folder whic will be run when choosing this option?another big problem which needs to be solved .. that's i can't copy all the WinPE contenents to my CD root cause i have other folders for other options , so i need to put the contents of the WinPE into a separated folder in the CD root .. now, what modifications do i need to let WinPE starts from the Separated folder using the boot image in Images folder?well , i'll try to make it more close .. let's assume that i'll make a folder named WinPE on the my CD root and will copy all the WinPE contenets to that folder , i need an image file to copy in my boot Images folder inorder to chain it when choosing any option from the boot menu script .. hope it's more clear now .if any one can guide me or give any hints or links on how to do that , i'd be really grateful .best of luck to all of uregards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidSage Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 It's the same process....make the PE ISO.....extract all files to a folder ROOT.Modify the boot file (xxx.dat) to point to a 4 character directory that was once your PE's I386 folder (lets call it XPPE). Now edit XPPE/setupldr.bin, changing all occurances of i386 to XPPE wiith a Hex editor. Now add everything else making sure all folders/files that were at root are copied in like fashion.Personally... I make the OS boot folder names unique so all I have to do is just put a PE build in w/o changing a thing. Heres how my directory looks.....ROOT---XP01 Boot folder for XPInstall---XP02 Boot folder for XPInstall---I386 BartPE---PROGRAMS Used by the PE---Documents and Settings Used by the PE---BOOT CDShell -----CDshell folders,etc -----Files I keep boot files in here -----XP I keep XP Builds here -------XP01 XP Install -------XP02 XP InstallDon't forget the files that must stay at root (win51's , for PE include winbom.ini)If you use ReatoGo or a different type of PE, you may or may not have D&S, PROGRAMS folders. Just remember the dir. structure mst be the same when you add it to a multiboot distro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
