jenanay Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Hi Everyone Im new to making multiboot dvd, but thought it would be a great project for my os class. I have followed FlyaKite's instructions, made the iso and burned it, but when I boot to the dvd the menu comes up, and I can select, but then it says "Cannot Find Nt Loader". Any ideas on what I did wrong and how I can fix it? Any help would be great! Thanks!Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amd64lover Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 sounds like the setupldr.bin file was not editing correctly. i would suggest using VMware to test out the DVD's you make instead of burning cd's that become coasters... also, make sure the .DAT file in the root points to whatever folder you created that contains the boot files.

jenanay Posted October 19, 2005 Author Share Posted October 19, 2005 Ok well that got rid of the ntloader problem. Now XP is working fine. But Im having other errors when I try to boot up 2000 Advanced Server and the rest of my os'sError : File not foundCommand: chain Line 122.2 File: Cdshell.iniIts gotta be a problem with my boot file but I have no idea what. This is the first boot file I have made. Thanks.Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amd64lover Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 well, your problem is in the cdshell.ini file... make sure each line in the 'MainKey' section looks something like this "if $lastKey == key[2]; then chain /2PRO.DAT" ... and make sure the files you are chaining actually existing. the 2PRO.DAT file in my example would need to be in the root of your DVD.

amd64lover Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 you really need to use cdimage... it prevents duplicate files and reduces the overall size of the dvd... did you create a folder in the root of your C drive called AIO-DVD? if so, then put cdimage in the root (NOT in the AIO-DVD folder) and open up a command prompt and type the following.... (do not type <hit enter>... actually hit the enter key )cd.. <hit enter>cd.. <hit enter>start cdimage.exe -lAIODVD -t08/23/2001,09:00:00 -b\AIO-DVD\BOOT\loader.bin -h -n -o -m \AIO-DVD C:\AIODVD.iso <hit enter>let us know how this works out for you.... if your AIO-DVD isnt in the root of your C drive, let us know where its at.

kynx Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I had added the AIO-DVD folder and the cdimage.exe in the root folder. I had also run the command that is given, nothing happened.start cdimage.exe -lAIODVD -t08/23/2001,09:00:00 -b\AIO-DVD\BOOT\loader.bin -h -n -o -m \AIO-DVD C:\AIODVD.isoIs there anything that i need to change ?I don't think i have the loader.bin in the boot folder.

kynx Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 ok, i found the loader.bin. I can't seems to build the ISO using the cdimage.exe...After i enter the command, the screen just flashed and nothing happened, no ISO created.However, i can create the ISO using the GUI version of cdimage. After which, i boot up using vmware, it report that no bootable cd found in the ISO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amd64lover Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 the command prompt version works... did you put the loader.bin file in the boot folder? but i guess if you are using the GUI version, that works too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kynx Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Still no bootable CD detected....created by the GUi version, the command prompt doesn't work....anyway, i only did for winxp pro and win2003 ent.wondering what might the problem ?Do i need to do for all the list OS and extras ?thank you for your patience...ernest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
