CptMurphy Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 It's not so much that it's empty, it's just that the installation wants to see this file to confirm that you got the right CD in. Just have it in there, it'll work just fine. Mines is also empty. If it doesn't work, I would start from scratch with the 2K side and just make sure I completely follow the guide ver batem.

chriskoivu Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I have the Bootmenu come up fine, select Windows XP or 2000 to install from, it does its thing, but when it reboots to install Windows after copying the files as it normally does in setup, the system goes right back to bootmenu and starts over again. has anyone figured out how to bypass the bootmenu, so I could go straight back to windows setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amd64lover Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 if you wait like 20 seconds or so, itll boot from the hard drive. or if you wanted, you could add an option to the boot menu to go boot from the hdd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriskoivu Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Thanks for the response, but that is not what I meant... When you allow the cdshellto boot from the hard drive, it gives you a linux command prompt... I want to bypassthe menu from coming up to go straight into windows. During the boot process, thesystem checks the boot folder for the loader. bin file... I am looking for a way to eitherhave an option to bypass the menu, or load the menu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amd64lover Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 lol... if you dont want to boot from the CD, then take it out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatGuyBob Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 When booting from the hard drive, it'll only give you a linux command prompt if you have linux installed on your hard drive. If you don't have linux installed, then something else is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriskoivu Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I found a solution.... I am using a command called bootcheck to see if partition is bootable, and ifit is then I have a menu pop up to go to menu or boot os....If the partition is not bootable, it will go right to setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
