How to add back the "Press any key to boot from cd..."


Recommended Posts

I ran a search but all I found was how to remove it...or how to add it to a WinPE disk, but not how to add it back to a standard winxp iso. I must have accidentaly remove it with nLite I think. Is there any way to put it back bcs lots of my friends have their machines to boot from cd, so in this case u realise they will go to trough and endless loop if they don`t eject the cd during the first reboot....

If you're talking about the already created/burnt CD then no. Just use your last_session.ini and run nlite again, and unopt that option...

I gave Nlite a quick runthrough on Win2K, only choosing the option to remove "press any key".

Nlite deletes these files:

BOOTFIX.BIN

CLOCK.AV_

RELATED.HT_

UNATTEND.TXT

The Following were added:
Last Session.ini

Last Session_u.ini

NLHIVE.INF

NLITE.IN_

WINNT.SIF

The following files were changed:
DOSNET.INF

FONT.IN_

HIVECLS.INF

HIVEDEF.INF

HIVESFT.INF

HIVESYS.INF

HIVEUSD.INF

INTL.INF

MCHGR.IN_

SFCFILES.DL_

SYSOC.IN_

SYSSETUB.DL_

SYSSETUP.DL_

SYSSETUP.IN_

TSHOOT.IN_

TXTSETUP.SIF

It may just be a matter of adding back the deleted files - which should possibly be similiar on XP, if they weren't referenced in any of the added files. That I am not sure about.

Would appear theres no mention of the "press any key boot" option in the session.ini as well.
