Pantner Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Ok, i have put Windows ME boot disk IMA onto my Multi Boot DVD...when i try and run it in VMWare, i get a "The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. You will need to power off or reset the virtual machine at this point."error message...i thought it might just be a weird thing with VMWare, so i burnt it onto a DVD, and the computer just locks up at the same stage...my thinking is that its a problem with memdisk??anyone seen this before??

Daemonforce Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 That's why I have been asking around if memdisk should be used for floppy emulation. You shouldn't be getting that from a WinME bootdisk if I don't. I get that error when emulating some hard disk setup programs and a few other tools.

Jotnar Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 The later versions of MemDisk support WinME bootdisks just fine. If you use one of the older versions you'll get the hanging screen. Get the latest memdisk here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chriskoivu Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 I havent had any problems with memdisk and WinME.... Read Flyakite's tutorial on adding WinME..you basically would download the boot image from the internet.. I used boot98se.ima, edited autoexec.batto run setup, created an image file thru WinImage, naming it ME.ima and edited cdshell.ini to memdisk.ie.. memdisk /ME.ima Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jotnar Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Whoops....sorry about that. I forgot to mention you had to use an extra switch with memdisk.you need to specify "raw"from my isolinux.cfg:label 8 kernel memdisk append raw initrd=/utils/images/boot/bootme.zipCheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise Diskemu is a better choice to run an image of aninstallation. It would be nice if people can appreciate people trying to help out instead of lashingout like a 3 yr old child Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
