kof94 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 (edited) First, start using cdshell I've found it alot more dynamic. Alot more work but it's worth it.Make a boot sector with UltraISO and place it on your multiboot with the rest of your boot sectors.Place all folders as you see them on the Knoppix disc to the root of your multiboot.Use the BCDW module to load the boot sector.Use the -j1 parameter with cdimage when making your iso.If you need help with cdshell look here.http://flyakite.msfnhosting.com/Sorry this is abit rushed, if you need more help I'll check back tomorrow.

kof94 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 (edited) OK, so you want spoon feeding do you?Believe it or not this is one of the more simple things to do. Either that or I was just lucky!Follow the guide for putting XP into a multi-boot first. Work on that until you've got it right and tested it fully.If you want a simple cdshell.ini file copy this in to Notepad relable it and put it in your 'BOOT' folder:boot:clsprint "\n"print "Press Enter to boot from DVD... \n"getkey 5 boot 0x80if ($lastKey == key[enter]); goto menu# When no key found...goto boot# Printing the Interfacemenu:set textColor= color[grey on black]set boldColor= color[cyan on black]clsprint c "\cXXÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ\n\n"print c "\cXXXP/KNOPPIX MULTI BOOT\n\n"print c "\cXXÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ\n"print "\n"print "\n"print "\n"print "\n"print c "[F1] Windows XP Professional SP2\n"print c "[F2] Knoppix 4.0.2\n"print "\n"print "\n"print "\n"print "\n"print "\n"print "\n"print "\n"print "\n"print "\n"print "\n"print "\n"print c "\cXXÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ\n"print l "\cXX[C] Command Prompt [B] Boot Harddisk [R] Reboot\n"getkeyif $lastKey == key[F1]; then chain /PRO1.DATif $lastKey == key[F2]; then bcdw boot /KNOP.DATif $lastKey == key[c]; then endif $lastKey == key[r]; then rebootif $lastKey == key[b]; then boot 0x80goto menuAs you may or may not be able to see if you press F1 then cdshell will try to chain boot PRO1.DAT at the root of your multi-boot disc.If you press F2 it will try to bcdw boot KNOP.DAT from the root of you multi-boot disc.These .DAT files are the boot sectors from XP and Knoppix. (PRO1 for XP and KNOP for Knoppix)To make these files download Ultra.ISO from here:ezbsystemswhen you've installed it do this:Open UltraISO Insert your original disc Go to 'file' (at the top)Click 'open cd/dvd'When it opens go to 'bootable' (at the top) Click 'save boot file'A box will open with the option to save the file as a .bif file. name it to the approprite name (PRO1 for XP or KNOP for Knoppix) and save it to the root of your multi-boot folder (AIO-DVD if you've followed the guide).Finally rename the files from .bif to .DAT.From here you can follow the guide for setting up XP and editing the XP boot sector. It is'nt too difficult but as you'll see it's easier to setup knoppix.Go to your Knoppix CD.Copy 'cdrom.ico' and the 'KNOPPIX' folder to the root of your multi-boot folder (where the boot sector you just made is).Rename your 'BOOT' folder for cdshell to a lowercase 'boot'.Copy the contents from the Knoppix CD 'boot' folder to your new 'boot' folder.As you can now see you have basicly made your multi-boot disc fit around Knoppix. All these Linux based installers stick to a strick Joliet standard so you must replicate the disc exactly. So it's easier to do it this way.OK, moving on. Because of this standard we need to change cdimage's parameters abit to acount for them.It wont affect anything else on your disc, just aid the linux installers.Here's an adapted command for cdimage:start cdimage.exe -lAIODVD -t08/23/2001,09:00:00 -b\AIO-DVD\BOOT\loader.bin -j1 -h -oc -o -m \AIO-DVD C:\AIODVD.isoThe one fundamental to this is the -j1 parameter if you keep that your alright.Burn as normal with Nero or whatever you use.Hope that helps I'm off to get a coffee.Good luck.
