Boot Folders

[walker3555]

Hi Guys

Another newbie question for you. I'm using the instructions on http://flyakite.msfnhosting.com/ to make a multi boot DVD.

I've transfered my XP Pro files to the "AIO-DVD\SETUP\XP\Professional" folder and I'm trying to create the Boot Folders. I run the "D:\AIO-DVD\SETUP\XP\Professional\i386\winnt32.exe /noreboot" line as instructed and got the following error message.

"Setup cannot continue because the version of Windows on your computer is newer than the version on the CD. "

How do I get around this? or is there another way to create the Boot Folders?

P.S... My OS is XP Home SP2

Thanks in Advance

Mark

DUH! Read the tutorial! O_o

I don't even need to tell you to read it in order to know that much. When you have a WinNT distribution and you run the setup/install tools of an older distribution, you're going to get a warning that you can't do an in-place upgrade or clean installation. The purpose of this is to prevent operating system conflicts. You need to use an older operating system if you want to use this method. Since the technician computer shouldn't be having those kinds of problems, I suggest a virtual machine. VMware workstation is how I get around this. I could list the boot folders for you, but I would rather you use a fool-proof method.

My OS is XP Home SP2

Yet another strike against XP Home. A few hours ago I installed Windows 2000 Adv. Server inside of a virtual machine to get the boot folders that I needed. =/ I did the same thing yesterday with NT 4 Server. You know that part of the site that says you should have a lot of patience when making this? I think it's time to reinforce that statement. I've been preparing my builds since September and I'm suddenly having problems with Windows 2000(again). I need to do some slipstreaming and get the hell away from everything older than XP.
