Creating a MultiBoot CD with MagicISO

[Doctor Trout]

Hey guys,

I'm trying to make a multiboot CD of my slipstreamed, streamlined Windows 2000 and Windows XP. So, I have my 2 ISOs.

I thought I'd try using MagicISO, and I found rather a nice guide on how to do it here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=62447

But, anyway, I was thinking, since both my images have the same contents (an I386 folder), when I copy them to my CD I have to put them in folders Windows 2000 and Windows XP - will copying the boot sectors from those original discs still work then? And, if they won't, what do I have to do to make them work?

Thanks a lot guys. And, if there's an easier way to combine these two images to make a multi boot disc, please, feel free to point me in the directions of a guide on how to do that.

the boot sectors will need to be changed to reflect the proper install folder where the OS install is. This is standard for a multiboot distro.

For help try :

or

UltraISO's help file has a mulitboot creation guide

a little overkill for what you want to do....

One thing I would do extra if I was making this....

Replace Windows 2000 files:

-ntldr

-ntdetect.com

with the XP versions

This way if you ever installed windows 2000 after XP you wouldn't have to replace these twp files afterwards with the XP version to be able to access XP at the boot menu. (I actually replaced those two files in every windows installation CD I make with the win 2003 versions so all flavors of windows will be seen if I ever wanted to setup a multi OS system.)
