eddie11013 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I seem to have a problem. I used nlite 1.3 RC 2 and everything seemed to go very well. I was trying to create a bootable cd using the following: Windows XP Pro CD, SP2 CD, and 'all' hot fixes to date, as per using Belarc Advisor to get a list and then saved all the ".exe's" to one file. I "only" tried to integrate 'these', and did not try to integrate or "add or remove" anything else. At the end, nLite stated an ISO image was created. I then used ISOBuster, inserted my Windows XP Pro CD, clicked on bootable disc, right clicked on "Dell.img" to extract, downloaded and saved same. Then I used my Easy CD Creator 5, clicked on File/New Project/Bootable CD. Set the following settings: Bootable CD type/No Emulation; Load Segment/0x7c0; Sector Count/4; clicked Browse/located Dell.img/clicked open & OK. When the dialog closed I had BOOTCAT.BIN & BOOTIMG.BIN in the root of the CD project. I then selected File/CD Project Properties, this launched the CD Project Properties dialog. On the general tab, on Volume Label: XPSP1_PRO_ENG (as per original label name); file system ISO9660; and selected Mode 1 CDROM. Clicked OK. Added C:\WinLite.iso to CD project. And started recording process. When done, tried to use same and received, on bootup: CDBOOT: Couldn't find NTLDR -- I did load my Windows XP Pro CD, by itself, and it wanted to do its thing, that is, load up. I did burn two other CD's so I know that Easy CD is working correctly.Thanks in advance for any assistance.Eddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zedox Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Can you check that the CD burned correctly? Check the contents...Generally this comes up if it can't actually boot from the disc and there isn't anything else to boot from, IE Hard Drive.

eddie11013 Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 Thanks for your assistance. I checked the burned CD, it contained the following: Bootcat.bin Bin Image, 2kb (shows a picture of a CD with a check mark on the bottom right hand corner of the CD picture; Bootimg.bin Bin Image, 8kb (shows a picture of a CD with a check mark on the bottom right hand corner of the CD picture); and, Winlite.ISO Image File, 633,856kb (shows like an 8 .5x11 sheet with a picture of a CD on it). The "label" of this cd is: XPSP1_PRO_ENG, which is what I would think it should be. Am I maybe missing a step in the burning process, that as to say, is there something else that needs to be burned besides the: Dell.img = Bootcat.bin & Bootimg.bin, & adding Winlite.ISO, although there isn't much more room. I thought about adding all the contents of my Windows XP Pro, but that is over 500MB. I could burn a DVD, if necessary. By the way, I'm using CD-RW's.Thanks again for your help,Eddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zedox Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 you havn't burnt your disc correctly..Try using some software that lets you burn images to discs...You cant just put the image as a file onto the disc.I use Nero to burn my CD image to a disc...

jaclaz Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 The missing point is that an .iso file, like the one nlite creates, is a FULL IMAGE of a CD.(i.e. it ALREADY contains bootsector, etc.)You don't need to fiddle with Set the following settings: Bootable CD type/No Emulation; Load Segment/0x7c0; Sector Count/4; clicked Browse/located Dell.img/clicked open & OK. When the dialog closed I had BOOTCAT.BIN & BOOTIMG.BIN in the root of the CD project.you just burn the .iso.If you want a simple, no nonsense app to do so, check one of those referenced here:http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?sho...c=18845&hl=IMGBURN, ISOBURNING or BURNCDCC are all good.jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Same happened to me, i think it was a conflict between the boot order and the multiple hds...I just unplugged the extra HD i had, and it all went fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie11013 Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 Thanks for the help. I used a program called DeepBurner to burn the iso. It was very easy to use this program vs what I was trying to do before. I reformatted using this 'new' nlite iso created cd. The computer seems to be working fine. I only have a couple of follow up questions. Even though I used microsoft virtual pc and it said everything was fine, when I installed it, some files did not copy. There were '8' "xptht..d.jpg" "type" files that did not copy. I assume no big deal, since they are only "jpg" files. There was a "xpsp3res.dll" that it said did not copy, but when I 'searched' my computer after I finished everything there were actually "three" of these files on my computer, so again, I guess its not an issue. And, there were two others that did not copy, xptht25w.htm & xptht33w.htm. I have no idea what these are. Don't know if I should worry about these two or not. So then the real questions: Is it really worth while to try using the "virtual pc", since it didn't find a problem. AND, is this 'normal' for some files not to copy over, or do I need a different "burner" program. I realize some other burners were suggested, but "DeepBurner" was highly regarded on the Cnet download web site, and it was "very" easy to use. Thanks in advance,Eddie PS: I did try the sfc /scannow thing but it didn't help any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
