midz Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Thanks jet, didn't mean to be rude or out of line and hide behind the beginner status, I did read the first 6 pages of the thred, actually i read the first page at least twice and I also built the dvd and tested it in vmware(before I posted the first question), it worked fine except some problems with zen, anyway I also tried inserting BartPE by myself (based on your tip ) but I couldn't get it to run, BartPE entry apeared in the menu but when I selected it nothing happened. That being said I guess I'll try again and post a description of the process, maybe youcan help troubleshoot.Again sorry for being out of line.

midz Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Back again, my bad for overlooking the link you provided for creating a multiboot dvdusing diffrent xps, but I do belive you integrated BartPE into your dvd before that probablyusing a diffrent method, so here's what i've tried:Judging by the KERNEL statement in your first post regarding BartPE/XP I assumed you were not using the standard directory structure described at the begining of this thread so I placedI386 and Programs folders from Bart in the root folder of the Super-Disc, I also placed SETUPLDR.BINin the root folder resulting in the following directory structure:C:\Super-Disc\ boot\ isolinux\ dsl\ sysresccd\ sysresccd\ dsl\ I386\ Programs\ SETUPLDR.BIN*I didn't edit anything in SETUPLDR.BIN since I386\ was present in the root directory with the default nameand added this to ISOLINUX.CFGLABEL bartpeMENU LABEL ^BartPE/WinPEMENU DEFAULTKERNEL /SETUPLDR.BINthe iso image boots fine in VMW but when I select BartPE it goes to a black screen and a blinking cursor and it stays thereI don't know if this is a completley wrong method because there's something I don't undrestand, if so can you give me a guideline? if the method is ok can you help trubleshoot any steps I'm doing wrong?Thanks, midz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my travels to this point, I've never been able to boot XP or BartPE using SETUPLDR.BIN. Tried SETUPLDR.BIN before I saw the lite w/ ISOLINUX+VESAMENU, but no joy whatsoever. When I gen a BartPE image, the builder always leaves BOOTSECT.BIN along side PROGRAMS/, I386/, and the rest. That's the file I demo'd in the fragment you quoted last time.SETUPLDR gets patched by Andre Gascal's <sp ?> multiboot XP thinga-ma-jig. That works like a champ.HTH....Jet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midz Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Thanks jet, you were right, using bootsect.bin did get it to boot BUTnow when it gets past "Setup is inspecting your computer's..." i get:"Please insert the disk labeled Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 CD into drive A: Press Enter..."this is exactly the same screen I got when trying to use BartPE with BCDW 2.01aAny thoughts on why this happens, could my SP2 not be slipstreamed "properly"?*BartPE iso works fine on it's own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midz Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Nevermind my last post I'll answer my own question, cd identification filesWIN51IP and WIN51IP.SP2 need to be in the root of the Super-Disc next toBOOTSECT.BIN, now it runs fine. Onto adding Slax... anything I should payspecial attention to when doing this?Thanks jet again for sharing your experience, much appeciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to have you stop by. How goes w/ GRUB 2 ? When time permits, I'd like to give that a try, to see what the GRUB team has come up with. Looking forward to those links you just posted, but in the meantime, I'm going to resume my very 1st Linux development project. Be well.

I use 'from=/slax6', but other than that it's cake....Jet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetman Posted September 6, 2007 Author Share Posted September 6, 2007 It's now official. I'm happy to report Extreme Tech has seen fit to publish an article of mine called Slax-The Do-It-Yourselfer's Linux. It isn't a perfect fit for Super-Disc, that is, the ET article is about a stand-alone, customized Slax. However, it illustrates how to customize Slax-6 and once customized, that Slax system can easily be incorporated into a Super-Disc project.Anyway, that's it for now. Let me know what you think, altho I suspect I may be a little busy in the next week or so....Jet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the documentation for CDIMAGE more closely.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kof94 Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 (edited) Or just grab CDImage GUI from here, it comes preset to the most commonly used settings .Also (as Jet stated way back) don't use isolinux.bin from the syslinux 3.52 package if you intend to add Windows XP (or any NT family OS) to your disc. You'll just get an annoying error message when loading the boot sector! Use the one from 3.51 instead. Edited October 14, 2007 by kof94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
