bish542002 Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I followed flyakites guide and got my Multiboot/Unatteded DVD workng with WIN98SE, WIN2K, 2K3Server, XP Home, Tablet, MCE and XP PRO. Great guide flyakites, everything works just great. The only problem I got is trying to add WINME. I've serched and can't seem to get it to work at all. My setup is as below and I am using CDShell 2106.AIO-DVD\WIN98AIO-DVD\WINMEAIO-DVD\SETUP\XP\PRO (HOME, TBLT, WMCE, W2K and W2K3)AIO-DVD\Setup98.IMAAIO-DVD\ME.IMAI am VMWare ad it starts to load the Image but then all I get this message: Please wait while setup initializes.Scanning system registry....Cannot create a temporary directory.If you have HPFS or NTFS installed on your hard drive,you will need to create an MS-DOS boot partition to set up Windows.A:\Any assistance is very appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 It seems to me quite strange, I mean if it does work with WIN98, and you followed the same procedure for WINME it should work with the latter also, there are no real differences between the setup routine of the two, you could try using a different VM, like QEMU/QEMUMANAGER:http://www.davereyn.co.uk/or VirtualBox:http://www.virtualbox.org/It could be "something" between VMware and WINME....jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bish542002 Posted March 31, 2007 Author Share Posted March 31, 2007 jaclaz, I tried both and still no luck. I'm getting the exact message. I can't find what the problem is. Anyone have an idea what could be causing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kubos Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 you should try to use your win98's image, but of course with diffrent path to "setup.exe" file in "autoexec.bat". just copy Setup98.IMA and open it with winimage. extract autoexec and change path. then save the image as ME.IMA.// sorry for my english Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bish542002 Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 Kubos, I've been gone for awhile but I just tried editing the autoexec.bat file and I got the same error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 It seems like those errors appear when something is "not right" with the hard disk:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/271240/en-usSetup Cannot Write to the Temporary Directory---------------------------------------------This message may appear because there is insufficient disk space for the temporary directory. If space is available on another drive, use the following command line to change the temporary directory location: Setup /T:<drive letter>:\TEMPIf you do not have space available on another drive, free some disk space, and then run Setup again. See the "Not Enough Disk Space" Messages section for files that can be deleted.More specifically, this seems exactly that error you report:http://www.computing.net/windows95/wwwboar...rum/164732.htmlHave a look at this also:http://www.smartcomputing.com/editorial/ar...05l06/05l06.aspMaybe you can use some switch of Setup to avoid the problem.jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
