mhtaylor Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 My first effort at creating an unattended install disc did not boot. I got a "-Code 4" error message.I could not fit all the files onto a CD so used a DVD. Would that cause a problem?Thankyou! Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackmodder Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 (edited) If you've burned with nero ... you're needing some files called boot.ima , or else, that cd/dvd could'nt boot with the default nero files {i'm reffering to boot.ima that are included in nero}.Later Edit: I can't upload boot.ima it says that "Initializing atachament's" for 4 min.

mhtaylor Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 The reason why my disc failed to boot was a problem with the hotfixes I added as shown in this thread http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...mp;#entry645690Thanks everyone Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansouza Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I had the same boot problem "Cannot boot from CD - Code 4" and it turned out to be Nero. My original version is 7.0.0.0 which always worked fine. I downloaded the new version 7.8.5.0 and got the error. I went back to the original version and it worked fine. I didn't change a single setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't change a single setting.Hello Dansouza!Same error message but different cause. IMHO,I believe the Code 4 error is an umbrella-type message that covers all-and-varied reasons for not booting.In my case although I normally have NERO 7.2.0.3b installed - more recently 7.8.5.0 - on this occasion, since it is an UA with only XP SP2 and the hotfixes and no major applications, NERO can not be a factor as it's not installed.BTW, I believe 7.8.5.0 is VISTA-ready.Cheers Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelaniz Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 No, we used DVDs until we switched to flash drives.I'm missing something. When did we switch to flash drives, and for what benefit? I mean, the last time I checked, A DVD was still cheaper and faster than a 4GB flash drive. (and handier if you only have a 1GB flash drive, too ) Kel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelaniz Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 (edited) 8GB is a good. I've seen a few 16GB, too. But I still don't get what the flash drive for UA attraction/benefit is. I could see it if you test builds without a VM, or if you install OSes daily on multiple boxes. But for the other 99%, I don't see the point of dedicating a $100, 4GB drive to a rarely used UA build, instead of a 45 cent DVD with faster read times. Someone mind enlightening me?
