I moved back to my original country, so I'm not staying In SA anymore(I've made the necessary adjustments to my info)... anyways I'm back online now and yeah 'll try this other code u gave me, but I don't think I used the "/v enum" before(so that must be why the prob arised)will give u feedbackP.S: what OS do U recommend I use(XP or Vista) to change the BCD, I've been using vista though....Peace Edited December 27, 2007 by oidicle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arfett Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 (edited) Hey, devil, you wouldn't happen to know why I would be getting an NTDETECT failed message when I start my XP x64 install off of my USB flash drive, but not in VMware off of a .iso file would you? The files are exactly the same, just copied to the flash drive. Vista x64 is still loading fine off the USB drive so I'm not sure what is going on.I used the bcd commands in this order:bcdedit /store H:\boot\bcd /create {ntldr} /d "Windows XP x64 Install"bcdedit /store H:\boot\bcd /set {ntldr} device bootbcdedit /store H:\boot\bcd /set {ntldr} path \I386\SETUPLDR.BINbcdedit /store H:\boot\bcd /displayorder {ntldr} /addfirstbcdedit /store H:\boot\bcd /set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu yesbcdedit /store H:\boot\bcd /set {default} description "Windows Vista x64 Install"bcdedit /store H:\boot\bcd /default {ntldr} Edited January 22, 2008 by arfett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innocent Devil Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 SETUPLDR is supposed to load from a CD/DVD not from removable (HD) medium as in the case of memory stickwhen trying to load SETUPLDR from Stick, it finds that is being loaded from a HD and not optical medium tires to load OS (XP) not the setup thats why it fails.There is a thread telling how to load an 5.x windows from usbHere it is http://www.msfn.org/board/boot-install-USB...html&st=480 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 bcdedit /store H:\boot\bcd /set {ntldr} path \I386\SETUPLDR.BIN(bolding is mine)I don't think that a \I386\ SETUPLDR will load x64 files? The NEW link to the Install XP from USB is this one:http://www.msfn.org/board/install-XP-USB-t111406.htmlbut it is \I386 related, not x64.jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innocent Devil Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 jaclaz:but the SETUPLDR.BIN is in I386 dir of X64 cd not in AMD64 dirso its not due to I386its due to the loader recognizes what the source it is booting (CD or HD or removable hd or stick).

arfett Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 About 3 months ago I installed XP x64 off my flash drive using your method of multibooting the vista and xp installs and it worked just fine. I wonder what it is I did to get it work. It was heavily nlited as is my new XP x64 source so I don't know if I've changed anything my removals that could have gotten around this check.

Innocent Devil Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 then try gold xp x64 , so we can confirm whether it is caused by nlite or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
