I meant it was nlited when it did work...

It's still nlited, but I don't recall which version I used when it worked as this was several months ago and I'm sure I've changed several removals since then.

I figured out how to get multiple Win PE 2.0 WIMs in the menu with help from the posting here:

This is what I ended up with:

Now everything works nicely. :thumbup

Thansk for the script :)

for me it reports errors on the

 [b]for /f "tokens=1-3" %%a in ('%bcdedit% /store %BCD-File% /create /d "%D%" /application osloader') do set guidd=%%c[/b]

Lines, i've modded them to : 

for /f "[i][b]tokens=2[/b][/i]" %%a in ('%bcdedit% /store %BCD-File% /create /d "%D%" /application osloader') do set guidd=[b]%%[i]a[/i][/b]

I'm using a french bcdedit version :)

help me

Before I worked perfectly!

I would be getting an NTDETECT failed message when I start my XP PRO install off of my hard disk, but not in VMware off of a .iso file would you? I used the bcd commands in this order:

bcdedit /store H:\boot\bcd /create {ntldr} /d "Windows XP Professional"

bcdedit /store H:\boot\bcd /set {ntldr} device boot

bcdedit /store H:\boot\bcd /set {ntldr} path \I386\SETUPLDR.BIN

bcdedit /store H:\boot\bcd /displayorder {ntldr} /addfirst

bcdedit /store H:\boot\bcd /set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu yes

bcdedit /store H:\boot\bcd /set {default} description "Windows Vista"

bcdedit /store H:\boot\bcd /default {ntldr}

thank you

I have solved the problem, my mistake. Not necessary change things by UltraISO otherwise you lose the parameters of boot BCEdit.

Thank you ;)

When I do this, every menu item that shows in the Windows Boot Manager is named "Ramdisk options". Thoughts?

Problem solved. Found in another thread here - the BOOTMGR.EXE from the latest WAIK is the culprit. Using the BOOTMGR.EXE from the older WAIK displays the menu items correctly.

The working BOOTMGR I have is version 6.0.6000.16386.

The non-working BOOTMGR is version 6.0.6001.18000.
