well. What i have managed to do is: made a bootable CD Grug4dos and put an entry under menu.lst which reads:
title Âł Setup Windows XP Pro SP3 (1st Text Mode) Âł\nSetup Windows XP Pro SP3 (1st Text Mode) by Abbas find --set-root /I386/XPSP3sata.gz chainloader /I386/setupldr.BIN
title Âł Setup windows XP Pro SP3 (2nd Gui Mode) Âł\nSetup Windows XP Pro SP3 (2nd GUI Mode) by Abbas find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /ntldr map () (hd0) map (hd0) () map --rehook find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /ntldr chainloader /ntldr savedefault --wait=2
The I386 folder, &OEM$, NTLDR TXTsetup and win51 these are in the root dir of CD.
and XP setups goes normally. Happy with this bcoz in this way I have Hiren, ERDs and XP Setup on same CD.
Now am trying to put even W2k3 on the Same CD.
I have made a folder W2k3sp and put NTLDR of 2k3 and Win51 files and $OEM$ into this folder and put I386 of w2k3 in this folder and put an entry under menu.lst which reads:
title Âł Setup Windows Server 2003 SP2 (1st Text Mode) Âł\nSetup Windows Server 2k3 SP2 (1st Text Mode) find --set-root /W2k3sp2/W2k3/boot2k3.gz chainloader /W2k3sp2/W2k3/SETUPLDR.BIN
title Âł Setup windows Server 2003 SP2 (2nd Gui Mode) Âł\nSetup Server 2k3 SP2(2nd GUI Mode) find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /ntldr map () (hd0) map (hd0) () map --rehook find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /ntldr chainloader /ntldr savedefault --wait=2
Now when I try booting 2k3 it gets boot and gives error Currupt NTLDR cannot boot
What path I need to set ot what changes i need. Please HELP.

Hmmm….. I don’t get the point This multiboot-CD/DVD is much easier created in EasyBoot – that’s the point with EasyBoot It’s very easy to hex edit folder i386 that belongs to WinXP. It’s a little bit more complicated to hex edit W2k3sp2. Use folder i386 that belongs to W2k3sp2 as it is on the root of CD/DVD (EasyBoot\disk1) and use standard menu command in EasyBoot: run W2ksect.bin
The root of CD/DVD is hereby occupied by one folder i386 – so next folder named i386 must be changed and therefore hex edit. The easy way is to use my script EasyBoot-AIO.script. Note: Script only works in WinXP_sp2 or WinXP_sp3 – not working in Vista/Win7. You can also choose to manually hex edit folder i386 (XP Pro SP3) and its files. Read in EasyBoot help file or tutorials like this ones HERE or HERE
Basically you do not need to involve grub in this matters – grub is the solution to be used only for “special tricks” as Easyboot already offers you a reliable and “easy to go-solution”.
