i sew few topics about is, and the 3 step guide, nothing works for mei busted 2 dvd's allready, i hav a limit for today (no speare left, )
i need help, i copied XP (PRO SP2 32) and Vista (32) to
"C:\EasyBoot\disk1"
1st time tried:
i saved the boot files ( images ) of vista and xp using ultraiso
(bootable>save boot file)
and put the files in "C:\EasyBoot\disk1\ezboot" and edited the commands of each in easyboot so:
command for vista "run VISTA_EN_DVD.bif"
command for xp "run XPPRO.bif"
made iso (joliet, allow low case, unselected the 2 boot hide)
restared, booted from dvd and pressed vista, and it says it cant find bootmgr (i think it's the file in the dvd of vista, but it has been copyed too to the "C:\EasyBoot\disk1" like all the rest of the files....
pressed xp and same.... ( by the way, the setup.exe and autorun.ini of vista is in "C:\EasyBoot\disk1" too ( overwriten on the xp's 1's.. )
the 2nd test:
same just used the easyboot default commands:
command for Vista "run vistaldr.bin"
command for XP "run w2ksect.bin"
and now the xp setup is working from the easyboot
and vista does not, and same error cant find bootmgr
( by the way2, i used boot image "C:\EasyBoot\disk1\ezboot\loader.bin"
and in other topic some1 told to use "C:\EasyBoot\disk1\ezboot\msldr.bin"
as boot image for the iso )
( and one more, a sew a reply on a topic that said that the user deleted the setup.exe,autorun.ini and few more files in the main vista dvd, not the folders but just few files, wil that help me? )
how can i test the iso without burning it?
and what do i do not to test, but to be sure of the solution ?
please help !

To Asaf400Download and install Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 (with Service Pack 1) from here: < http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/virtualpc/default.mspx >
With Virtual Pc you don’t need to spoil any DVD’s
Note1: You need version 6.0.156.0 or later.
Note2: Set memory to at least 512 Mb when running Virtual Pc (as example; you can not setup Vista to a machine with only 256 Mb RAM).
