AhAAA Buddy!  Never ever burn another DVD without knowing if it will work!  Microsoft has made their Virtual PC free on their website.  It is THE best thing.  Just search for it.

It is here  Yes U can make bootable CD/DVD with XP and Vista together with other options .ok

1: keep your XP, Vista and other Bootable ISO files ready . Remember bootable ISO  ok   not data ISO

2: open XP ISO  with ultraiso and "save boot file" under bootable option of main menu , and save the file to /easyboot/disk1/easyboot   . save as XP.bif

3: extract all files to /easyboot/disk1

4: open vista iso with ultraiso and rename the setup.exe as setup1.exe and save the iso image

5: open vista bootable iso with ultraiso ( remember u should see the setup1.exe ) and save boot file to /easyboot/disk1/easyboot  Vista.bif

6. extract all the files to disk1

Balance as normal procedure.

Enjoy man  :D . but it was 2 months pain for me  :( .

joe941988   what do u mean  "El Che.... Pttt!" ?
Posted by joe941988 on May 01 2007,12:30
I mean that I hate him.  Not because of what he is known for, but because I always see people wearing a shirt with his face on it. And the person has no idea who they are representing with the shirt.
It's always some ignorant punk rock kid too, that really pisses me off.
So Che N Chu, if you know who the guy is and what he was about, then my bad.

Anyway, what are Hanu Tools?

Hi, cheers for the info.

i now have a working XP/Vista boot dvd :D

It was a long process of creating menu's and customising but well worth it in the end.

Use CDMenuPro V6 to create a new autorun menu so u can choose XP Or Vista while in windows.

"chenchu"  thanks for your guide, BUT...how in hell do i do when i want vista and server 2008...if i save the server 2008 files in "disk1" and saves vista files..many (all?) files have the same filenames and are overwritten...in both cases when i try to start..vista starts..not server 2008

please tell me how to put those on the same disc

Hi,
I have the same kind of question.
The idea is to make a muliboot CD including 2 WinPE2 based images (Ghost12 rescue CD and Active Disk Boot CD).
Following the many advices here on the forum, I was able to have one or the other work, not both, for the reason stated just before!
Has anybody any idea how it can be done?
Thanks
Posted by billonious on Mar. 30 2008,14:39
hey Daniel. In the case that both Ghost & @active boot cd are Vista Pe systems, you can't drop them together in the same disk. I have not succeed yet.

Ok, I get everything, but how do we make a boot.iso for vista are anything? I know how to make the data iso, just not the boot iso one? lol

hi everyone, i've managed to make a bootdvd with vista/erd/98/xppro/xphome/hirens/win2k but the most important thing is to use uppercase folders and files esp with vista....
Posted by punani on May 14 2009,13:31
copy sources,efi,boot and bootmgr to \disk1
then rename all of those files and folders with uppercase names and extensions
use the easyboot default settings
enjoy
