Run several OS setups from one DVD
==============================================

I have seen in several posts,requesting about having windowses vista and
windows xp setups together.this is easy job,because most of the process needed
to do is writed in EasyBoot help file.and we need just some considerations
for using windows vista.

Any way I have tested operating systems below:

Windows vista (I tested by vista home lite version 2).
Windows XP sp2 Origional English
Windows XP sp2 Customized

Step_1:
=======

1. Copy All contents of you Vista bootable DVD (or CD for lite version) to
...EasyBoot\disk1 directory.

2. Make directories below in ...EasyBoot\disk1 directory:

...EasyBoot\disk1\SYS
...EasyBoot\disk1\SYS\XPEN
...EasyBoot\disk1\SYS\MYXP

3. Copy all contents of "Windows XP sp2 Origional English" to
...EasyBoot\disk1\SYS\XPEN

4. Copy all contents of "Windows XP sp2 Customized" to
...EasyBoot\disk1\SYS\MYXP

5. Copy files below from One of XP CDs to ...EasyBoot\disk1\ Directory (you will
need to copy other files too if you want to have win 2000 or 2003 setups too):

WIN51
WIN51IP
WIN51IP.SP1
WIN51IP.SP2

Step_2:
=======

1_ Make another directory by the name of "XPEN" inside ...EasyBoot\disk1\
directory and Copy just "I386" Directory of "Windows XP sp2 Origional English" CD
inside it.

2_ Make another directory by the name of "MYXP" inside ...EasyBoot\disk1\
directory and Copy just "I386" Directory of "Windows XP sp2 Customized" CD inside it.

3_ Copy "wxp.bat" from ...\EasyBoot\resource directory to
...EasyBoot\disk1\XPEN directory an run it.after a while you will have
some other files and directories inside ...EasyBoot\disk1\XPEN directory
Now you can delete "i386" directory from ...EasyBoot\disk1\XPEN directory.

4_ Do just as above for ...EasyBoot\disk1\MYXP directory then delete "i386"
directory from ...EasyBoot\disk1\MYXP directory.

5. Make two copies from ...\EasyBoot\disk1\ezboot\w2ksect.bin in this directory then
rename one of the copies to "XPEN.BIN" and other to "MYXP.BIN"

Step_3
========

If we burn our DVD just by files above,it will not be bootable,because files are not placed
in standard format.so We need to edit few files in "BOOT" directory ,to say to system,where
to find boot files for each windows and how to run them.

1_ Open ...\EasyBoot\disk1\ezboot\XPEN.BIN by your favorite hex editor,Search for string
"i386" on it and replace all instances by the word "XPEN".and save it.

2_ Do the same process by file ...\EasyBoot\disk1\XPEN\SETUPLDR.BIN and save that.

3_ Open ...\EasyBoot\disk1\XPEN\TXTSETUP.SIF" by notepad, search for "SetupSourcePath" section,
you will see that it is as:

SetupSourcePath = "\"

change that to:

SetupSourcePath = "\SYS\XPEN"

4_ Do the same processES 1 TO 3 for "Windows XP sp2 Customized" ,just use string "MYXP" in
hex editing and address below:

SetupSourcePath = "\SYS\MYXP"

You should Do the same process if you want to have other windowses,Just note that:

Step_4
========

iN eASYbOOT USE COMMANDS BELOW:

(FOR SETUP OF WINDOWS VISTA)-->run vistaldr.bin
(FOR SETUP OF WINDOWS XP ORIG)-->run XPEN.BIN
(FOR SETUP OF WINDOWS XP CUSTOMIZED)-->run MYXP.BIN

======================
Notes:
=======
1.I used HexEdit for editing BIN files and used XPEN and MYXP (Uppercase) in them.

2.I have named All folders in Disk1 in Uppercase (i mean MYXP,SYS,XPEN folders and also SYS\MYXP and SYS\XPEN)

=============================
THATA ALL,I checked it by vmware was OK.

Thanks a lot from balder that helped me a lot and taught me a lot in this tutor

Tried this method and am getting "CDBOOT: Couldn't Find NTLDR"

Posted by madar on May 29 2009,03:52

1.I have tested this method many many times and the burned dvd's are are
used with a lot of my friends for a long time.

2.When making project Do step by step,and check step by step,in virtual machin.
if you don't there may be some mistakes

3.I think you have some mistakes in editing BIN files and TXTSETUP.SIF

4.Please try again ,do first OS ,check it,then proced to other

5.Do not forget to put files below as said in step 5 of tutor in root of your DVD

WIN51
WIN51IP
WIN51IP.SP1
WIN51IP.SP2

--------
and please inform me about your test

@madar

About WinXP…

It’s not only an issue if “ident files” (tag files) has been copied to the “main root” (EasyBoot\disk1). It’s a issue if “ident files” (tag files) has been copied to the “second root”, witch in your tutorial is EasyBoot\disk1\SYS
In fact, it’s impossible that your tutorial works as there are mistakes involved into it

To @mahdi and @Mega_num
How did you have success with a tutorial that doesn’t work

Why not use original tutorial in EasyBoot help file together with tutorials originally written by xoben :;):

balder

Posted by madar on May 29 2009,14:33

I am very sorry that you talk about some thing that you
did not test it yet.
you just think it is un correct

i have done the same project by other programs like "Aero Studio' and "BCDW" and i have my ISO's in my archive.

please first try that then give answers like this.

it is not important for me what you said to me,but you have
do that by other users too "mahdi and mega.."
all are laying and you are right???

please try the tutor it will not take more than hour for you

thanks

Posted by balder on May 29 2009,14:51

@madar

In Step_2:

I quote from point 2:” Make another directory by the name of "MYXP" inside ...EasyBoot\disk1\
directory and Copy just "I386" Directory of "Windows XP sp2 Customized" CD inside it.”
This is correct :;):

I quote from point 3:” Copy "wxp.bat" from ...\EasyBoot\resource directory to
...EasyBoot\disk1\SYS\XPEN directory an run it.after a while you will have
some other files and directories inside ...EasyBoot\disk1\SYS\XPEN directory
Now you can delete "i386" directory from ...EasyBoot\disk1\SYS\XPEN directory.”
This is not correct

I suggest you change tutorial to… “Copy "wxp.bat" from ...\EasyBoot\resource directory to
...EasyBoot\disk1\XPEN directory….”
In this way you create the necessary boot folder (XPEN in this example) that’s needed. Don’t you agree with me

This is needed as you in step3 (I quote):
“1_ Open ...\EasyBoot\disk1\ezboot\XPEN.BIN by your favorite hex editor,Search for string
"i386" on it and replace all instances by the word "XPEN".and save it.” This is correct.

By the way…Why not use EasyBoot>Tools>Replace text instead of external hex editor as this is far more easier for new users :;):

@madar (Shirin Zaban) I do like (respect) you tutorial but only if they works.
In fact plenty of your ideas are brilliant :cool:

and very useful but as I pointed out… this tutorial cant work as there are some problems to solve. And again I must repeat that you need ident files (tag files) at the “second root” witch is another problem with your tutorial.

balder

Posted by madar on May 29 2009,15:19

Hi balder

1.thank you for your notes

2. at the time after replaying you i did test again my project it worked

3.you are right ,in tutor i have a mistake as below:

"After using wxp.bat the i386 directories below should be deleted

..disk1\xpen\i386
and
..disk1\myxp\i386

not (...disk1\Sys\xpen\i386 and ..disk1\Sys\myxp\i386)

thank you for your help,and i am going to change that
lines, thanks again

Posted by balder on May 29 2009,15:28

@madar

Again I must repeat that you need ident files (tag files) at the “second root” witch is another problem with your tutorial.
Your “second root” is EasyBoot\disk1\sys

You have changed this here: SetupSourcePath = "\SYS\XPEN"
You need to copy ident files (tag files) to folder EasyBoot\disk1\sys
Don’t you agree

balder

Posted by madar on May 29 2009,15:41

Dear balder
i have said in tutor that "Copy all contents of XPCD to ...\sys\xpen and ...\sys\myxp" not just "i386" folder.

hope if i can not understand your mean because of my bad
english,you will please tell me

at the end:nice having a friend like you

Quote: “i have said in tutor that "Copy all contents of XPCD to ...\sys\xpen and ...\sys\myxp" not just "i386" folder.”

Yes I have noticed that, but some people forget (I don’t now why

) to copy ident files as they think this only is needed on the root. It’s only to clarify that people must understand the need of this ident files (“tag-files”) on both roots.

Nice we now understand each other (that’s the best part in life).

edit: Bye the way, I have created a script (runs in winbuilder) that runs this process in an fully automated way without any need of support from user.

Dear balder

1.Thanks a lot for your mentions,and your help

2.one mor point,i have called to mahdi and said the matter
and he said that "he and mega" has tested the topic from
other tutors of me (in other site)

3.Thanks a lot again,just in other time would you please tell me how can i chang my name "madar" to "shirin zaban" in
this site.I say later because in my country (Iran) it is 12:45

Many thanks again and many thanks for fast replays

Sorry, to my knowledge You can’t change user name. You can change password or email etcetera, but not user name as far as I know. What’s the point? You have at the end of each post your real name – works fine to me and most likely to everybody else in this forum

thanks Dear friend

Posted by balder on May 30 2009,07:21

@madar

You still need (or at least point out differences) to your tutorial.
It’s about lower/uppercase when hex edit boot file (w2ksect.bin) and setupldr.bin
If using case sensitive hex editor text strings are not found. On the other hand, if using hex editor that is not case sensitive it do works.
If a user take advantage of built in EasyBoot hex editor (EasyBoot\Tools\replace Text) you must show differences about lower/uppercase (caps or not caps).

Quote: “1_ Open ...\EasyBoot\disk1\ezboot\XPEN.BIN by your favorite hex editor,Search for string "i386" on it and replace all instances by the word "XPEN".and save it.”
Sorry there is no such string in this boot file, it’s uppercase you mean for (w2ksect.bin) like this “I386” and lowercase “i386” in setupldr.bin that’s has to be used when hexedit this two files.
Okay as I pointed out, it works if you are sure to not use hex editor that are case sensitive.

Please read post 2 here to better understand what I mean

@mahdi

You are welcome

But you said in post 3 and I quote: “i have read this tutor and tested it
it works great”.

And I quote from post 9 (madar): ” you are right ,in tutor i have a mistake as below:”
I do have problems when somebody claimed that a tutorial works when it definitely doesn’t work

Please note that I am a big fan of shirins (madar) tutorials. Most of them are brilliant. Credits to shirin (madar) for this great work done by him.
Well this is no big deal, as tutorial was corrected by madar in an accurate way

By the way, read < this > by gosh

Nothing new under the sun I should say :;):

Dear shahgul

1.using "ntdetect.com" and "setupldr.bin" from only win 2003 sp1 is essential.
2.use uper cases in names of folders and files you make or change.
3.be sure you have placed files below in root of your dvd :
WIN51
WIN51IP
WIN51IP.SP1
WIN51IP.SP2
note that you should put the above files in in assosiated folders
that you have made for eack xp version.for example in
my example in tutor in ..\\SYS\XPEN\

hope you will do successfully

Hello,

please see post#2 in < http://www.ezbsystems.com/cgi-bin....l=hiren >

Quoting xoben between lines:

===
>>Adding Windows XP Pro

Here is a step by step instruction for adding Windows XP (English version):
1) Make a folder named 'xpen' under 'c:\easyboot\disk1'
2) Copy 'win51' and 'win51p' (from root directory of original CD) to 'c:\easyboot\disk1'
3) Copy I386 folder to 'c:\easyboot\disk1\xpen'
4) Copy wxp.bat from 'c:\easyboot\resource' to 'c:\easyboot\disk1\xpen', and run it there
5) Copy w2ksect.bin in 'c:\easyboot\disk1\ezboot' to a new file xpen.bin
6) Start EasyBoot, click 'Tools'->'Replace Text', browse file 'c:\easyboot\disk1\ezboot\xpen.bin', and specify 'I386' as "Text to Replace", 'XPEN' as "Replace to", then click 'Replace', 1 occurence should be replaced
7) Do step 6 to 'c:\easyboot\disk1\xpen\setupldr.bin', and replace 'i386' to 'xpen', 4 occurences should be replaced
8) Open 'c:\easyboot\disk1\xpen\txtsetup.sif' by NotePad (or UltraEdit), search for 'SetupSourcePath', and change [SetupSourcePath = "\"] to [SetupSourcePath = "\XPEN"] (not include [])
9) Set the menu item's command as 'run xpen.bin'
10) Save menu file
===

which I tried today - and is working.

2 notes:

Note1:
Since I have WinXP+SP2, step 2 is this:

2) Copy 'win51' and 'win51p' and 'win51ip.SP2' if SP2 is included) (from root directory of original CD) to 'c:\easyboot\disk1'

Note2:
I have used Hex-Ed.zip
(http://www.pendriveapps.com/hex-ed-portable-hex-editor/)

Thank you for your tutorial!

I have one big Problem:
I cannot install both OS from one iso because of formatting issues!

- When i create the DVD WITHOUT UDF i can install ONLY XP, but NOT Vista (or Win7) (CDBOOT: Couldn't find BOOTMGR)

-When i create the DVD WITH UDF i can install Vista (and Win7), not NOT XP (NTLDR not found)

I tried different settings for Joilet and all other settings also (in Ultraiso), but none installs both Windows versions.
What are the correct setting for both??
Is there anything else i'm missing?

Thank you!
Torpedro

Posted by madar on Jul. 19 2009,05:04

Dear shahgul

Please be sure you have done as below:

1_ It is essential using "NTDETECT.COM" and "SETUPLDR.BIN" from just
sp1 version of win 2003 ,not other versions.

2_ "NTDETECT.COM" and "SETUPLDR.BIN" should be UPERCASE

3_ Folders ,you make for using XP should be UPERCASE

4_ Files below should be copied to (Root of DVD) and (Root of all
folders you make for using XP)
WIN51
WIN51IP
WIN51IP.SP1
WIN51IP.SP2

5_ If you use XP sp3 you shoud add "WIN51IP.SP3" to files above.

6_ Please make and test each step seperatly

Hello all,

I created MultiBootDVD with the following apps:

Paragon Drive Backup 8.5
Boot from Hard Disk
Insert 1.3.9b
Hiren's Boot CD v9.8
WinXP_SP2_SATAint_SP3int

booting+runnnig of each is ok

But after I added:

Paragon HD Manager 2008 Suite
Ubuntu 9.04

neither Insert nor Paragon Drive Backup 8.5 can run.
It seems as if Ubuntu somehow spoiled the whole DVD.
Can somebody give me a hint?

Thanks and regards,

bozon42

Posted by madar on Jul. 20 2009,10:08

1. As i know When adding linux based system,the loader looks
for lowercase names in root. please check Ubuntu 9.04 and paragon
folders to be sure they are lowercase

2.There is a very nice and almost complate notes about linux based
systems by "billonious" in link below:

Hello Shirin,

thanks for having look at my mail.

Actually these two sw should not interfere, since

Paragon HD Manager 2008 Suite was running from only one file
paragon.img from ezboot dir
(according to < http://www.ezbsystems.com/cgi-bin....aragon) >

and ubuntu was copied to disk1 and only ubuntu.bif was put to
ezboot dir.

see: < http://www.ezbsystems.com/cgi-bin....=ubuntu >

As for paragon Drive Image I followed:
< http://www.ezbsystems.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=1;t=1825 >

and for Insert I followed the same link you mentioned.
==
Remove Tools dir from InsertCD and rename isolinux dir to inslinux.
Copy content of Insert CD to \disk1
use:
bcdw /inslinux/isolinux.bin /inslinux/vmlinuz initrd=/inslinux/miniroot.lz init=/etc/init nomce noapic dma boot_image=insert

+check Joliet

Hmm, I should maybe repeat the steps once again.

Anyway thanks again.

Hi Madar,
Thank you, i must have overlooked this info.
Unfortunately i don't have access to win2k3 SP1 (Only without SP or with SP2) because we did a complete upgrade of all our server a few weeks ago and the old things where deleted.

I assume it doesn't work with SP2, because i get the message "NTLDR is corrupt." when i try to use the files from SP2. Even with the NTLDR form W2k3 SP2.

Thank you

Posted by madar on Aug. 16 2009,03:09

Dear logajith

i think some process is wrong but i do not know which one. so:

1_This project works,i checked my archive and tested it again (when
writting a tutor i save all the files i use and Last ISO in my archive)

2.Lets try your project just by your XPEN windows,just do as below:

A_ Just copy All contents of your XPEN setup CD to ...\disk1 directory

B_May be your w2ksect.bin is currupted so please get bootinfo of
your xpen from ISO of your xpen CD .(use bartpe image extracyor to have
BIN format) and rename it to XPEN.BIN and put it in ezboot directory.

C_Do not make any change on any file and use command (run XPEN.BIN)

If it works we will go to other step if not ,that means your XP CD's files
are currupted.

Posted by logajith on Aug. 16 2009,05:31

Dear friend,
For using "bartpe image extractor" do as example below:

1.Put XPEN.ISO in root of your windows for example C:\XPEN.ISO
2.Place "bartpe image extractor" files (bbie.exe and bbie.lic) in address below
(I suppose that you have your windows in drive C: and you logon to your
windows by the name of logajith):

C:\Documents and Settings\logajith\xxxx directory

3.go to run,type CMD and in comming window type:

cd xxxx
heat enter then type:
bbie c:\xpen.iso
heat enter,after a while you will have image1.bin in address below:

C:\Documents and Settings\logajith\xxxx\image1.bin

================
Short telling "the bin file is created in where the bbie.exe
is there

Dear logajith

I think your source files are currupted.any way:
---------------------------------------------------------------

1.Get latest version of aero studio from link below:

@ logajith

Sorry to interrupt here, but if you try to change text in w2ksect.bin using i386 you are bound to fail

Quote: ” opened in easyboot,tools, replace text option and find the file EasyBoot\disk1\ezboot\XPEN.BIN and i386 replaced to XPEN(0 string affected)”

”opened in easyboot,tools, replace text option and find the file EasyBoot\disk1\ezboot\MYXP.BIN and i386 replaced to MYXP(0 string affected)”

In replace text option you must find and replace I386 (not i386). Test and se if it works

@Torpedro

Regarding the "NTLDR is corrupt. The system cannot boot." errors

1. open setupldr.bin with hex editor
2. goto hex address: 0x2060
3. change "74 03" to "EB 1A"
4. save it

Thank you Sentense!
But i already found the most easy solution:
All files in the boot folder of Win7 have to be UPPER CASE, then the DVD will work without UDF for both XP and Win7 in parallel.

Another point is: now that Win7 is available and performing better than XP, WinXP will not be needed any more, but Win7 x86 and x64 with integrated Language pack (and hirens, Acronis,...).

Hi Maverick_3722

1.For DVD project ,you can not have both vista and windows 7 together
you can have just one of them plus XP and other tools.for this work
read this topic from post#1

2.You can have xp,vista,win 7 and your other tools in USB flash disk
for this job use "balder's" scripts and tutors in link below:
