Read post nr; 23, 24 and 25 < HERE > :;):
 
Note: if you have run “nLite” to your WinXP source, you most likely must use “ghosh way” – read < HERE > ???

balder, thank you very much.

Everything you've said, I've read and I can say now that really do not understand anything.
Specifically, I wanted to put on a DVD winxp in Italian, Polish, German, French, Dutch and Turkish. Everyone with Service Pack 3
Downloads your script but I do not see that there has to be added to another disk, I tried option AIO.
So, I would like to process the Easyboot with, if possible.

Thanks in advance

Then you need all 6 different WinXP-sp3 sources (folder i368 etcetera on a separate CD,s or in separate folders on one of you harddisk units).

If you do have this, do as follow (Italian example):
1. Set a name in name box in script “Set new name to folder i386”. Use BIG LETTERS (CAPS). Use a name like; IXP3 (I for Italian and XP for WinXP and finally 3 for showing it is service-pack-3 involved). Note: you can set any name you like in textbox as long you use a 4-letters name (use BIG LETTERS). You can use “RADL” as name just for fun.
2. Set path to source for your Italian WinXP-sp3 (where you have Italian setup-folder i386 with files or point to your Italian CD).
3. Check that path to your installed EasyBoot is correct. If not, change path to the right one!
4. You can use internal winnt.sif-file (unattended file) or your own winnt-sif file. Put in your “CD-key” if using internal winnt.sif file. Note: you can as option check "Disconnect unattended installation" to avoid unattended setup (manually answer questions during setup procedure).
5. Press start-button. Script now automatically extract the right BOOT-files and creating separate setup-folders etcetera. Script continues with automatically run necessary hex-edit to several files.
6. In the end you are presented with the right menu command to use in EasyBoot menu.

Note: there are also a “Manually section” for those that are more skilled and are amused to do the “work” by them selves :;):
You don’t use this section if you are using the “automatic way”.

To integrate Polish version you then change path to source (point to Polish folder i386 or change CD to Polish) and change name in text box to example; PXP3 (Polish XP_service-pack3). Set Polish CD-key in unattended (or point to your own unattended file) press once more to the “Start-button” and there you go.

I can’t follow what you mean with this ???

----------------------------------------
Of course you have to create you own menu style in EasyBoot :O  
Script doesn’t create you EasyBoot menu – that is a choice you do.

You are recommended to in advance create your Easyboot-style with all 6 menu’s, and during use of the AIO-script insert menu command given by script :O
When you are finished with all 6 WinXP-sources (integrated into Easyboot) you create your ISO in EasyBoot as usual :cool:

@radle

Well @radle, if you have spend less than a minute and read ”READ_ME.html” in download and also push ”Help-button” in AIO.script this wouldn’t happen to you :(

I quote from ”READ_ME.html”:
About spaces in files and folder names.
Don’t use folders like “Program files".
Folder "Documents and settings" has spaces in name - not good.
Generally - do not use desktop (Note: your desktop is a sub-folder to "Documents and settings". Not good).
Please use the root [C:\] and not your desktop as working area!
Best results is to have EasyBoot installed on the root [C:\] The same to folder "Winbuilder_complete"
Put ISO-files that you later want to integrate into EasyBoot, in a folder on the root -
or at least somewhere in some folder that DO NOT have spaces in name.
Make sure to avoid spaces in names to ISO-file(s)End of quote.
--------------------------------------------
And what happens – you instantly use your desktop as working area :angry:
DON’T USE YOUR DESKTOP AND DON’T HAVE SPACES IN NAMES TO FOLDER AND FILE NAMES.
HAVE EASYBOOT INSTALLED TO THE ROOT (C:)
PLEASE READ ”READ_ME.html” IN DOWNLOAD :O
----------------------------
Some advices:
1. Never install anything (programs etcetera to your desktop.
2. Desktop should ONLY be used to hold shortcuts to programs and nothing else - this is a basic well known fact sense many years back :O  
3. Why are you using your desktop as “root” ???  
4. The “root” is C:\ and nothing else

balder, you were right.
Now I put everything in the root, without spaces, and now everything is OK.
I managed. Of course, thanks to you and your help.
Thank you.
