Hi All,

I'm having a few problems with my EasyBoot disc.

I've done the following...

Copied the i386 folder from a XP Pro SP3 OEM disc
Copied and ran the wxp.bat (which copies the necessary files)
Ran the EasyBoot Replace Tool on
- boot.bin to replace I368 with WP3O
- SETUPLDR.BIN to replace i386 with WP30
Edited TXTSETUP.SIF in notepad to change path to \WP30

It boots fine, i select the version but then gets so far into the Setup then asks for the SP3 CD to install ASMS.


Any Ideas!?!

Ah ha!  I've solved the mystery!

If you read the guide to EasyBoot it says...

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'

Where really it should say copy win51, win51p etc into both disk1 and xpen :)
