Have been working to make a Bootable DVD with 2 Windows XP pro Unattended versions, one with all sort of drivers and updates, and one without all that stuff (clean).This works fine.(no problems)
Now I want too add Windows Mediacenter 2005 to this DVD, but I cant get it to boot.
Has anyone here made such a combination, and could that someone tell me wat I'm doing wrong.
I used the guide from eureka:
Structure should look something like this:
Example showing WinXP-pro.
EasyBoot\disk1\ezboot
EasyBoot\disk1\win51 (and more ident-files)
EasyBoot\disk1\ XP01 \ a bunch of boot-files including win51(and more ident-files)
EasyBoot\disk1\ XP02 \ a bunch of boot-files including win51(and more ident-files)
EasyBoot\disk1\ XPMC \ a bunch of boot-files including win51(and more ident-files)
EasyBoot\disk1\ XP01 \system32
EasyBoot\disk1\ XP02 \system32
EasyBoot\disk1\ XPMC \system32
EasyBoot\disk1\ XP01 \i386 (ident files not necessary in here)
EasyBoot\disk1\ XP02 \i386 (ident files not necessary in here)
EasyBoot\disk1\ XPMC \i386 (ident files not necessary in here)
To achieve above mentioned structure, do it this way:
1) Make a folder named IWXP under 'c:\easyboot\disk1'
2) Copy necessary ident files (win51 and more files) from XP directory, to 'c:\easyboot\disk1' and to inside of folder IWXP as well.
3) Copy I386 folder to 'c:\easyboot\disk1\ IWXP '
4) Copy wxp.bat from 'c:\easyboot\resource' to 'c:\easyboot\disk1\ IWXP ', and run it there (this creates a bunch of boot-files including a copy of folder “system32”).
5) Make a copy of w2ksect.bin in 'c:\easyboot\disk1\ezboot' and name it winxp.bin
6) Start EasyBoot, click 'Tools'->'Replace Text', browse file 'c:\easyboot\disk1\ezboot\ winxp.bin', and specify I386 as "Text to Replace", and IWXP as "Replace to", then click 'Replace', 1 occurrence should be replaced. Note: use uppercase (big letters) to IWXP
7) Do step 6 to 'c:\easyboot\disk1\ IWXP \setupldr.bin', and replace i386 to IWXP 4 occurrences should be replaced Note: use uppercase (big letters) to IWXP
8) Open 'c:\easyboot\disk1\ IWXP \txtsetup.sif' by NotePad (or UltraEdit), search for 'SetupSourcePath', and change SetupSourcePath = "\" to SetupSourcePath = \IWXP\
Attention: don’t forget win51-files according to “prim.ROOT and sec.Root” (take attention to folder structure explained above here). Explanation here: < http://forum.ezbsystems.net/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=1;t=1188 >
As option put winnt.sif (unattended file) in IWXP -folder together with the rest of boot-files – in case you want unattended setup.
In EasyBoot set menu as usual: run winxp.bin
Regards eureka

Ofcourse all directories in the guide off eureka are changed to XP01,XP02,XPMC.
XP01 and XP02 are working, but when I do the same with XPMC (mediacenter) it doesn't work???
Anyone?
