i was just wondering if it was possible to have windows 2000/XP/ME/98 and maybe 95 on one disc? i have tried to do this using the easyboot help file, but i cant understand what the author is saying to do. i get to the part where you have to change lines within the file w2ksect.bin and it says that 1 string should be changed, but it keeps saying 0 were changed. i cannot get the menu to boot the xp or 2000 installations. i got windows 95/98/me all working on one cd. but now i want to do 2000/XP/ME/98 on one if its possible. please somebody help. Tia

kindest regards, brian

When you are editing w2ksect.bin, you should replace I386 with something else with 4 caracters like your boot folder... for example XP1A.

Pay attention to CAPITAL letters... it should say 1 occurence replaced

ok, now that make perfect sense, that was my problem then. when i try it tommorrow, i will respond with my outcome. but i think that the help contents could be maybe redone and translated properly or at least be re-written, because they are very hard to follow, no offense to the author of this program. this program is well written, just the help could use some, err.... help. lol. well thanks again.

regards, brian

I made a N in 1 DVD with easy boot. I added win98, win me, win2000 pro, win2003(all the three versions), winXP pro, winXP home, winXP media center, ERD commander 2003, UBCD 3.4 full, acronis trueimage workstation bootable cd.
Win98, win me, winXP pro, winXP home and UBCD work well (I mean computer boots from these bootables) but when I try to boot from others, following errors appear:
(1)Win2000 : Could not find NTLDR
(2)Win2003 All versions : setuptxt.sif corrupted or missing (or something like this)
(3)ERD commander : Could not find NTLDR
(4)Acronis Trueimage : Could not find NTLDR
(5)Win XP media center : setup runs properly in text mode setup but when enters into
                                         GUI mode setup during file copy, setup promt me to give exact path of setup files and when I give the path G:\WXPM\I386 (WXPM is the directory of win XP media center) setup runs properly but I have to repeat this step again and again when promt. Please Help ME……..
