i made a os with ubcd4win with my windows xp sp2 disc and when i load the iso that was made by ubcd4win it works fine but when i try to load it from my multi boot dvd that i made then i get a error that says "x:\XPPE\system32\profiles.exe not found"

i checked if its missing but its there... i attached a screen shot of it...

Well, UBCD4Win does boot fine form \XPPE here.

Which DVD media do you use?
Try high quality media at a reliable writer.
Remember, there is no OS error correction at PE booting. A file maybe readable at windows, but unreadable at PE.

How do you prepare ISO image?
What's ISO file size?
What's profiles.exe LBA (Logical Block Address)? IsoBuster list LBA.

i loaded the original iso made by ubcd4win in vmware and it works fine...

i extracted files from this iso and injected it into my multi boot dvd iso via magic iso... but it doesn't work all ok cause i get the above error...


no media... no writing error... i boot from an iso via vmware

originally i used cdimage.exe to make the iso and heres the command i used in the batch file...

thats the only time i used cdimage.exe...
i prefer injecting files via isoimage and as far as i know it works like a charm... booting is never affected when i inject files with it...

2.68gb but it don't think it matters since its a multi-boot dvd

check screenshot attachment

UBCD4Win boot fine from a 2.6GB ISO image at VMware, \XPPE foldr, profiles.exe at LBA 1306171.
Default UBCD4Winbuilder used, a big dummy file added.
That's no files are injected via isoimage, a new ISO image is created.

what do i do?? lol

can somebody tell me what this guy did with plugins that fixed his problem...
http://ubcd4win.com/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t5135.html

A default plugin was used: (UBCD4Win)\plugin\Multiboot-003\ubcd

And default UBCD4Win ISO build solution was used, that's mkisofs.
Try mkisofs.

Or try cdimage. Your previous example does work too.
UBCD4Win does boot from \XPPE folder.

FIXED IT!!!

actually, i didn't fix anything... freaking bad iso... it turned out that my ultraiso application was making "unique" iso's every time i compiled the multi-boot folder... sometimes it would make an iso that worked and sometimes it didn't... other times parts of the iso's work and others don't like this "profiles.exe not found" case of mine...
