Hi, i'm trying to integrate Windows XP Professional x64 SP2 into my AIO DVD with various XP version already working.
So what i do:

I get $WIN_NT$.~BT and $WIN_NT$.~LS folders with this command running XP Professional x64 virtual machine:

CODE

D:\AMD64\WINNT32.EXE /noreboot

Delete:

CODE

\$WIN_NT$.~BT\BOOTSECT.DAT
\$WIN_NT$.~BT\migrate.inf
\$WIN_NT$.~BT\winnt.sif
\$WIN_NT$.~LS\SIZE.SIF

Rename/move:

CODE

\$WIN_NT$.~BT\ ---> ROOT\PRO1
\$WIN_NT$.~LS\I386 ---> ROOT\I386
\$WIN_NT$.~LS\AMD64 --->ROOT\AMD64

Copy:

CODE

win51 ---> ROOT\
win51ap ---> ROOT\
win51ap.sp2 ---> ROOT\

Hex edit:

CODE

ROOT\PRO1\setupldr.bin
hex address: 0x2060 from "74 03" to "EB 1A"

Final DVD layout:

CODE

AMD64
I386
PRO1
win51
win51ap
win51ap.sp2

All works fine. Boot and installation OK.
BUT i want to move AMD64 and I386 folders inside ROOT\Source. Editing PRO1\setupldr.bin didn't do the trick. No luck with PRO1\txtsetup.sif SetupSourcePath, like other Windows XP versions. win51, win51ap, win51ap.sp2 copied also to ROOT\Source.
I get "Txtsetup.sif is corrupt error".

Maybe there is an updated tutorial somewhere?
Thanks in advance, sorry for my poor english

New tutorial here:

Follow flyakite's tutorial and ignore flyakite's tutorial.

Don't use winnt32.exe.

Create a directory .\XP64.
Copy directories \I386 and \AMD64 to .\XP64\.
Create win51* flag files at root and at .\XP64\.
Copy files setupldr.bin, txtsetup.sif and ntdetect.com to \XP64\.

DVD Layout:
.\WIN51
.\WIN51AP
.\WIN51AP.SP2
.\XP64\AMD64\
.\XP64\I386\
.\XP64\WIN51
.\XP64\WIN51AP
.\XP64\WIN51AP.SP2
.\XP64\NTDETECT.COM
.\XP64\SETUPLDR.BIN
.\XP64\TXTSETUP.SIF

Edit setupldr.bin at directory .\XP64\

CODE

@echo off
rem multiboot_XP64.cmd - edit XP64 setupldr.bin
rem created by cdob

rem use gsar.exe: Tormod http://home.online.no/~tjaberg/

set setupldr=SETUPLDR.BIN
set char4=XP64

rem checksum: geitonaki http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=58410
gsar.exe -o "-s:x46:xda:x74:x03" "-r:x46:xda:xEB:x1A" %setupldr%

rem adjust \i386\ntdetect.com and AMD64
gsar.exe -o "-s\i386\ntdetect.com" "-r\%char4%\ntdetect.com" %setupldr%
gsar.exe -i -o "-sAMD64:x5C" "-r%char4%:x5C:x00" %setupldr%
gsar.exe -o "-sAMD64:x00" "-r%char4%:x00:x00" %setupldr%

Edit txtsetup.sif, adjust SetupSourcePath and create BootPath:

CODE

[SetupData]
SetupSourcePath = "\XP64\"
BootPath = \XP64\AMD64\

BTW:
txtsetup.sif, SetupSourcePath, BootPath does work at XP32 too.

As for Boot Sector: follow flyakite's tutorial
replace I386 with used 4 char name, remember .\XP64\ directory.
that's replace I386 with XP64

This is a good way but I get the error:

File \XP64\biosinfo.inf could not be loaded.
The error code is 14.

Setup cannot continue. Press any key to exit.

EDIT: Sorry my mistake I did not amend the "SetupSourcePath" in this file:

\XP64\TXTSETUP.SIF

Now it works!

This is a little confusing; Gremo calls it Boot Image, you call it Boot Sector. What exactly do you mean here? Does this apply for the .\XP64\setupldr.bin or the .\setupldr.bin or a different .bin ?

It's the same thing.
It is the "Microsoft Corporation.img" or "Arnes Boot Record" which is the El-Torito no emulation boot image and that is written to the CD bootsector.

Let's say that before being actually burned to CD it is a Boot Image and after it has been burned it is a Boot Sector.

Here:
http://flyakite.msfn.org/xpprosp1.htm
it's called Boot Sector, it's the 2048 bytes long file that ends like this:
