Hi guys Do you know how can I create a multiboot dvd so I have two Winpe distributions on one DVD? HERE'S THE ANSWER !!! SEE HERE !!! Suppose you'd like to have a dvd with Vista/Win7 setup files(installation disk) PLUS ERD Commander, Active Boot Disk, ESET SysRescue or any other custom made WinPE that you built, on a multiboot CD/DVD, so you could chose which one you'd like to boot. How do you do it? Answer: very easy if you know where to look complete procedure... use the default WinVista, WIN 7 or any WinPE dvd or any bootable wim. copy the contents to the HDD the structure would be CODE dvd1 | - Project Root | - BOOT (CONTAINS THE BCD FILE TO BE EDITED) | - EFI | - SOURCES (CONTAINS THE PE .WIM FILES) | - OTHER FILES In the boot folder we need to run the command bcdedit /store bcd /ENUM This will give you the details of old entry in the boot loader. You need to note the guid. In every case the default guid is {7619dcc8-fafe-11d9-b411-000476eba25f} CODE bcdedit /store bcd /enum CODE Windows Boot Manager -------------------- identifier {bootmgr} description Windows Boot Manager locale en-US inherit {globalsettings} default {default} displayorder {default} toolsdisplayorder {memdiag} timeout 30 Windows Boot Loader ------------------- identifier {default} device ramdisk=[boot]\sources\boot.wim,{7619dcc8-fafe-11d9-b411-000476eba25f} path \windows\system32\boot\winload.exe description Windows Setup locale en-US inherit {bootloadersettings} osdevice ramdisk=[boot]\sources\boot.wim,{7619dcc8-fafe-11d9-b411-000476eba25f} systemroot \windows detecthal Yes winpe Yes ems Yes First you'd like to see the existing boot entries in the BCD store. CODE bcdedit /store bcd /ENUM *** note the old guid Then you copy the default boot entry to a new entry in the bcd store, that has to be updated. CODE bcdedit /store bcd /copy {default} /d "Active Boot Disk" *** new guid is given at this stage Active Boot Disk is the description I'd like to use for my Active Boot Disk WinPE. CODE operation completed successfully. {613fe2f0-2356-11de-bf6a-001e4cdc40b1} ***{613fe2f0-2356-11de-bf6a-001e4cdc40b1}=new guid It can be different for you. therefore my new guid is {613fe2f0-2356-11de-bf6a-001e4cdc40b1} now CODE bcdedit /store bcd /set {newguid} DEVICE ramdisk=[boot]\sources\boot32.wim,{oldguid} boot32.wim being the name I chose for the Active Boot wim file. You can rename it as you like, but you can not use spaces. CODE operation completed successfully. next CODE bcdedit /store bcd /set {newguid} OSDEVICE ramdisk=[boot]\sources\boot32.wim,{oldguid} *** boot32.wim is the file copied from the active boot disk (boot.wim renamed) *** to check whether the bcd store has 2 ramdisks bcdedit /store bcd /ENUM CODE Windows Boot Manager -------------------- identifier {bootmgr} description Windows Boot Manager locale en-US inherit {globalsettings} default {default} displayorder {default} {613fe2f0-2356-11de-bf6a-001e4cdc40b1} toolsdisplayorder {memdiag} timeout 30 Windows Boot Loader ------------------- identifier {default} device ramdisk=[boot]\sources\boot.wim,{7619dcc8-fafe-11d9-b411-000476eba25f} path \windows\system32\boot\winload.exe description Windows Setup locale en-US inherit {bootloadersettings} osdevice ramdisk=[boot]\sources\boot.wim,{7619dcc8-fafe-11d9-b411-000476eba25f} systemroot \windows detecthal Yes winpe Yes ems Yes Windows Boot Loader ------------------- identifier {613fe2f0-2356-11de-bf6a-001e4cdc40b1} device ramdisk=[boot]\sources\boot32.wim,{7619dcc8-fafe-11d9-b411-000476eba25f} path \windows\system32\boot\winload.exe description Active Boot Disk locale en-US inherit {bootloadersettings} osdevice ramdisk=[boot]\sources\boot32.wim,{7619dcc8-fafe-11d9-b411-000476eba25f} systemroot \windows detecthal Yes winpe Yes ems Yes like this you may add n number of vista pes... (i have tested 3 PEs + Windows Vista Setup) to the BCD Store. Just you have to keep the oldguid to same as {7619dcc8-fafe-11d9-b411-000476eba25f} CODE {7619dcc8-fafe-11d9-b411-000476eba25f} will never change... that's the rule.copy the boot.wim file in sources folder of active boot disk/ ghost pe/ erdcommander 6.0 to the sources folder in disk1 in the project. and rename it to desired. i renamed it to boot32.wim you may use any... {default} is not a variable and need not be changed. Next This is a script that automates the above process: CODE Rem BCD (boot configuration data) editor for multiple vista pe REM THIS IS THE ORIGINAL BCD FILE EXTRACTED FROM ANY VISTA WINPE / VISTA DVD (I USED VISTA INSTALLATION) set BCD-File="c:\bcd 1\BCD" REM SET THE NAME FOR THE VISTA PE HERE set pename="Your PE Name" REM SET THE NAME FOR THE WIM.FILE HERE WITH PATH set filena=[boot]\sources\yourwimfile.wim for /f "eol=r tokens=1-2" %%a in ('bcdedit /store %BCD-File% /ENUM all') do set rdo=%%b for /f "tokens=1-7" %%a in ('Bcdedit /store %BCD-File% /copy {default} /d %pename%') do set guid1=%%g bcdedit /store %BCD-File% /set %guid1:~0,38% DEVICE ramdisk=%filena%,%rdo% bcdedit /store %BCD-File% /set %guid1:~0,38% OSDEVICE ramdisk=%filena%,%rdo% bcdedit /store %BCD-File% /ENUM Run it as many times as you like to add multiple pes after changing the variables - bcd-file, pename, filena remember not to use any spaces in filena variable. I hope it helps thanks to varun037 This post has been edited by atolica: Aug 8 2009, 11:26 AM |
