This loader.bin actually comes with CDImage itself, so it's not related to CD Shell. Think of the loader.bin file as the binary code that tells the machine (where) to start loading stuff from the DVD. What happens next is that the machine starts to load the CD Shell "operating system" wich in turn launches the menu. The loader.bin file is the same for pretty much any DVD, except DVD's with secure data. This post has been edited by andregcasal: Nov 14 2009, 03:16 PM

Read the CD boot specs again. QUOTE and that loader.bin sector on the iso tells the machine to check the folder /BOOT for the next step? Loader.bin load cdshell main application: cdsh.bin. By the way: cdshell is not developed since 2005.

CD Shell contain a loader.bin. It's recommended to use this loader for CD Shell. QUOTE (andregcasal @ Nov 14 2009, 03:23 PM) BTW, is there any leading open source booter around? What's a leading booter? There are two open source booter developed currently: grub4dos and syslinux.

Yes, grub4dos is also used by the MultibootISOMaker: http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=23375 but I have no idea (as of yet) how to set that up for a menu to run XP x64 setupldr.bin files.. if you find a decent example, please post it here.
