May I make a feature request? I would love to be able to choose a name for each 2000/XP/2003 install, instead of the program using something like XPpSP3, XPpSP31. I guess we are limited to eight characters right? How about using the name of the folder source?

Hi,

I installed Windows 8 (Windows Developer Preview) successfully with the latest beta version.

Well done,

Did you partition the device with RMPREPUSB (or with anything else)?

This software works great! I am able to install either windows xp or window 7. Is there a way to have multiple versions of windows xp or 7? My goal is to setup my usb drive to install windows 7 pro, home or ultimate. as well as windows xp pro or home. I am also trying to rename the selection when I launch the installation, but have been unsuccessful. Will you please help. Thanks

Re-read, this time SLOWLY first post on this very thread.

What it can be used for adding to your USB stick/disk:

- multiple Windows XP/2kX sources in the same partition (up to 10 99 with vers. 1.0). They have to be in the first(no longer applies to 1.0 versions) any primary partition of the USB disk if hard disk type. If USB stick- Windows will not see any other partitions, but the first one, so you are restricted to it anyway.
Existing folders ~BT and ~LS and TXTSETUP.SIF will be renamed, and SETUPLDR.BIN and SETUPDD.SYS patched against the new names. Checksum checks are also corrected.(no longer applies to 1.0 versions). BTS OEM folders are supported and renamed accordingly.

....

- Vista/Windows 7/Server 2008 setup to different primary partitions. Multiple Vista sources in the SAME partition are NOT supported. Place your second Vista/7/Server 2008 setup in another partition. It can be placed in any primary partition. If looking for several Vista/Server 2008/7 sources in the same partition have a look here or if just for 7 or Vista here. The first ling would require you manually to put everything to the USB disk, if using the second you can point the program to the prepared AOI source.

Please note how first link:
http://sites.google....and-server-2008
should now actually be:
http://www.rmprepusb...and-server-2008

Sometimes I wonder WHY people wants (actually demands ) to introduce their own variations BEFORE having become familiar with a tool/procedure.

Thanks for offering this excellent program, I really like it.
I suggest that WinSetupFromUSB can support multiple languages just like the current RMPrepUSB.
I am from China, If you can, I want to make Simplified Chinese language file for this program.

Hi,
I downloaded wsfUSB 0.2.3 and I need to install nLite-d WINXP on my usb stick, but when I get to choose source, I get error message saying "This doesn't seem to be valid source, could not find DOSNET.INF". Before that, I had a different error message saying something like "WIN32.exe could not be found", but that one disappeared now...

Any advices please?
Thank you.

It is likely that you are using a (probably nlited) NON-ORIGINAL version of the Source from which some needed files were removed. (or somehow the source is corrupted/unreadable)
You cannot use the 0.2.3 with such a source, you can try with 1.0 beta7, but probably you will have to try with this approach :

WinNTsetup didn't work, but 1.0 beta7 worked like a charm.
Thank you!

Hello,

Thanks again for this very useful program!

To put it short, I have a question: is there a way to replace the usage of Grub4dos with Syslinux? I hope I'm not asking some dumb question.

Thank you.

Yes/No.

The question in itself it's not dumb at all (exception made for the way you asked it ), but I guess you should at least mention WHY anyone should want to modify a working app (at the risk of introducing bugs/problems/issues). Mind you I am not saying it is possible or not, though form the little I kow of Syslinux/Memdisk, etc. it has IMHO some less flexibility in re-mapping drives, which is conversely one of the needed features for the WinSetupfromUSB and that grub4dos provides flawlessly)

I mean WHAT advantages would you expect in using Syslinux instead of grub4dos?

jaclaz

[MackTK]

Sorry. I was quite tired when I was asking the question above, and presumed that the question implies that I would like to know how to do that, or if it was possible. At that time, I didn't found the words necessary to extend the sentence.

Anyway, I don't want the program modified, I wanted some help or advice from people with greater knowledge than mine to replace G4D with Syslinux. Sorry again if I put the question the wrong way. The purpose? One USB stick with other tools besides Win setup, tools that are already using Syslinux. I would like to avoid multi-partitioning and I wonder if Winsetupfromusb's boot manager can be recreated in Syslinux.

1) Extract the ISO somewhere, select Syslinux option and point program to the directory with the extracted contents. Press GO. Then rename ISOLINUX directory on USB disk to SYSLINUX, rename ISOLINUX.CFG to SYSLINUX.CFG inside the renamed SYSLINUX directory too.

Hi,
I want to add Nero BackupItUp ImageTool to my USB disk, this is ISO with "ISOLINUX" files: ISOLINUX.BIN, ISOLINUX.CFG, root.img and other...
I tried quoted method and fail. How I can add this ISO to my USB-pendrive?

P.S. In BCDW 1.5 it working fine (extracting filesfrom ISO and launching ISOLINUX.BIN)

Yes, but I don't still see WHY you want to REPLACE grub4dos, maybe it would be easier to integrate the result of WinsetupfromUSB into your Syslinux based thingy.
The multipartiioning is only needed (talking of WinsetupfromUSB) if you need several Vista /7 /Server 2008 versions.

grub4dos can be chainloaded by Syslinux allright, like (example):

Quote

LABEL grub4dos
KERNEL /grub.exe

So, all you have to do should be to use Syslinux to load the thingy as is (instead of having grub4dos being the "main" bootloader/bootmanager).

If it is possible to have on the same partition G4D and Syslinux, you're right, chailoading from one to another is the solution. Worth trying. Thank you.

Sure it is possible, as said in the form of grub.exe grub4dos is a Linux kernel (besides being a DOS program), all you need is to add to your Syslinux booting thingy the grub.exe and possibly a modified menu.lst.
