kDn Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Well, AFAIK the "\tinybit\" repository is somehow a (temporary) "fork" from "main" to experiment some new things.I wouldn't use it if not for experiments ONLY, as we don't know if it will be "merged back" to main.I use few versions grub4dos at same time . Currently I testing my fbinst.cmd script for automatic and simple working with different boot-loaders. After some testing I publicate it to boot-land . Maybe it will be interesting some people.Additional info:http://forum.ru-board.com/topic.cgi?forum=...p;start=1640#20 (old version)http://forum.ru-board.com/topic.cgi?forum=...mp;start=2060#4 (new version)http://forum.ru-board.com/topic.cgi?forum=...p;start=2060#20 (update)Script using some ideas by COD11 & jaclaz http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?...ost&p=86217 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 (edited) Russian is unfortunately a bit hard (though better than Chinese ) to my western eyes.But I will wait with interest an English release of it, here or on boot-land. jaclaz Edited December 14, 2009 by jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheK Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Hi, would it be possible to integrate the content of XP_INST.IMA directly into the XP_RAM.ISO image? That way we could use the floppy image for other F6 drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdob Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 would it be possible to integrate the content of XP_INST.IMA directly into the XP_RAM.ISO image?Yes, edit file textsetup.sif first. Add files and load the RAM disk driver.I did not know what to do with the file MkISO_RAMload_sort.cmdtitle Loading XP RAM install - / Inst / XP_RAM.ISO (0xFE) 234,567 ls / Inst / XP_RAM.ISOmap - mem (0xFE) 234,567 (0xFF)234567 sectors is a example. You have to adjust the example to your needs.In adddisiton: 234567 is not 234,567. Is 234,567 a valid grub4dos number? Read Post #69: MkISO_RAMload_sort.cmd creates a file RAMboot.lst too. This file contain the sector number.Try the menu.lst examples from Post #69. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddy_fizz Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Any simplier methods to make a sorted ISO? I seem to be having a heck of a time getting all the tools to work, and getting strange errors from the .cmd...~Fizz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdob Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 @sh770The source dir does containt the windows installation files.Create a directory C:\INST\XP_RAM\Copy all files and directories from your windows installation CD to hard disk C:\INST\XP_RAM\Extract the Boot Image file to C:\INST\XP_RAM\bootsect.bin.

jaclaz Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 English is such a difficult language, but I wonder which is the difficult part:You need to open a command prompt and "run" it specifying the options (if needed) and AT LEAST the Windows_source_directory.Example:You ran:MkISO_RAMload_sort.cmdYou can see that you DID NOT specify ANYTHING on command line, exception made for the script name.Command lines like these:MkISO_RAMload_sort.cmd C:\INST\XP_RAMMkISO_RAMload_sort.cmd XP_RAMcontain the MINIMUM, REQUIRED parameter (the Source).A sommand line like this:MkISO_RAMload_sort.cmd -b myboot.bin XP_RAMhas, besides the minimum, required source the option to use INSTEAD of the DEFAULT bootsector file "bootsect.bin" a custom one, named "myboot.bin".jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddy_fizz Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Ok went to test it...It boots and gets to "starting windows" section of txt setup.Blue screens with this message"Stop: c0000221 unknown hard error \systemroot\system32\ntdll.dll"I take it something didn't get sorted right or ???
