Hi all,

I was wondering if there is a way to have a range of configuration options on the Install CD that is to say i would like to have a couple of options like being able to choose between say booting with unattended option and have this setup using
[Data] 
    AutoPartition = 0
    MsDosInitiated = "0"
    UnattendedInstall = "Yes"


and another option with

[Data] 
    AutoPartition = 1
    MsDosInitiated = "0"
    UnattendedInstall = "Yes"


The reason for this would be i would like to have 1 cd that would cater for most installation requirements.

Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated :)

Felix

Yes, you can do it like that. I also have a similar requirement, and I made a multi-boot CD using the guide here.

Just remember that for your purpose, you won't need 2 different Install sources, just 2 BOOT folders, and a different winnt.sif in each. Hoping this helps.

Hi Big_gie,

Thanks for the tip that is far more simple than the previous reference... :) i have done all the work in 10 minutes :rolleyes: , but now need a CD boot loader. Can you suggest on this as i have been using Nero 6 to do my burns, but i can't see in there we i could create a chain boot.bin file...

What did you use as a CD boot loader?

Cheers,
Felix

You can use either of these two (not the only ones, but these are ruling, currently):
CDshell (freeware)- http://bootscriptor.cdshell.org/
EasyBoot (paid) - http://www.ezbsystems.com/easyboot/
