My best guess: When you are creating the ISO file, the batch command start cdimage.exe -lDVD -t01/01/2006,12:00:00 -b\DVD\BOOT\loader.bin -h -n -o -m \DVD C:\AIODVD.iso imprints the loader.bin into the corresponding section of the ISO. 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.

So, I think this means you need to burn cdshell's
loader.bin to that sector

No, loader.bin is not located at sector 17. Read the CD boot specs again.

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.

What's a leading booter?

There are two open source booter developed currently:
grub4dos and syslinux.

Leading stads for leadership, the leader, the best, the most used. grub4dos must do the job. Thank you.

Yes, grub4dos is also used by the MultibootISOMaker: http://www.911cd.net...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.

General grub4dos informations: integrated help file
http://grub4dos.sourceforge.net/wiki/index...ub4dos_tutorial
http://diddy.boot-la...os/Grub4dos.htm

Grub4dos can chainload setupldr.bin: no need for a boot sector file.

Grub4dos was enhanced recently, 14th Nov 2009: http://nufans.net/grub4dos/tinybit/
Editing in RAM is possible now.

I'm currently gathering information to update the guide. One feature I recently decided to include is USB drive support. Like it?

I like it a lot --- I used the version of this guide pre XPSP3 with great success --- and USB (> 4.7GB) support would be a godsend. I have an old BartPE XPe USB working, but have never been able to install a new OS from the XPe environment. Granted, in that realm, I had to format it to FAT in order to get everything working, but that goes back to 2007 or so.

PM me if there's anything you want help w/ or want me to test.

Can the guide be more clear ? explain more?

Hei grabben it's normal that you feel its confusing at first, specially if you are new at this.
I sugest you read it all once or twice (complete timeline explanation at the end) and once you understand it, start working on it.

This guide has many small steps and if you make a mistake in one, everything's screwed up. The text is small due to a forum update and I kinda liked it. Keeps things in perspective and reduces the changes of you skipping a step.
I'm trying to get the next guide update as small as possible, but I think I'm gonna need to program some stuff myself to cut some steps down. Windows Vista is tricky as hell

Thanks Andregcasal for reply.

Yea well i read a few times.. i just lack motivation/whatever you want to call it for doing things like this but im trying to
Ive read the guide few times but still seems like a mess to me but one more time.


Vista? Hm what updates can we be expecting?

[andregcasal]

Well, I'm trying to add Windows Vista and Windows 7 into this guide, but that would completely change the way the DVD is booted and would take alot of steps to do it.
So I'm trying to figure out a way to make things simple. And I'm trying to cut ALOT of steps down without taking adaptability out.

It's to be expected a easy-to-follow version of a Multi-boot Guide with 98, XP, Vista, 7, Linux and Mac OS (not sure yet) compatibility with unnattended, streamlined software, driver packs and USB pen drive support.
And some minor things I forgot to mention

[grabben]

That'll be tough work if you want Windows, linux and mac all together but it should be doable .

[hansekarl]

cool staff, thanks for sharing . but how do you copy a dvd to another dvd? dvd copy tool ,any suggestions?
