Hello all,

While I'd hate to sound like a rookie (even though I know I will ), I read about half of the thread and did not find an answer to a rookie-like question. So, even though I do understand this is a how-to and not a tutorial and I do understand what isolinux actually does (and does not) and I do understand what a boot information for each ISO is and how can be extracted, I still can't understand (/find) how I would end up having a multi-boot DVD when starting with the following "baseline":

- one ISO Acronis
- one ISO Dell Diagnostics
- one ISO Win XP SP2 (orig.)
- one ISO Mandriva Spring 2007
- one ISO Win XP SP2 May 2007 (nLite for desktop)
- one ISO Win XP SP2 Feb 2008 (nLite for laptop + Intel SCSI drivers)

My main concern is the layout of the data on the final DVD (where does each ISO content need to go). I understand that pushing the ISO's (as mere files) on it won't actually work (would it ?), but do I need to extract the contents of each ISO in the DVD root for the setup of each one to function (especially the XP ones) ? This, as I understand it, would be quite tricky for me, as the 3 XP "distributions" I need to push there are quite different one from each other.

So, does someone have some words for me around this ?

Thanks.

Rookies to the entire Multi-Boot CD/DVD sub-forum make the same mistake over-and-over again: they have these super elaborate projects (exactly WHAT is the point of XPSP2 2007 and 2008 !?!?!) and expect someone to guide them to their destination. The entire point of this exercise is to start w/ a small, doable project and incrementally build it into exactly what you want, on your own.

To repeat what's been said before: The contents of ISOs must be extracted to the hdrive and the ISO's bootstrap must be extracted using BBIE (search the topic for the link and details.) The 1st msg in the topic explains most of one needs to know about disc layout. I've also pointed out Andre's MultiBoot DVD topic as the source for details about adding XP (or whatever) to a Super-Disc project.

Later....Jet

Hi,

Ok, thanks, but I actually got the entire project running with CD Shell, except for Acronis True Image 10, which I can either get to say something like "Boot error ..." or I can either get it to crash during it's own linux-based loader => has someone managed in some way to get it running ?

Thanks.

Acronis True image is a pain in the a**. I had version 9 working about two years ago but to be honest Clonezilla does just as good a job (if not better). All the info you need is right here in the forum if you really want to get it working though, just search .

Isn't Clonezilla a client-server solution only ? I started playing w/ it aft you mentioned your work and dropped it for this reason, as I recall. Actually, I want to revisit PartImage this month bec I need a freeware solution for the disk imaging issue....Jet

[kof94]

If you want to make use of multi-casting then you need to setup a DRBL server but if you just want to clone local disks or backup an image to a system on your network then you use the Clonezilla LiveCD! Incidentally Clonezilla implements Partimage, ntfsclone, UDPcast etc for this task.

An added bonus with Clonezilla is it can either create a traditional raw copy of the source disk (entire disk) or just clone the used part of the disk which obviously makes your image smaller and the process faster.

I know I'm starting to sound like an advert here but I've been using Clonezilla for a while now and I really can't see why anyone would spend out on a commercial piece of software that just provides a pretty Windowsy front end with less functionality.

End of rant

If you're knowledgeable of a subj, it's okay to sound as if you like your choice. Yeah, NTFSCLONE; must try that too. Frankly, I only need one [program]. I've been holding on to copies of GHOST 8 from the days when they bundled it w/ every mboard, but I can't legitmately leave it anywhere even though it's everything I need, incl [and esp] its GDISK. I think PartImage has everything I need, exc they [the authors] won't completely finish it and release 1.0.

Anyway, TTYL....Jet

That's one of the reasons I always look for a FOSS alternative now.

I had a version of my multi-boot disc stolen from my desk at work recently but it doesn't matter because everything on it was FOSS or freeware.

I would have liked to have been asked but at least I've done that person a favor by introducing them to Linux (oops wrong forum ).

I added dsl as guided in the 1st post of this topic. After bootup, when I select dsl, it searches for usb devices after that it says Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem. Please help me here.

[rageaddict]

did you forget to add the rock ridge file system?

[Cyborg_sa]

I think I did. Can u give an example on how to enable rock ridge ?


EDIT:
I added the rock ridge but no use it shows the same error.

EDIT:
Added joliet and everything works fine.

have you put the dsl files in root??

anyways, im using cdshell because i have widows on my multi boot... you could try pointing your dvd boot file to > cdshell > and cdshell to isolinux...
use cdshell to boot dsl... just a wild guess.

No. CDSHELL uses a hacked ISOLINUX and we speak the latest ISOLINUX around here. Besides, DSL (up to 3.3) definitely works w/ ISOLINUX. RockRidge isn't the answer, nor is putting the DSL files in the root....Jet

[rageaddict]

i just downloaded DSL 4.4.1 and managed to multi boot it..

heres how..
1) i extracted everything from dsl-4.4.1.iso to a folder named DSL
2) i copied everything within folder DSL\BOOT\ISOLINUX to folder DSL
3) i copied everything within folder DSL\KNOPPIX to folder DSL
4) i deleted folder DSL\BOOT
5) i deleted DSL\LOST+FOUND

so the folder contents of DSL are...

Quote

boot.cat
boot.msg
f2
f3
german.kbd
isolinux.bin
isolinux.cfg
KNOPPIX
linux24
logo.16
minirt24.gz

finally here's the isolinux command i use to call DSL from cdshell.ini

Quote

if $lastKey == key[b]; then isolinux /SETUP/DSL/linux24 ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=us apm=power-off vga=791 xmodule=fbdev initrd=/SETUP/DSL/minirt24.gz nomce noapic quiet knoppix_dir=/SETUP/DSL/ BOOT_IMAGE=knoppix

its all one line... and i made some changes...

1) i kept folder DSL in a folder called SETUP (doesn't matter where you put it. just remember to call perfectly from the cdshell.ini menu)

2) i use the above command to redirect to the following files LINUX24 / MINIRT24.GZ / KNOPPIX.

finally, i set my file system to ISO 9660 and ROCK RIDGE...

[rageaddict]

EDIT : for some reason this method doesn't work with multi-boot... all the isolinux commands from cdshell.ini technically fail...

for example this one...

Quote

if $lastKey == key[b]; then isolinux /SETUP/DSL/linux24 ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=us apm=power-off vga=791 xmodule=fbdev initrd=/SETUP/DSL/minirt24.gz nomce noapic quiet knoppix_dir=/SETUP/DSL/ BOOT_IMAGE=knoppix

this ends with the "filesystem not found" error screen.

however, make an iso with just and only dsl with cdshell and it boots up perfectly... no errors...

i always use rock ridge and iso 9660 as file systems...
does anybody know why this happens???

I added knoppix, tested it through vmware. Now I cant build an ISO when I try to add BartPE. I get the following error:

If I remove -joliet parameter, ISO file is created but KNOPPIX does not work. Any Solution to this?

Add Rock Ridge file extension instead: mkisofs -r

Done already. This does not help

Just found a solution. mkisofs should be used with the following parameters

Quote

mkisofs -no-pad -U -J -joliet-long -hide-joliet

As for my DVD structure

Quote

mkisofs -N -V "Multiboot-DVD" -b boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin -no-pad -U -J -joliet-long -hide-joliet -d -iso-level 4 -c boot.cat -hide boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -o D:\Test.iso D:\Multiboot-DVD

Now everything works fine

Actually, this is my fault. I need to update the intro msg to the topic to include a download site for MKISOFS, that works w/ the initial script I provided. As I've pointed out in later msgs, there are several versions of MKISOFS w/ minor cmd-line incompatibilities.

I would definitely discourage anyone from using RockRidge in conjunction w/ BartPE or XP. No probs w/ Linux, but it always fouled up Windows-based sware on my builds....Jet
