SETUPLDR is supposed to load from a CD/DVD not from removable (HD) medium as in the case of memory stick

when trying to load SETUPLDR from Stick, it finds that is being loaded from a HD and not optical medium tires to load OS (XP) not the setup thats why it fails.

There is a thread telling how to load an 5.x windows from usb
Here it is http://www.msfn.org/board/boot-install-USB...html&st=480

bcdedit /store H:\boot\bcd /set {ntldr} path \I386\SETUPLDR.BIN

(bolding is mine)

I don't think that a \I386\ SETUPLDR will load x64 files? :unsure:

The NEW link to the Install XP from USB is this one:
http://www.msfn.org/...SB-t111406.html
but it is \I386 related, not x64.

jaclaz:
but the SETUPLDR.BIN is in I386 dir of X64 cd not in AMD64 dir

so its not due to I386

its due to the loader recognizes what the source it is booting (CD or HD or removable hd or stick).

About 3 months ago I installed XP x64 off my flash drive using your method of multibooting the vista and xp installs and it worked just fine. I wonder what it is I did to get it work. It was heavily nlited as is my new XP x64 source so I don't know if I've changed anything my removals that could have gotten around this check.

I meant it was nlited when it did work...
It's still nlited, but I don't recall which version I used when it worked as this was several months ago and I'm sure I've changed several removals since then.

I figured out how to get multiple Win PE 2.0 WIMs in the menu with help from the posting here:
http://www.deployvista.com/Blog/JohanArwidmark/tabid/78/EntryID/27/Default.aspx

This is what I ended up with:

cdimage.exe -lMultiBoot_Test -u1 -e -oi -m -h -bD:\multiboot\boot\etfsboot.com D:\multiboot "multiboot_test.iso"

Now everything works nicely. :thumbup

Thansk for the script

for me it reports errors on the

 
 [b]for /f "tokens=1-3" %%a in ('%bcdedit% /store %BCD-File% /create /d "%D%" /application osloader') do set guidd=%%c[/b]

Lines, i've modded them to :

 
for /f "[i][b]tokens=2[/b][/i]" %%a in ('%bcdedit% /store %BCD-File% /create /d "%D%" /application osloader') do set guidd=[b]%%[i]a[/i][/b]

I'm using a french bcdedit version

help me

Before I worked perfectly!

I would be getting an NTDETECT failed message when I start my XP PRO install off of my hard disk, but not in VMware off of a .iso file would you? I used the bcd commands in this order:

bcdedit /store H:\boot\bcd /create {ntldr} /d "Windows XP Professional"
bcdedit /store H:\boot\bcd /set {ntldr} device boot
bcdedit /store H:\boot\bcd /set {ntldr} path \I386\SETUPLDR.BIN
bcdedit /store H:\boot\bcd /displayorder {ntldr} /addfirst
bcdedit /store H:\boot\bcd /set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu yes
bcdedit /store H:\boot\bcd /set {default} description "Windows Vista"
bcdedit /store H:\boot\bcd /default {ntldr}

thank you

I have solved the problem, my mistake. Not necessary change things by UltraISO otherwise you lose the parameters of boot BCEdit.

Thank you

When I do this, every menu item that shows in the Windows Boot Manager is named "Ramdisk options". Thoughts?

Problem solved. Found in another thread here - the BOOTMGR.EXE from the latest WAIK is the culprit. Using the BOOTMGR.EXE from the older WAIK displays the menu items correctly.

The working BOOTMGR I have is version 6.0.6000.16386.

The non-working BOOTMGR is version 6.0.6001.18000.
