Hi, i'm trying to integrate Windows XP Professional x64 SP2 into my AIO DVD with various XP version already working.
So what i do:

I get $WIN_NT$.~BT and $WIN_NT$.~LS folders with this command running XP Professional x64 virtual machine:
CODE
D:\AMD64\WINNT32.EXE /noreboot


Delete:
CODE
\$WIN_NT$.~BT\BOOTSECT.DAT
\$WIN_NT$.~BT\migrate.inf
\$WIN_NT$.~BT\winnt.sif
\$WIN_NT$.~LS\SIZE.SIF


Rename/move:
CODE
\$WIN_NT$.~BT\ ---> ROOT\PRO1
\$WIN_NT$.~LS\I386 ---> ROOT\I386
\$WIN_NT$.~LS\AMD64 --->ROOT\AMD64


Copy:
CODE
win51 ---> ROOT\
win51ap ---> ROOT\
win51ap.sp2 ---> ROOT\


Hex edit:
CODE
ROOT\PRO1\setupldr.bin
hex address: 0x2060 from "74 03" to "EB 1A"


Final DVD layout:

CODE
AMD64
I386
PRO1
win51
win51ap
win51ap.sp2


All works fine. Boot and installation OK.
BUT i want to move AMD64 and I386 folders inside ROOT\Source. Editing PRO1\setupldr.bin didn't do the trick. No luck with PRO1\txtsetup.sif SetupSourcePath, like other Windows XP versions. win51, win51ap, win51ap.sp2 copied also to ROOT\Source.
I get "Txtsetup.sif is corrupt error".

Maybe there is an updated tutorial somewhere?
Thanks in advance, sorry for my poor english smile.gif

Maybe there is an updated tutorial somewhere?

New tutorial here:

Follow flyakite's tutorial and ignore flyakite's tutorial.

Don't use winnt32.exe.

Create a directory .\XP64.
Copy directories \I386 and \AMD64 to .\XP64\.
Create win51* flag files at root and at .\XP64\.
Copy files setupldr.bin, txtsetup.sif and ntdetect.com to \XP64\.

DVD Layout:
.\WIN51
.\WIN51AP
.\WIN51AP.SP2
.\XP64\AMD64\
.\XP64\I386\
.\XP64\WIN51
.\XP64\WIN51AP
.\XP64\WIN51AP.SP2
.\XP64\NTDETECT.COM
.\XP64\SETUPLDR.BIN
.\XP64\TXTSETUP.SIF

Edit setupldr.bin at directory .\XP64\
CODE
@echo off
rem multiboot_XP64.cmd - edit XP64 setupldr.bin
rem created by cdob

rem use gsar.exe: Tormod http://home.online.no/~tjaberg/

set setupldr=SETUPLDR.BIN
set char4=XP64

rem checksum: geitonaki http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=58410
gsar.exe -o "-s:x46:xda:x74:x03" "-r:x46:xda:xEB:x1A" %setupldr%

rem adjust \i386\ntdetect.com and AMD64
gsar.exe -o "-s\i386\ntdetect.com" "-r\%char4%\ntdetect.com" %setupldr%
gsar.exe -i -o "-sAMD64:x5C" "-r%char4%:x5C:x00" %setupldr%
gsar.exe -o "-sAMD64:x00" "-r%char4%:x00:x00" %setupldr%


Edit txtsetup.sif, adjust SetupSourcePath and create BootPath:
CODE
[SetupData]
SetupSourcePath = "\XP64\"
BootPath = \XP64\AMD64\


BTW:
txtsetup.sif, SetupSourcePath, BootPath does work at XP32 too.

As for Boot Sector: follow flyakite's tutorial
replace I386 with used 4 char name, remember .\XP64\ directory.
that's replace I386 with XP64

This is a good way but I get the error:

File \XP64\biosinfo.inf could not be loaded.
The error code is 14.

Setup cannot continue. Press any key to exit.

EDIT: Sorry my mistake I did not amend the "SetupSourcePath" in this file:

\XP64\TXTSETUP.SIF

Now it works!

This is a little confusing; Gremo calls it Boot Image, you call it Boot Sector. What exactly do you mean here?

It's the same thing.
It is the "Microsoft Corporation.img" or "Arnes Boot Record" which is the El-Torito no emulation boot image and that is written to the CD bootsector.

Let's say that before being actually burned to CD it is a Boot Image and after it has been burned it is a Boot Sector. newwink.gif

Here:
http://flyakite.msfn.org/xpprosp1.htm
it's called Boot Sector, it's the 2048 bytes long file that ends like this:

set setupldr=SETUPLDR.BIN
set char4=XP64

gsar.exe -o "-s:x46:xda:x74:x03" "-r:x46:xda:xEB:x1A" %setupldr%

gsar.exe -o "-s\i386\ntdetect.com" "-r\%char4%\ntdetect.com" %setupldr%
gsar.exe -i -o "-sAMD64:x5C" "-r%char4%:x5C:x00" %setupldr%
gsar.exe -o "-sAMD64:x00" "-r%char4%:x00:x00" %setupldr%

So are these still valid as the only 4 required changes inside setupldr.bin for XP x64 (SP2+)?

And should this be applied to both copies of setupldr.bin per OS (the one in the original location and the one in the os-root) ?

Is moving ntdetect.com one folder up simply to get the 4char replacement of i386 working, or is there another reason?
If it would be:
"\i386\ntdetect.com" -> "\%char4%\i386\ntdetect.com"
one would not have to move ntdetect.com in the os-root, right?

Thanks!

OK, I was under the impression that XP64 isos don't use this anymore.. Is there an easy way to obtain such image from an official XP64 iso without having to use Isobuster?

Yes, this is valid for XP x64 SP2.
What's (SP2+) ?

QUOTE

Apply this for relocated versions.
There is no need to change setupldr.bin at original location.

However mixing original and relocated versions may get strange results.
Or work without any issue. No idea.

Yes, it is.

BBIE - Bart's Boot Image Extractor http://www.nu2.nu/bbie/

spcmdcon.sys contains the boot image too. At offset 0x17F00, size one CD data sector.

Just meant an up to date XP x64 image, I have no idea if MS ever updated setupldr.bin post the XP64 SP2 disk release..

Thanks!

Is replacing all the amd64 entries as in
CODE
gsar.exe -i -o "-sAMD64:x5C" "-r%char4%:x5C:x00" %setupldr%
gsar.exe -o "-sAMD64:x00" "-r%char4%:x00:x00" %setupldr%
really safe?
I ask this because of what it says here:
http://www.msfn.org/board/solution-multibo...004-t58410.html
"Do not replace all occurrences of "amd64" since some of them refer to a section of txtsetup.sif"

When I compare the two setupldr.bin files (the one in that post and the one generated by your gsar commands, the one from geitonaki has a lot more amd64 entries left in there..

Still not clear what to replace in setupldr.bin and what to leave as is... Can someone reassure me the gsar script here is correct for XP x64 SP2 setup?

Grub4dos is a multi boot loader.
Grub4dos was enhanced recently, 14th Nov 2009: http://nufans.net/grub4dos/tinybit/
Editing in RAM is possible now. Previous editing is not required anymore.

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

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

CODE
title Loading XP install - plain /I386/SETUPLDR.BIN
chainloader /I386/SETUPLDR.BIN

title Windows XP PRO 64 SP2 - multi boot
map --mem /XP64/I386/SETUPLDR.BIN (rd)
#checksum: geitonaki http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=58410
write --offset=0x2060 (rd)+1 \xEB\x1A
#cdob SetupSourcePath="\XP64\"; BootPath=\XP64\AMD64\  
#http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=&showtopic=126480&view=findpost&p=814566
cat --locate="\\i386\\ntdetect" --replace="\\XP64\\ntdetect.com" (rd)+1
cat --locate="amd64\\" --replace="XP64\\\x00" (rd)+1
cat --locate="AMD64\\" --replace="XP64\\\x00" (rd)+1
cat --locate="\\AMD64" --replace="\\XP64\x00" (rd)+1
cat --locate=I386 --replace=XP64 (rd)+1

That's great! As I understand it, I need mkisofs to create the iso like this:
CODE
mkisofs -R -b grldr -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -o grldr.iso iso_root

and I read a lot about different versions of mkisofs, is there any version specifically fitting for XP x64 that you are aware of?

QUOTE (cdob)
CODE
title Windows XP PRO 64 SP2 - multi boot
map --mem /XP64/I386/SETUPLDR.BIN (rd)
OK, this is loading the unaltered setupldr.bin location; How would grub4dos work together with your layout as described above in Post #2? I assume nothing changes, except for the setupldr.bin being under /I386/ which needs to be hexedited still, correct?

Try at any mkisofs version you can find: mk_XP64.cmd
CODE
mkisofs -iso-level 3 -N -D -d -relaxed-filenames -allow-multidot -joliet-long ^
-r -b grldr -hide boot.catalog -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 ^
-o XP64.iso -o XP64.iso iso_root

Yes, /XP64/I386/SETUPLDR.BIN is the original file.

Just to be sure, you mean:
CODE

chainloader /XP64/I386/SETUPLDR.BIN
in your layout, correct?

And
.\XP64\WIN51
.\XP64\WIN51AP
.\XP64\WIN51AP.SP2
.\XP64\NTDETECT.COM
.\XP64\TXTSETUP.SIF
should all still stay there?

Setupldr.bin location doesn't matter at grub4dos. Load the appropiate file.

The edited Setupldr.bin was at /XP64/SETUPLDR.BIN.
If you like this one, chainload this one.

If you like to use another one, chainload the another one.
The original one was at /XP64/I386/SETUPLDR.BIN
Use grub4dos to change this file in RAM.

Keep all files as described previously, there is no change.

LOL, hexediting it in memory is a neat and cool option, but somehow I'd rather do the hex-editing beforehand.

Thanks for all the hints. Should all work now.
