Re: bootable CD for diskless systems (XPe)

Hi Slobodan,

Something is really disturbing me . I dont understand these things. Can u
please make them clear to me.

1)I create my run time image added EI-Torito and did auto-resolve.Then
placed this image in prefba CD.Then i placed the image on my target device
1st partition.Then when i run the FBA for the first time run cmd and these
three commands

c:\ewfmgr

c:\ewfmgr C:\

c:\etprep /all

But in ur link i saw u were using different commands and sometimes u wrote
about registry keys.Why have you used different commands and registry editor?
Is it necessary to do so?

2)In ur link i saw

NERO usage for El-torito CD creation.
1. Select Make Bootable Disk option.
2. Select Bootable logical drive option, and select volume with XPe that you
want to record on El-torito part of CD.
3. Go to next step. (Press New.)
4. Add files that you want to have on your CD.
5. Select recorder->Choose Recorder
6. Select Device "Image Recorder" and press OK.
7. Choose Burn option and then name file that will receive CD image.
8. Use HEX editor and find MBR sector placed by Nero. Go to 1B8 location
(relative offset from MBR) and type 'ELTO' DiskID on that
position of hex representation depending on hex editor. You can make a
simple app that will change this number if you need to
frequently burn new images.
9. From NERO. Choose option Burn image to Disk.
10. Choose image file.
11. Change back to real recording device driver so you can burn image on CD
instead to image again.
12. Burn image.


when i opened Nero,selected recoder,image record and then pressed ok.After
this step it ask me for ISO image. Do i need to make one ISO and then use
NERO to just burn it??

Sorry for troubling you so much actually i am in my initial stages and donot
have much idea abou these things.

Thanks for your time.
