Have a look at the 911cd forums. I wrote the initial thread on RAM booting WinPE. To answer to question... memdisk won't work with Windows. Windows uses 32bit access (direct HW access) and memdisk relies on the BIOS. Any programs that don't use the BIOS disk interfaces will not work. The other problem is the allocation of memory. Windows doesn't respect the memdisk allocation.

So I've been playing with this for hours and still unable to get everything working properly. In short I'm trying to boot an ISO image created by BartPE over pxelinux. When I attempt to do this it goes directly to a blank screen that just has a blinking cursor. Here's what my setup looks like: pebuilder.iso - the ISO file created from BartPE using WinXP SP2 CD as source but with

Hey list, I have an older 2005 Uniwill 259ia3 with a Phoenix bios. Flash booting is limited to keys 512 MB or less! Here's my setup recipe: used the HP utility v. 2.0.6 giving me this geometry ---------------- fdisk -l ----------- Disk /dev/sdb: 493 MB, 493879296 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start

I apologize if this is the wrong place to be asking this, but I'm pretty much out of options on where to go. I'm using the pxelinux version of tftp. Everything has worked well up to this point, however I've been trying to impliment a pxe bartpe solution in our office. Unfortunatly tftp is not passing the files correctly to the client. Here's the rundown. Server client connects to

Can someone point me to instructions on booting BartPE with pxelinux.0 over the network. Thanks.

Is it possible to chain isolinux and memdisk over pxelinux? If it's possible, I'd like to boot a CD Image over the network. I've been using pxelinux to boot ltsp for years, and recently upgraded to take advantage of memdisk for booting a DOS hd-image. Ideally I'd be able to boot a CD-Image. Thoughts? -- <:3)~ Michael T.

I'm trying to boot bartpe from gpxelinux I'm using gpxelinux and memdisk. my pxelinux.cfg/default looks as follows LABEL bartpe kernel memdisk initrd http://<path to iso> append iso raw Both of these I think I have working correctly. So my question I guess is for people that may have done this? Anyways I see the bartpe load screen then the xp load screen and then it blue

Hello, Can I load setupldr.bin directly using isolinux without original CD boot sector? Thanks, Theewara

I'm trying to boot multiple ISO files with pxelinux. Booting a single ISO file works, but if I put them in different sub directories it no longer works. I'm using the windows2003 sp1 trick to load my iso's (bartpe, winpe, erd commander, etc) pxelinux.0 gives me a menu: PROMPT 1 DEFAULT hdd TIMEOUT 100 DISPLAY PXE.MSG LABEL hdd LOCALBOOT 0 LABEL bartpe KERNEL

I am using the following simple menu and have noticed that items at the bottom are dropping off. I seem to be limited to 12 items. Is there a limit to how many items can be on the simple menu? default pxelinux.cfg/menu.c32 prompt 0 MENU TITLE UWSP PXE Boot Menu # TIMEOUT 200 LABEL bartpe MENU LABEL Build 12 KERNEL /STARTROM.0 APPEND keeppxe LABEL 11dnet MENU LABEL Build 11DNET beta

Turns out that I did not have a corrupted ISO file and tftp-hpa is not at fault. I had saved the winnt.sif file in a unix format and for reasons that are not clear this was producing the error message telling me txtsetup.sif is missing or corrupt. One would think the parsing of the file would cause the inability to locate the ISO file to be downloaded since that information is the last line in the

Hi, I've read in some post in your mailing list there is a special version of startrom.0 which is possibile to load remote bart oe by xpe. Can you provide me it or teach me how to create my own one? Thanks in advance

I just encountered my only bug w/ the ISOLINUX+VESAMENU combination from 3.52-pre5. Updated a *working* CD project w/ the new ISOLINUX+VESAMENU combo just last week. Booting my preferred Linux distro (Slax-6) from my custom CDs work perfectly, however when I updated a CD project that includes BartPE/WinPE, BartPE fails to boot w/ 'CDBoot can not boot CD: error 4" msg. For the

I read the mailing list archive about Gigabyte motherboards not working with USB booting ("[syslinux] Gigabyte recent bios & syslinux extlinux trow USB-IDE bridges or pendrives", 16 Aug 2006). I have a Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-DS4H motherboard that I tried to boot in USB-HDD mode with a PNY boot pen. I installed System Rescue CD on it. It would appear that Gigabyte still doesn't

Thanks Nazo, for that amazing long answer. The problem is, though, that you're talking to an _XP user_, so I can't: "Just use dd with if=/dev/sda" because that's Dutch to me. I even had trouble understanding what a "distro" was, till I looked it up. And I can't run "mkdiskimage", because it doesn't run under XP. Also, according to

We rarely use M$ Windows, but I let my daughter surf pbskids.org while using Windows and a Trojan Horse modified or deleted the user32.dll file. I found the instructions on the Microsoft Support web site, and it would be very easy for me to expand a new copy of user32.dll if I could get the MS WinXP CD to work. It boots OK, I press a key so it will search hardware and it then has hard drive

I am trying to download a 200MB ISO file and each time I attempt to do so it will timeout after around 30 MB. I've used both a Microsoft and a FreeBSD tftp client with the same results. When PXE booting a pc and letting it download the ISO it either hangs halfway through or the ISO appears to be corrupted when trying to boot to it from ramdisk. I am looking for suggestions on how to

Hello, many of our platforms do not have a integrated floppy, some even don''t have a floppy controller. As pxelinux still has a problem with machines without a floppy in combination with some bios versions I need to chainload a different bootstrap loader which works on the floppyless platforms. But I also need to load a BartPE and the other BS loader does not support that. So I tried to

Hi guys, im looking for method booting winpe2.0 or bartpe directly from a directory into ram. Currently im booting from iso images, and its working really good, but since im modify alot, its a hassle to create a new iso everytime, making it bootable....etc. So if anyone might can help me, i would really appreciate it Thx in advance..

I am trying to create a DVD with ISOLinux as the bootloader to allow my users to select to install either Linux or Windows. Having read the article http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2002-October/001135.html i am left in a bit of a confused state as it sort of half explains things. All i think i need to know is: 1. What files are needed to boot windows? 2. Where do i have to place the
