I have tackled a major bug that affected sdi.c32 especially, but might at least theoretically have affected other formats as well. It *appears* to load the SDI image I managed to stitch together with XP Embedded Studio, but it doesn't actually boot neither on my system nor in simulation; then trying to upgrade it to SP2 caused it to corrupt itself, so I'm not all that keen to trying to make that bit actually work. Help with testing would *really* be appreciated at this point... -hpa
The sdi.asm module was written by R?mi Lef?vre. I will try to contact him to see if he has a prebuilt sdi file. I?m more interested in booting Vista via SDI, and currently there is not a Vista Embedded toolkit yet, so technically it?s not supported by Microsoft. I created a winpe.sdi using the unmodified Windows AIK boot.sdi and winpe.wim files and merged them using: copy /b boot.sdi + winpe.wim winpe.sdi This did not load with either your sdi.c32 or R?mi Lef?vre's , but it did work when I replaced the \RemoteInstall\Boot\boot.sdi with winpe.sdi, and it did load the generic WinPE instead of my customized WDS boot image. This may be a mute point if gPXELinux is able to chain load wdsnbp.com. Does anybody have gPXELinux loading wdsnbp.com of pxeboot.com? "H.

I have an image that seems to work, gets to Booting... and does nothing. I will see if I can compile the new version and give it a go. On a side note, It appears grub4dos has support for loading sdi files. I am currently looking at that to see if I can get my file working with it. I say it appears, because so far there is very little information about it. The information I see, is that it is only mentioned in the command help output for chainload. I am hoping I can figure out grub quickly and post a success, otherwise I have no idea if this file is setup correctly. Using it in the fashion I am used to requires external files, and does seem to work correctly. -Andrew
I should also mention I am in the process of setting up a test server, so that I can setup the m$ ris and try loading their way to see if I can rule out the file that way. -A

I will not be able to give time to trying to get a working sdi image. I apologize. -Andrew
