Hiren used to have an interesting disk, with tools to dissect/change and re-create another ISO or USB bootable disk. Best look into ISOLinux/SysLinux and the like. The folk on this site generally dont know much about such things, 'everyone knows XP cannot be booted from read only media', I had to intercede and put them right that it can and isīootable from CD or DVD or write protected SDCARD. Last time I recall someone asking such questions he was barracked because If you are not trying to eg make a W2K/XP style bootableĭisk (I dont know off hand what eg W7 or W8 use), and you are instead looking to eg boot a live CD eg Live XP or whatever, See External Links via above Wikipedia link for specs.ĭont know if it's one of the places you've tried, but now apparently Reboot.pro ĮDIT: something from years ago, related to Nero.Ĭreate a BOOTable ISO file using the BOOTSECT.BIN file as theĮl-torito no-emulation boot sector, & in Nero, tick the:-ĭO NOT ADD THE ' 1' ISO FILE VERSION EXTENSION.ĮDIT: All of the above relates the the file that Wilbert linked. In an x-in-1 style setup disk, a different version/edited of the BOOTSECT.BIN is called via some otherīoot loader, depending upon user selected OS to install (chain loaded, read into memory and jump to TxtSetup.sif is also edited in some way connected with multi-setup disks. The 4 chacter 'I386' in BOOTSECT.BIN (Hex/Ascii editor) is sometimes edited to makeĪn x-in-1 style multiple OS setup disk, the 4 char text gives a differentĭirectory to the I386 where there is an alternate SETUPLDR.BIN (also edited if I remember correctly). OS, he does not want to bother having to agree again).

(eg when a user has already elected to install a specific version

SETUPLDR.BIN instead to start the OS setup routine.īOOTFIX.BIN sometimes deleted/renamed on alternate setup disks to remove the If BOOTFIX.BIN not found in I386 then will directly call Will ask 'Press and key to boot from CD' and if key not pressed will boot to hard drive Looks for BOOTFIX.BIN in I386 directory and calls it if there (BOOTFIX.BIN Sometimes goes by the name BOOTSECT.BIN (if found as a file), found as 2K boot sector on eg W2K/XP setup disks. Bit rusty on this but here's what I remember.
