Creating a Multi-Boot CD

by karma1 . Updated 17 years, 2 months ago

Righty-oh…

Here’s what I would like to do. I want to create a CD that boots into different enviroments to install Windows OSs. Getting past the fact that I can’t remember enough to do the batch file. I want to be able to choose to boot between a 98SE/ME enviroment to install early versions of Windows (95/98/ME/NT4) and an enviroment to install the newer vers of Windows (2000/XP/2003 Server).

I know a standard 98SE or ME diskette will allow me to install everything up to NT4 (runs DOS and a generic CD Driver)… It’s the newer versions I’m wondering about. Since each of those programs (2000, XP, and 2003) all have their own boot methods.

I use Nero v6.6.0.1 which allows for making a Bootable CD. To be quite honest, I’m not too sure what I should be doing in there either… but I can cross that bridge when I get to it.

So, any ideas how I can get the multiple boot environments onto a CD and how I can select which to use at bootup?
