CD-RoM Booting.

[Ranga]

Dear all,

I have done the following steps to create a CD-RoM bootable image.

1. I create an slx file with the support for the following

CD-RoM Drive

EWF (RAM Overlay)

2. Now I built the image.

3. Copied the image into a Target hard disk.

4. Placed the hard disk and CD-RoM Drive in the Target System. I
allowed FBA to run.

Now what should i do to create a CD-RoM bootable image.

Are the steps done by me above correct?

Please help me in this regard.

Thanks in advance,
Ranga.

Hi Ranga,

You forgot to create El-torito CD and to put it in CD rom before FBA.
And probably el-torito driver is missing.

Regards,
Slobodan

Ranga,

I don't understand how to help you more here.
If you included El Torito support in your image (hope you also add
EnableAutoLayout registry value), then after your last step go to step#6
(Etprep) from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d.../xpehelp/html/xehowhowtoconfigureeltorito.asp.
