I just created a minimal LiveXP iso from XP SP3 using "Complete recovery build with advanced tools" at "LiveXP with BootSDI".
I then realised I do not have and blank CDs, but was very eager to test it. I saw the post at link which says this works :
CODE
title LiveXP_ISO.iso - mem
find --set-root /LIVEXP_ISO.ISO
map --mem /LIVEXP_ISO.ISO (hd32)
map --hook
chainloader (hd32)
find --set-root /LIVEXP_ISO.ISO
map --mem /LIVEXP_ISO.ISO (hd32)
map --hook
chainloader (hd32)
So I just added those lines to the menu.lst file I have on my ( g4d mbr ) HDD. I put the iso in the same directory. When I choose the option to boot LiveXP, XP starts booting but then I get a BSOD. I assumed since the iso is loaded to memory, it won't matter whether it is loaded from CD or HDD.
Which got me wondering if the LiveXP iso can only be loaded from a CD. That is, the menu.lst file & iso file have to be on a CD ( and not on a HDD ). True ?
Also, I have never created a Live XP CD before. I was surprised that the iso was created without asking for the XP serial. This OK ?
