Use MULTI_CONTENT Folder only with FAT Format USB-Drive

for Support of Direct Booting with MS-DOS from boot.ini Menu

Use X_CONTENT Source Folder for making NTFS or FAT Format USB-Drive
with Support of Booting from DOS Floppy Images via GRUB4DOS Menu

===================================================================================
======================

A. Essential Files to be Added to MULTI_CONTENT Folder:

Direct Booting with MS-DOS from boot.ini Menu requires:

IO.SYS
MSDOS.SYS

Folder DOS:
COMMAND.COM

From Win98 MS-DOS BootFloppy Copy the files IO.SYS and MSDOS.SYS and COMMAND.COM to
your MULTI_CONTENT Folder.
These Hidden System Files are only visible in Windows Explorer after adjusting
Tools > Folder Options

Run USB_MultiBoot.cmd and choose FAT Format with PeToUSB (max 2GB stick) and
Select Multi_boot.ini as boot.ini (option B ) and MULTI_CONTENT as Source (option
2) in the Main Menu.
The supplied config.sys of the MULTI_CONTENT folder regulates that for MS-DOS
the COMMAND.COM is found in the DOS folder so that confusion with FREEDOS is
prevented.

Direct Booting with FREEDOS from USB was Removed since there were too few cases
successful.

Not all options are available on all USB-Drive Devices. So you can edit boot.ini to
your needs.
Booting from MS-DOS is not available on 4 GB Apacer HT203, whereas 1 and 2 GB
sticks are OK.
A lot of FREEDOS Bootsectors don't work and even the supplied FREEDOS Bootcode
only works on some USB-sticks and not on USB-Harddisk.

For FAT32 and NTFS Format Windows PE 2.0 MS-DOS and FREEDOS will not boot from
boot.ini Menu
Instead Use GRUB4DOS Menu for booting with DOS Floppy Images + Windows PE 2.0 and
Install of Vista

Edit the Menu Files boot.ini menu.lst (GRUB4DOS-Menu) and menu.txt + syslinux.cfg
(SYSLINUX-Menu)
to your needs for Available Boot Options.

Windows PE 2.0 is included in the Windows Automated Installation Kit WAIK

- Download WAIK (about 1 GB)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=C7D4BC6D-15F3-4284-9123-
679830D629F2&displaylang=en

- Follow the instructions in the WAIK guide to create PE 2.0 files (folder ISO is
about 185 MB)
- Copy the contents of the "ISO" folder created in the proceding step to the root
of your USB stick
- You may Add imagex.exe for Imaging Purposes

In Command Window Create PE 2.0 and copy imagex.exe Using:

copype.cmd x86 c:\winpe_x86
copy �c:\program files\Windows AIK\Tools\x86\imagex.exe� c:\winpe_x86\iso\

Using Imagex.exe after Booting from Windows PE 2.0:

Image Backup:
imagex.exe /compress fast /capture c: d:\WIM_XP\xpimage.wim "mijn XP-
installatie" /verify

Image Restore:
imagex.exe /apply d:\WIM_XP\xpimage.wim 1 c:
