Just Do It!
We have learnt the Multi-Bootable theories behind the N-in-1 CD, let us put it to work on our 2in1:
1. Copy the following stuffs which you have downloaded earlier to the sourceroot (E:CORP2IN1_EN): loader.bin, diskem1x.bin, diskemu.cmd, deload.bin and the uncompressed WPRO folder.
2. Make a Professional Boot-Sector WPROSECT.DAT pointing to the WPRO folder: In sourceroot, copy boot.bin WPROSECT.DAT; Turn off the READ-ONLY Attribute; Edit WPROSECT.DAT (with UltraEdit or something alike), replace "I386" with "WPRO".
3. Edit (or check) the 3 files in the WPRO foler: The WPRO folder which you got from download has been edited correctly on SETUPREG.HIV (with full retail Professional ID), SETUPLDR.BIN (4 "I386" entries replaced with "WPRO")& TXTSETUP.SIF (setupsourcepath=""). Double check on them.
4. Make a Home Edition Boot-Sector WPERSECT.DAT pointing to the WPER folder: In sourceroot, copy boot.bin WPERSECT.DAT; Turn off the READ-ONLY Attribute; Edit WPERSECT.DAT (with UltraEdit or something alike), replace "I386" with "WPER".
5. In sourceroot, Creating the [b}WPER[/b] folder by copying the WPRO folder.
6. Copying the 3 files (setupreg.hiv, setupldr.bin, txtsetup.sif) from the i386 folder of Home Edition (E:CORP2IN1_ENWXHVOL_ENi386) to the WPER folder (E:CORP2IN1_ENWPER). Overwriting those existings.
7. Turn off the READ-ONLY Attribute; Edit (or check) the 3 files in the WPER foler: SETUPREG.HIV (with full retail Professional ID), SETUPLDR.BIN (4 "I386" entries replaced with "WPER")& TXTSETUP.SIF (setupsourcepath="WXHVOL_EN"). Double check on them.
8. Now open the file diskemu.cmd with a text editor, try to understand its contents or change the wordings of the menu-section to whatever you like. Close it after it is done.
9. Delete the previous 2in1 ISO (E:CORP2IN1.ISO) to free up hard-drive space.
10. In DOS Window, Enter the following command to create a Multi-Bootable 2in1 ISO with loader.bin as the Boot-Image:
cdimage -lCORP2IN1_EN -t08/23/2001,12:00:00 -bE:CORP2IN1_ENloader.bin -h -n -m -o E:CORP2IN1_EN E:CORP2IN1.ISO
11. In about 5 minutes, we can enjoy what we have just cooked: The generated CORP2IN1.ISO is a CD-Image contains the DevilsOwn (i386 folder located under of the CD) and the Home Edition (i386 folder under WXHVOL_EN of the CD). The CD is multi-bootable to to a menu from which we can select to setup either DevilsOwn or Home Edition. If you insert the CD under Win32, it will autorun the setup.exe of the DevilsOwn (setup.exe)
We are very close to the finishing touch of this thread. The only thing I have not talked about is the Autorun Menu. I have not yet decided how to present this part because the one I used in my N-in-1 is too complicated to use. On the other hand, it is not free to distribute. I am awaiting your input of comments, questions, suggestion and creative idea...
