Four steps to easily extract Win2003 system startup group

Win2003 has been accepted by users in the system world for stability and security. As a veteran system, it has a large customer base. So today we will introduce you how to extract the startup group when installing Win2003 system. The steps are very simple. Let's take a look at it!

1. Put your Windows2003 installation CD into the CD-ROM drive (or Copy it to a directory on your hard drive.

Then type x:\\i386\\winnt32.exe /noreboot in "Run".

where x: is the CD-ROM drive where your Windows installation CD is located. The installer will then prompt you to select "New installation" or "Upgrade installation".

Note: Be sure to select "New installation", and in the next "Install Options" screen, press "" Further Options" and " I want to copy the installation files on all CDs " has been ticked. After the installer is finished, it will not restart your computer for installation (because you previously selected the /noreboot parameter).

At this point, there will be 2 folders in the root directory of your computer's C drive:

C:\\$ WIN_NT$.~ LS

C :\\$ WIN_NT$.~ BT

C:\\$ WIN_NT$.~ BT is the floppy boot group you need.

The above operation is best done in the virtual machine before operation. Make a snapshot, and then directly restore it, otherwise you need to modify the boot file

2. Save all the files in the startup group to a folder

Use UltraEdit32 or other binary editing tools Change all "i386" in the setupldr.bin file in the startup group to the name of the startup group folder

If it is a patched installation disk, you need to use UltraEdit32 to set 0x2060 in setupldr.bin. Change "74 03" to "EB 1A"

3. Change i386 in the w2ksect.bin boot file to the name of the startup group folder

4. Modify txtsetup. The content of

“SetupSourcePath = "\\"” in the sif file is the directory where i386 is located, the default is root Directory

The path in the setupldr.bin file tells the installer to simulate the location of the floppy disk;

The path in the txtsetup.sif file tells the installer where to copy all the installation files, Matches the directory structure. The path name after the equal sign must be added with the "" number.
