Download as DOC, PDF1 like620 views
This document provides instructions to create a multi-boot DVD that contains installation files for Windows 98, ME, NT 4.0, 2000, XP, and 2003. It describes extracting boot files from each OS installation disc, combining them into a single ISO file, modifying files to allow booting from the DVD, and creating a multi-boot image file to provide a boot menu at startup to select the desired OS installation. The final steps are to apply the multi-boot image to the ISO and burn the combined files to a DVD.
