:: Windows Longhorn 4051 ::

Copying the CD Contents

Copy the SOURCES folder from the Longhorn cd into the AIO-DVD folder.

eg. - D:\AIO-DVD\SOURCES\

Renaming the CD Shell Folder

Longhorn has a seperate boot folder already on the cd. This makes things a little easier, except for the fact that it is named BOOT which is what the base folder for the new version of CD Shell is now called. So, we have to rename one of the folders. I've tried renaming the Longhorn boot folder and it is much more complex than I would like to deal with, so we are going to rename the CD Shell folder.

Rename the CD Shell folder from BOOT to CDSH.

Now copy the BOOT folder from the Longhorn cd into the AIO-DVD folder.

Editing "cdsh.bin"

In your new CDSH directory open up the file cdsh.bin in Hex Workshop. Under Edit -> Replace (Ctrl+H) search for Type: "Text String." We want to find /boot and replace it with /cdsh, as shown in the screenshot below.

Click OK and then choose Replace All. It should say "1 Occurrence Replaced." If it finds more than 1 occurrence, there may be a problem somewhere. When done, save the file and choose not to back it up.

Editing "loader.bin"

In your new CDSH directory open up the file loader.bin in Hex Workshop. Under Edit -> Replace (Ctrl+H) search for Type: "Text String." We want to find /boot and replace it with /cdsh, just as in the screenshot above.

Click OK and then choose Replace All. It should say "1 Occurrence Replaced." If it finds more than 1 occurrence, there may be a problem somewhere. When done, save the file and choose not to back it up.

Creating the Boot Sector

Now we will need to create the boot sector file that will actually load the text-mode setup for our operating system. Download the 4051.zip file. Extract the file and then open 4051.dat in Hex Workshop. Scroll down until you see the following text in the right hand side. The red text is what we will be replacing. Replace I386 with BOOT.

Save the file, choose not to back it up and then place it in the AIO-DVD folder.

Finishing Up

Copy the following files from the Longhorn cd to the AIO-DVD folder. Overwrite any previous files that are there if asked.
