Ph4nt0m's Multi-Boot Project - Tutorial

Project Phase – v1 Beta – Adding MRI to Project

Right well this is quite a long tutorial and should by the end of it leave you will a fully functional Geek Squad MRI that you can build on and also be able to fully boot from a USB Pen drive, mobile phone memory card etc

The idea is to have a fully functional MRI that can also have other utilities/boot disks added to it and work from disc or usb equally well.

For this project I have used the 5.1.1.0 version of MRI, the last public release because I don't have V.I.P access to get the latest version though this tutorial should work fine from what I've seen of the latest release it no longer has Acronis products as an option? Good news, you can add it back in

You will need -

UltraISO – Full version (run a torrent search for UltraISO Premium Edition v9.3.6.2760 or buy it, I recommend buying it. Only needed if you want to burn the project to a disc. If you only want to use a USB drive then you don't need this)

Syslinux-3.86 - http://www.mediafire.com/file/0yxutnmozmm/syslinux-3.86.zip (to get it quick or google)

Acronis Boot ISO -
http://www.mediafire.com/file/nvy4giryjnm/Acronisiso.part1.rar
http://www.mediafire.com/file/domnq3hok4y/Acronisiso.part2.rar (Optional if using a later version than MRI 5.1.1.0 or if you don't really need it)

Optional -

USB Format Tool - http://www.mediafire.com/file/jfokgyfyz4g/usb_format.zip (if you want to boot from USB Pen Drive)

Base file pack - http://www.mediafire.com/file/mzzywejtmot/Base File Pack.rar (gives you all the files you need, just copy them over to the folders as required)

To start you will need to extract your MRI iso to a subfolder for example : MRI-5.1.1.0-Ph4nt0m-SX

Next extract syslinux-3.86 and copy (use the search function to find them, much easier) -

isolinux.bin
chain.c32
menu.c32
reboot.c32
vesamenu.c32
memdisk

to the root of your MRI-5.1.1.0-Ph4nt0m-SX folder.

Next create a folder in the root of your MRI-5.1.1.0-Ph4nt0m-SX folder and call it MRI, copy these files from the EZBOOT folder into the MRI folder -

DBAN.IMA
DISCWZ10.IMA
DLGDV415.IMA
DLGDV504.IMA
DLGTV11.IMA
GSDIAG.IMA
GSHD.IMA
GSMEM.IMA
GSMEMALL.IMA
MAXBLST4.IMA
PCCHECK.IMA
PM.IMA
PWRMAX40.IMA
PWRMAX42.IMA
SEATOOL1.IMA
SEATOOL3.IMA
STDOS.IMA
WMDIAG.IMA
DFT.IMG
DFT_NM.IMG
MEMTEST.IMG
MEMTESTP.IMG

(I have listed them individually because I don't know if they are the same in later versions of MRI but its basically all the .IMA and .IMG files)

If you are adding Acronis then copy the acronis.iso into your MRI folder also.

Update, do not create MENUS folder but instead create these files in the MRI folder alongside the above files -

Create hdddia.cfg, open and paste the following -

Next you need to delete the folder called EZBOOT from your MRI-5.1.1.0-Ph4nt0m-SX folder and rename the ISOLINUX folder to Ntpwd.

Create a file called isolinux.cfg on the root of your MRI-5.1.1.0-Ph4nt0m-SX folder and paste the following into it -

default vesamenu.c32
prompt 0

All you need now is the background images either available in the base files pack download link above or here -

ph4nt0m.jpg - http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=duzr1cvmmhn
geeksq.jpg - http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=wjdemt2uyn4

or you can create your own by using any .jpg picture and setting it to 8 bit, RGB and sizing it to 640x480. For main menu call it ph4nt0m.jpg and for the Geek Squad menu call it geeksq.jpg

Thats it for the file altering so now open UltraISO and drag all the files and folders from your MRI-5.1.1.0-Ph4nt0m-SX folder into a new image window.

Select the isolinux.bin file and set as boot file (little blue cog icon at the top of the file window).

The disc type should change from 'Date CD/DVD' to 'Bootable CD/DVD'.

Save your image, name it something obvious like MRI-5.1.1.0-Ph4nt0m-SX.iso so you can easily find it.

Burn your image to DVD (or CD if you left out the acronis.iso), all done

Unless you want to use a USB instead of a DVD/CD in which case skip the above step with UltraISO and instead do the following.

Extract USB Format tool and format your USB to Fat 32.

Open a command prompt and navigate to your syslinux-3.86/win32 folder then type – syslinux f:
(where f is the letter of your USB)

(If you are having problems with the above step then download this reg file - http://www.mediafire.com/?d0jkzzjk0f1 which will add the cmd prompt to your right click, then just navigate to syslinux-3.86 and right click on the win32 folder, select cmd prompt and then type syslinux 'your usb drive letter': )

Copy all the files from your MRI-5.1.1.0-Ph4nt0m-SX folder to the root of your USB.

Rename isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg.

Go into your MRI folder and open mri.cfg, scroll down to the bottom and change this entry from -

#
#Return To Main Menu
label <==Return To Main Menu
kernel vesamenu.c32
APPEND /isolinux.cfg
#

#
#Return To Main Menu
label <==Return To Main Menu
kernel vesamenu.c32
APPEND /syslinux.cfg
#

Reboot your system to the USB drive and enjoy full access to MRI

This project is in beta and I havn't fully tested everything yet so if you find any bugs or problems, let me know and I'll sort them
