Select CD-ROM Boot Type when installing Server 2008 64-bit with Hyper-V

Solution:

0 - create 3 folders c:\server2008iso c:\server2008exe c:\server2008dvd
1 - download this .exe file and put into c:\server2008exe
2 - put .iso you downloaded from ms into c:\server2008iso and unzip it
3 - move .iso file out of c:\server2008iso
4 -
open a dos prompt in c:\server2008exe and type:

oscdimg -n -m -bc:\server2008iso\boot\etfsboot.com c:\server2008iso c:\sever2008dvd\server2008dvd.iso

The server2008dvd.iso is the file you gonna burn onto a new DVD

Enjoy !

I am also trying to do this as well. I'm a bit confused about unzipping the .iso file.

I wasn't aware that yo ucould unzip an .iso file, or are you saying the file was zipped when downloaded so you needed to unzip to expose the .iso file? Thanks for you help.

Any more detailed instruction would be greatly beneficial. I have tried the instructions here: http://jowie.com/blog/post/2008/02/24/Select-CD-ROM-Boot-Type-prompt-while-trying-to-boot-from-Vista-x64-DVD-burnt-from-iso-file.aspx

But when I tried to boot from the DVD I got the following error:error 5, the disk is not bootable.

Now I am trying it your way.

You can unzip with 7-zip (open source) but it isn't always accurate. A better way for this tool, if you have already burned the disc and discovered the hard way that it doesn't work, is to do the following - assuming that D:\ is your DVD drive:

oscdimg.exe -n -m -bd:\boot\etfsboot.com d:\ c:\windows7x64.iso

As you can see, my example above was for Windows 7 x64, since I'm trying to get that installed on a Mac Mini, but you can call the iso file whatever you like. (It's the output, not the input. The input is a folder, or in this case, a DVD-ROM disc.) Note that you have to change the -bc: to -bd:, since the drive letter changes.

(Also note that I haven't yet tested this disc in my Mac Mini, but results should be identical to monkeying with the ISO and significantly easier than using ImgBurn as other guides suggest.)

Just tested my above ISO and it worked perfectly! Yay, no more "Select CD-ROM Boot Type" error messages. I'll do the same thing next on my Vista SP1 disc. Silly UEFI ...
