How to get a boot disk from Windows XP files
This is the result of an interesting topic started out by jaclaz regarding some "hidden" features embbebed on some windows XP/2003 files (not sure about win2000 yet..).
The source code below exemplifies a sample script that can be used to obtain a bootable DOS disk (based on windows millennium) from your local windows.
[main] Title=Extract boot disk Description=This script uses a special command that will search for a specific byte signature inside the files that match the specified wildcard (subdirs included). Once the first match is found, this command will extract the specified byte length to a new file - this is how this script will find our boot disk. Selected=True Level=4 Author=Boot Land community Contact=http://BootLand.pt.vu Credits=Thanks to jaclaz who started a very interesting topic, wich taught how to handle some of the hidden resources within system. Version=043 Locked=true Date=2006-07-05 [process] FileByteExtract,"%WindowsDir%\system32\diskcopy.dll","%targetdir%\bootdisk.img",EB3C902A2D76345649484300,1474560
You can find more detailed informations on the original topic here:

btw:
This is where we'll search for the code - if wildcards are used it will also search on subdirs..
%WindowsDir%\system32\diskcopy.dll
This is the resulting file if a match is found - after a match the command will stop searching for more matches.
%targetdir%\bootdisk.img
This is the byte signature wich is used to identify the start of the sample to extract
EB3C902A2D76345649484300
This is the exact size of a floppy image (the number of bytes to extract - including signature bytes)
1474560
This command is available on OB builds 043 and above,
Have fun!
