Deal all,

Hi. I'm a new user of isolinux. And I 'm trying to boot a WinXP
installation CD with it. I extracted the bootsect, and place it into
the same folder together with isolinux.bin. Here's a section of my
isolinux.cfg:
...
label winxp
  kernel xpsect.bin
...

The boot splash showed fine. Unfortunately when I tried to boot it, I
got the following:

ISOLINUX 3.11 2005-09-02  Copyright (C) 1994-2005 H. Peter Anvin
isolinux: Starting up, DL = EF
isolinux: Loaded spec packet OK, drive = EF
isolinux: Loading main image from LBA = 0000728B
isolinux: Sectors to load = 0005
isolinux: Loaded boot image, verifying...
isolinux: Image checksum error, sorry...

Boot failed: press a key to retry...

Does anybody know what is wrong with it?  Please kindly help. I'm
really pissed of by that.
