[syslinux] OFF TOPIC: Chainloading CD-ROM boot after ISOLINUX + MEMDISK.

Hm.

If I understand correctly you:

- Are physically booting from CD-ROM (hence using ISOLINUX);
- The data you want to boot is also on the CD-ROM (your Windows
   install);
- However, you need a MEMDISK installed (but not booted from.)

Is that a correct summary?

It seems that the new chain.c32 stuff to load NTLDR directly might have 
been helpful, except for the slight complication that chainloading it 
from MEMDISK is currently not supported.

Let me know if I understood the situation right, and I'll think about it 
for a bit.
