I'm tyring to make a bootCD based around the Avast! BART CD that also has the option to boot several floppy images. I can get the floppy images to work just find using loader.bin, but the only way I've gotten the Avast! BART CD to load is to use the w2ksect.bin but then the floppy images aren't available. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here, I've exacted the files from the bart.iso file to the c:\EasyBoot\disk1 directory using UltraISO and used UltraISO to create a bart.bif file in the c:\EasyBoot\disk1\ezboot directory and set that as the run option in the menu, but it always gives me a File Not Found error. Can someone throw me a bone here?

Okay, Martinx fixed this problem for me - turns out I had the wrong run command in the menu.
But now that it's booting I'm getting the following:
an avast! BART CD dialog box that pops up after avast! BART starts booting: 'Unable to launch main BART CD shell, aswShell.exe' I click on OK and it reboots the system. The image I extracted the avast! BART CD stuff from works fine, I'm thinking maybe I need to add add directory the aswShell.exe is in to the PATH or something like that? Anyone have any thoughts on this?

For BART-style bootable CD, please do it this way:
1) Make a single-boot CD first, make sure it works
2) Extract all files and folders to c:\easyboot\disk1 by UltraISO
3) Extract boot image from original ISO, save it as xxx.bif in c:\easyboot\disk1\ezboot
4) Use 'run xxx.bif' in menu item

Thanks, I got that much of it figured out (my original problem was I had the wrong file listed as the menu run item. My problem is now that while the single-boot CD ISO works fine, but one made with EasyBoot can't find BART's main shell file for some reason.

I just tested avast! Bart CD this way:
1) Generate an ISO
2) Open C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\BART\bart.iso by UltraISO 7.0 ME, extract all files and folders to c:\eastboot\disk1, and use menu 'Bootable"->"Save boot file" to save as c:\easyboot\disk1\ezboot\bart.bif
3) Make a menu item with 'run bart.bif' as command parameter
4) Make an ISO image and test with VMWare, it works.
PS:avast! Bart CD Version detail:
- program: 1.0.63
- vps: 0418-1
- setup: 1.0.63
