Using the MS DaRT ISOs, I have created a multiboot DVD which, at least on one PC, successfully loads ERD 5.0 (WinXPsp3), ERD 6.0 (Visat sp2 x86) and ERD 6.5 (Win7 sp1 x86) for the OSs indicated in brackets.

For ERD 6 and 6.5, in EasyBoot I was simply able to "run ERD6x86.iso" for example. But when I tried "run ERD5.iso", on the multiboot DVD it starts to load then BSODd. Needless to say, the single boot ERD 5.0 CD boots OK.

Used Balder's EasyBoot-ISO and set ERD 5 to load in RAM, then ran the resultant ERD5.img instead of ERD5.iso in EasyBoot - then ERD 5 multibooted OK.

Am wondering why one can't simply run ERD5.iso in EasyBoot as you can for ERD6.0 and 6.5?

Wellcome to EasyBoot @EasyUser7 :)

Basically the difference between launch WinPE_NT5-system (typically created from source off WinXP\server-2003 or similar) and launch WinPE_NT6-system (typically created from source off Vista\Win7\Win8\Server-2008 or similar) is that a WinPE_NT6-system is loaded to RAM before executing (you can notice in the beginning how the WinPE is 'loading up' to RAM)!
A WinPE_NT5-system run directly from the 'hard coded' files, but cannot mount any driver needed to proceed :O

To solve this you can use 'firadisk' and RAM-loading. Hereby files and drives is found and can be mounted correctly.
As close I can described the different process above... :cool:

Happy you made it work at once anyway - impressing is the word :;):
