Im trying to add a windows vista installer to my boot cd
everything but the vista installer is working.

this is how its set up and what happens

my command to install vista is "run installvista.iso"
the iso is in the main ezboot folder (/EZBOOT/installvista.iso)

it starts to load the disk fine and then when it would normally show the hard drive i want to install or format ect it has nothing listed and acts like it wants me to install drivers for it.

any idea what i need todo?
Im new to this so not really sure if i should try to run it as a iso or something else?

Welcome to EasyBoot @twsted636 :)

This won't work :O
You cannot launch setup of any Windows system this way from a ISO-file :O
This kind of ISO-files are 'hard-coded'
Note: this limitation is not related to EasyBoot - its related to the structure inside ISO-file (Windows setup system so to speaking)

However there are some solution to use ISO-file directly from USB drive
Read HERE


Note: when you have this working from USB drive, you are welcome back and I will try to give you a working solution how to launch this from a EasyBoot menu :;):
Also notice this only works from USB drive and absolutely NOT from DVD-unit :O

Okay nice you got it working alright :;):

But you don't need that ISO-file
In fact, its no point using any ISO-file at all ???

All you need is to use menu command:  run /bootmgr
(of course with all files and folders extracted from ISO-file to folder 'disk1) :cool:
