Dear everybody who reads this.

Seems like I've got a little problem.

I created a few menu-options in Easyboot v5.01 including some sub-menu's. All these files including the needed .img files for booting Partition Magic, Disk Manager, Memtest etc. are placed in the disk1\EZBOOT directory.

Then I tell the program to MAKE ISO.

After that it requires the CD File DIR. here I point to DISK1
it also requires a Boot image (This is where I go wrong) (Let me rephraze: This is where I think something goes wrong, this is the point where something I do is incorrect but I don't know what). I pointed this to a dead-ordinary windows 98 boot disk. This didn't work. I also tried pointing to loader.bin because the FAQ says that loader.bin will load the menu so i thought I had to try it.

After the ISO is created I use Nero Burning Rom 6.3.something to burn it. After that I try to boot from the disk and it boots my dead-ordinary windows 98 boot disk (From CD, yes) but does not load the Easyboot menu. How do I correct this problem?

Thnx in advance.

make an image of the bootdisk (What bootdisk do you mean with this?) and point Easyboot to that image

I tried a win98 bootdisk

I've got an Idea.

Maybe by replacing jo.sys on the win98 bootdisk with loader.bin that might just work. Report in a few minutes..

Thnx for the help for now. But keep those comments coming please!

Seems I didn't try hard enough.

It works.

Only problem I have now is that it doesn't respond to my keyboard.

That's next to be solved!
