I'm currently trying to add dban version 226 to my boot cd.  I've followed the instructions about extracting the iso file contents to the ezboot directory using ultraISO then choosing bootable / Save
Boot File in the same directory.  I also read a lot about using the bootinfotable;run dban.bif command if your loading an isolinux.bin file, but i'm still receiving this error.  ---ISOLINUX 4.00 4.00-pre46 ETCDisolinux: Image checksum error, sorry...
Boot failed: press a key to retry...---

The files in teh dban iso are
ABOUT.TXT
DBAN.BZI
ISOLINUX.BIN
ISOLINUX.CFG
QUICK.TXT
RAID.TXT
WARNING.TXT

I'm using UltraISO 9.3.6.2750

Has anyone got this to work yet?

Update: I downloaded version 1.07 and it seems to work fine.  Has anyone got ver 226 to work yet?

Yes it works here via mobalive.  Just download the Winbuilder scripts by Balder and its under easyboot-iso.  The command to load it is: memdisk dban.img.gz if you used DBAN as the iso name

note: the iso contents stay intact and are not extracted to disk 1

No problem.  Try these steps and if you get confused write back

1. download winbuilder scripts by Balder < Here >
2. open winbuilder, on left expand easyboot, and select easyboot-iso
3. on right: under "main process" set the new name to the iso.  I call it DBAN (use all caps!)
4. Hit the start button and navigate to your dban iso file (you should place it in C: or whatever your root directory is.  NOT on the desktop or any subfolder related path
5. The script will most likely tell you to use "memdisk dban.img.gz" in your easyboot menu
6. open your .ezb menu and put the "memdisk dban.img.gz" under the menu tab where it says "command:"

just note that some antivirus (i have eset) will detect TSR.BOOT virus when you run the script. Its just a false positive.

ok  I did end up getting dban to run but i had to revert to an older version.  I am having another issue with pc doctor but i will post another  question in the forum.

Thanks
