Hello.

I am a newbie  :)

I am creating multiboot CDs using easyboot utility from a couple of years.

This time i am stuck with a problem.

My DVD Menu list contains.

1) Hiren Boot Disk 14  (OK)
2) Slax Linux Live (OK)
3) Acronis True Image & Disk Director Home 2011 (OK)
4) Active Recovery Disk (?)
5) Norton Ghost 15 (?)

No. 4 & 5 are based on Vista Live.  I am unable to used both at the same time due to duplicate files are conflicting with each other on a same location.SOURCES/BOOT.WIM

Active Recovery Disk & Norton Ghost both contains BOOT.WIM file which is a problem for me.

Is there a solution to this problem.

This is very easy to solve :D

Download my set of scripts (read carefully “READ_ME.html” in download :O
You have download below in every post I respond to in this forum.

Use “easyboot-iso.script” to integrate ISO-file and run ISO as it is (no need to extract anything anywhere).
Note: as these ISO-files are based on NT6-system (Vista, Win7 or server-2008) you don’t need to check “Run ISO from RAM”

It’s vital that you run Easyboot from the “root” (C:\) and that ISO-files do not have spaces in name (same to where you keep your ISO-files) best solution is to have files on the root or in a folder on the root (use folder name that do NOT have spaces in name).
All this is carefully described in “READ_ME.html” in download :;):

@ balder

I am glad to hear that you have made a solution for this problem.
I was curious why easyboot does not provide a documentation for this problem while a lot of people are searching for the same solution which you have made.

You should make a sticky topic based on my problem :)

I will try your script and give feedback to you.

Thanks for your support.

I need a little direction.

I'm trying to merge/combine both 32 and 64 bit of Windows 7 Repair isos using your method.

However, I do not actually understand the instructions.

I know that I am to open WinBuilder (the one supplied by your download.
I click on EasyBoot-ISO.
That's as far as I can figure out.

I have read the Readme with the download, also.
I just don't understand what to do in WinBuilder to make both 32 and 64 bits into a single iso to use for EasyBoot.

I would appreciate some help for a "special" minded person like me.

Thanks.

Simpel answer: you don’t :O
Script doesn’t merge different ISO-files – script launches each ISO-file separately :;):

It’s excellent that you obviously are able to “activate” easyboot-iso.script – so far so good  :)  
However if you push “Help-button” in script you get a full explanation :cool:
Anyway do it this way:

1. Put in a name in text-box “Set name to ISO-file here --->”. Let’s say you put in WIN7REPAIR32 (it’s vital that you use CAPS=BIG LETTERS in textbox to name for ISO-file)
2. You don’t need to check “Run ISO from RAM” as ISO-files you are using is based on a NT6-system (Vista\Win7\Server-2008)
3. Push on “Start button”
4. Script now asks for the location of wanted ISO-file to integrate into EasyBoot. You scroll to ISO and double-click to ISO-file (Win7repair32.ISO). Don't use spaces in name to original ISO-file or spaces to folder name where you keep your ISO-files!
5. You automatically get the menu command to use in EasyBoot (you can copy and paste menu command given by script directly into EasyBoot menu).

Now change name in “Set name to ISO-file here --->” to let’s say WIN7REPAIR64 and repeat the process – again you in the end get the right menu command by script to copy and paste into Easyboot menu.

That’s it!

Wow. I was actually expecting it to be somewhat difficult. All I had to do was continue what I originally thought. I am so use to things being difficult.
Thanks a lot!

He, he you seem to have the same “experience of life” as myself :;):
That’s why I constructed all these different scripts :O
Hopefully scripts are useful for somebody else but me :)

Keep it up@ThreeMemories :cool:
