Hi,
i have problem with making live umultiboot dvd which should contain BartPE, ubcd and debian. Tryed a lot of guides, but none of them worked properly. Last thing i tryed is making easy-boot iso and easyboot grub iso (with balders winbuilder), but in both of them i get a blue screen when the BartPE (ubcd) is loading. Can sb help please: thanks

You can launch BartPe-ISO-file as it is (yes launch ISO-file created by BartPE) :;):

Use easyboot-iso.script to integrate your BartPE-ISO-file into Easyboot.
Note: make sure to check “Run ISO from RAM” in script.
You automatically receive the right menu command to use in easyboot menu by script (you can copy and paste text-command into Easyboot menu when message from script pops up in the end of process).

There is of course limits (practical limits) to how big your ISO-file (in this case BartPE-ISO) can be ???
This limit is:
1. If ISO is very large (500 MB or larger) it might take some time to load and finally launch ISO-file as ISO is loaded and run from RAM
2. You need at least 50% more RAM than size of ISO-file is (I guess this is no problem these days).

Another way is to extract folder i386 and “program”-folder related to BartPE to folder disk1 in easyboot.
Change name to folder i386 to a different 4-letters name – typically BART (or any 4-letters name of your own choice).
Note: name must be uppercased (CAPS) = BIG LETTERS.
Then use menu command in EasyBoot:  bcdw /bart/setupldr.bin
Attention! This method only works if you used WinXP as source when building BartPE.
It doesn’t work if you used server-2003 as source for build.
