hello balder ,

I've been using "MiniToolŪ Partition Wizard Home Edition 7 (pwhe7) for some time already.

Now I download the version 7.5 and use menu command "run pwhe7.iso" , it success on VMWare and Easyboot DVD.

But when I boot it on my usb harddisk , an error message come out and stop :

U Default
U Timeout

When I change it back to pwhe7.0 instead of now pwhe7.5 ,  the same error message occur.

Please help , thanks

I have never seen or heard about this software :p  (take some time to make me know this software)
Anyway... I found several different ISO-files but used a ~40MB sized ISO-file that brings up the complete menu like the one showed (in my case version 7.0) < HERE >

I tested following method as I decided to use NTFS as files system and also used USB harddisk unit:

1. Used my script 'easyboot-iso.script' to integrate pwhe7.iso into EasyBoot
Note: don't tick 'Run ISO from RAM' as this isn't needed in this case - and please - download latest updated scripts (folder 'balder') to make sure ISO is correctly integrated into folder EZBOOT

2. Used my script 'easyboot-usb_v2.script' to integrate ISO created by EasyBoot (tick 'Joliet' when creating ISO)
Note: you can choose to not format USB drive, but make sure to use NTFS as files-system (I guess you are interested in NTFS)

3. I used my grub-kicker-image 'harddisk.img' in folder EZBOOT (copied from folder 'balder/USB_Resources' to folder EZBOOT) and used menu command:  run harddisk.img  to make sure I could start to Windows from my EasyBoot menu!

I didn't receive any error message :)
I tested from both USB harddrive as from USB stick (USB stick used FAT32)
In fact, I consider this software to be reliable and stabile in its manners ???

Note: from version 7.5 there are a separate section that provides 'run from USB drive' and I quote from homepage:

"From MiniTool Partition Wizard 7.5 , we provide an application called Bootable Media Builder for MiniTool Partition Wizard Professional Edition and other advanced versions. With it, you can create MiniTool Partition Wizard Bootable CD/DVD & Bootable Flash Drive."

You can do some experimental 'forensic' what method that is used there if my tutorial above doesn't work for you :cool:

This indicated there might be something strange with your harddisk drive ???

EDIT:
Found version 7.5 - tested and working from both USB harddrive as from USB stick!
