Sure, but can you please stop 'SHOUTING'
There are a lot of topics how to launch setup of WinXP from EasyBoot
Its a pretty good idea starting using 'Search' (in the upper right corner in this forum. Tip: choose to also search 'Older' topics for better results)
Anyway to solve WinXP test this:
1. Copy (or extract from ISO-file) everything (all files and folders to folder EasyBoot\disk1
2. Create menu entry and use menu command: run W2KSECT.BIN (check you have file W2KSECT.BIN in folder EZBOOT - it should be there)
3. Only tick 'Joliet' when creating ISO in EasyBoot.
---------------------------
Solution to bitdefender can be found in post nr; 13 < HERE >
---------------------------
The UBCD case can be a little bit tricky
Test given solution in post nr; 9 < HERE >
Don't forget to have 'Joliet' ticked when creating ISO in EasyBoot
---------------------------
Note: I found all this information (and a lot more) by simply use search and ticked both 'Older' as 'Newer' as search option in lower part of 'search window'

I have tried with the help of above information with easy boot. I have used the burn option write usb disk ...But Xp Professional SP3 setup is not booting and ends with a message ntldr not found. ubcd511 is working well. BitDefender.iso is loding but unfortunately ends with its loading screen means ends with its statup picture.
waiting for your expert advise thanks in advance. @rayees

@rayeesI quote from your initial first post: "WANT TO MAKE A MULTIBOOT ISO IMAGE"
You didn't mentioned USB approach at all, you wrote 'multiboot ISO'
Anyway... It is a huge difference to run setup of WinXP from USB comparing from CD \DVD-unit
Read post nr; 11 < HERE >
Note: It is recommended to use USB stick\thumb drive and not USB harddisk
When you have tested above you continue with following:
Follow accordingly my instructions from my post nr, 2 to integrate bitdefender and UBCD into EasyBoot (skipping the WinXP part as that already is on the USB stick at this point)
When you finally have created ISO in EasyBoot (and tested from some virtual PC or whatever), you copy the whole contents (all files and folders) that you have in folder disk1 in EasyBoot, to the root of USB stick (this can take some time).
Now test USB stick (run it from a 'real boot' to some computer)

I tested for a couple of minutes ago and it worked perfect.
Note: you can test using my script 'easyboot-iso.script' to integrate the ISO-file (reduced ISO-file) of bitdefender
Script is a little bit more 'power-full' when launching such ISO-file

Windows XP SP3 image is now working on USB Stick but unfortunately at the very end means when selecting drive to install xp sp 3 only the usb is listed there not my hard disk.

When run setup of WinXP from USB, setup seems to have problems to find all drivers (sata drivers etcetera)
Be aware that WinXP is getting 'old' comparing to computers of today
Another issue is if BIOS report correctly to the setup program when run from USB
WinSetupFromUSB 0-2-3 do some changes to the setup procedure - that might not fit to your computer
A kind of mismatch can pop up as this is setup from USB and not the original setup from CD-unit
However, it can be related to a hardware problem as well.
Is it possible for you to test to a different computer to see if it works from that machine
Note: You don't need to continue the setup, only test if harddisk units can be found from that computer and then abort setup
Secondly, redo the whole process. Run the 'WinSetupFromUSB 0-2-3' one more time, to make sure it wasn't the 'bad luck' scenario that pops up for me to as well - you are not the only with problems - ask me
