You can extract boot image from original bootable WinME disc by UltraISO, and use it (.bif) in EasyBoot menu item.

Where do you find the "boot image" on a Win ME disc, thank's.

It is on your original WinME setup CD, and UltraISO can help you to extract the boot image.

Sorry for  jumping in on this thread but a Windows Me CD is generally not bootable unless you have an OEM  version that was maybe modified to be bootable.

Just like with Windows 98 you will need the boot floppy and the Win9x directory from your CD. Use EasyBoot to make an image of the floppy and place the image into your Easyboot\Disk1\Ezboot directory and copy the Win9x directory and  it's  contents to the \Easyboot\Disk1 directory.

If you already have a Win9x directory then you can rename this directory to something else, just don't forget to modify the Autoexec.bat on your floppy to change references from Win9x to the name you are using!

If you do not have a Windows Me boot disk but you have a system running WinMe, go to Control Panel, then Add/Remove Programs, and finally to the Boot Disk tab to create a WinMe boot disk.
