Hello,
It is possible to boot Bart's PW-builder with 'run bartpe.bif'.
A windows98 floppy can be booted with 'run setup98.img'.
But how do I boot an image that has been loaded into a file called 'ms-dos cd.bif' ?
Is it just 'run ms-dos cd.bif' ?
As easy as that ?
thnks for yr reactions
Fred

Please download the image here < http://www.ezbsvs.com/download/boot_msd.img >
and use 'run boot_msd.img' command for menu item.

thank you for your reaction, Xoben
but the idea is to make one CD, with Bart's PE, a floppy-image and an image of a dos-based CD.
so everything on the same CD, and selective bootable with easyboot.
how would that go ?
thnks
Fred

You can do so by simply changing the sample menu's command.

I am sorry, but I am not quite in the clear yet.
Do I place the files from the dos-CD in C:\EasyBoot\Disk1, just as should be done with BartPE.iso ?
And the command to run the dos-CD would be: 'run bootimg.bin' ?
If this is not the case, could you let me know, how else it can be done ?
thnks
Fred

Here is more detailed instructions:

1) Setup EasyBoot
2) Put all image files to c:\easyboot\disk1\ezboot folder
3) Run EasyBoot, it will open the sample menu file by default
4) Switch to 'Menu' page, change menu text and command as you want, one by one
5) Switch to 'File' page, Save the menu file
6) Click 'Make ISO' button to generate a bootable ISO
7) Burn the ISO image to CD-R disc by click 'Burn CD' button (Provided Nero is in your PC, otherwise please see user's guide of your burning software)

ok, martinx, i got it too, also please tell me in the case of multiple ISOs which can contain files like autorun.exe, ... in their root folders, where do i extract the files for each ISO apart?

In this case, you should create a NEW autorun.exe, which has a menu to select different tools (just as what EasyBoot does).

and in case another files share same names i think i can do nothing, don't i, or there is another way or program to work with multiple ISOs?
