hi,
i've got a problem with the iso-file i created with easyboot.
first i've to sorry about my english, if it is bad (im from germany).
well,
as i said, i created a iso-file with easyboot wich should include win xp sp1, win 2k and win 98se.

first i copyed the i386 folder from the xp cd to disk1 then i renamed it to WINXPSP1_DE.
After that i edited the file setupldr.bin from WINXPSP1_DE  with the normal editor of windows. i renamed all i386 with WINXPSP1_DE (that's 4). and then i edited the file w2ksect.bin from easyboot too
then i created the iso file and tested it with MS Visual PC.

fist it worked everthing ok. i could choose wich os i want to install. when i clicked on Setup Windows XP there was only some signs

here you can see what is look like:

Posible problems:
1) The folder name MUST be the same length (4 letters) as I386
2) Normal editor (such as NotePad) may not edit HEX files like setupldr.bin properly.

UltraEdit or EasyBoot's build-in 'Tools'->'Replace Text...' function.
