@Mann
Hi Mann – yes you are right about quote: “Latest Hiren BootCD 10.1 has different boot file” 
Do it this way (tutorial slightly changed to):
1. Extract folder Hbcd from ISO to EasyBoot\disk1
2. Use menu command in EasyBoot: memdisk /hbcd/boot.gz
Enjoy

Dear balder
This method works to bring the Hiren's boot sub menu with all the utilities, but it skips the main boot menu where there is the option to boot mini windows xp or choose alternative boot method.. is there a way to boot mini xp in Hiren's 10.1 ?
Thanks

@EB1000
Quote: “is there a way to boot mini xp in Hiren's 10.1 ?” Sure
Do it this way:
1. Extract folder HBCD to EasyBoot\disk1
2. Download floppy image from HERE and extract floppy image to folder ezboot. Note : this is a paragon image – rename floppy image to hiren.ima
3. Open floppy image and extract text file menu.lst to some temporary place (a folder temp or whatever).
4. Modify text in menu.lst to this (use notepad):
color black/cyan yellow/cyan
timeout 10
title Start Hiren's BootCD
find --set-root /HBCD/boot.gz
map --mem /HBCD/boot.gz (fd0)
map --hook
chainloader (fd0)+1
rootnoverify (fd0)
map --floppies=1
boot
title Mini Windows Xp\n
find --set-root --ignore-floppies /HBCD/XPLOADER.BIN
chainloader /HBCD/XPLOADER.BIN
Save text to menu.lst and inject it back to floppy image hiren.ima and save changes.
5. IN EasyBoot menu set command: run hiren.ima
6. When creating ISO in EasyBoot check “Allow lower case” <-- very important!
Please read how to avoid problems when using “Allow lower case” Read post-65 HERE
This works well from CD/DVD-reader but if you planning to use hiren from USB device you only need to move folder HBCD to the root of USB device – you don’t have any use for folder HBCD in created EasyBoot ISO-file - in this way ISO-file with EasyBoot is much less in size – as folder HBCD instead is on the root of USB device 
Note: if testing ISO-file in Virtual PC or VMware you might get some odd warning if starting miniXP - but this is most likely related to environment where ISO is run from. Used in "reality" there is no problem that I have discovered

@searcher123
Hi searcher123
Quote: ” all of the Hiren's 10.x starting options” Well to get both options you can use tutorial in post nr:6 but if only want hirenCD use tutorial in post nr:2
And as you pointed out quote:
“If you just want Mini XP, there is a very simple way:
1. Copy HBCD --> XP.BIN to ezboot dir.
2. Copy HBCD to disk1 Dir
3. Use run XP.BIN in your menu.”
Or\and combine this with post nr:2
Actually you don’t even need to move xp.bin anywhere – use command run /hbcd/xp.bin (/hbcd change path to folder hbcd instead of normal ezboot) 
It’s optional to how users like to have it presented in EasyBoot menu
Note: no need to check for “Allow lower case” if combine method in post nr:2 and post nr:7 (searcher123)
Note: If user want to launch EasyBoot ISO-file from USB device the best choice is to combine tutorial in post nr:2 and post nr:7 (using two menu options in Easyboot menu). In this way no need to copy folder bcdw to the root of USB device

I found the answer at last.
I'm not glad to see other peoples are confused too, but I'm glad that I'm not alone
