searcher123: your method did not work for me. tried both VMWARE and VIRTUALBOX, both just restarted when trying to load Hiren...

Very strange! I tested it on real PCs too. There is no problem in my tests and all thing is working well ???

Notes:
1. Just copy isolinux.bin, isolinux.cfg & menu.c32 to ezboot, not move them.
2. Don't check Joliet option during creating ISO image.
3. Survey that all thing be copied right to HBCD dir.

And a question:
What is the version of your EasyBoot? Do you use the last release?

@searcher123

Tested your post nr: 9
In my case I get ”Image checksum error”

First of all, @searcher123 – why not change path in easyboot menu commando like this: bcdw /hbcd/isolinux.bin (/hbcd set path to folder hbcd) Basically, this is the same “old” recommended launch command as for hiren_v10 read HERE   Credits to madar for this

So what causing us problem when using this command bcdw /hbcd/isolinux.bin when launching hiren_v10.1 but works so well to hiren_v10 :angry:

Answer is the file isolinux.bin in folder hbcd. Make a copy of isolinux.bin from hiren_v10 and overwrite isolinux.bin in folder hbcd-hiren_v10.1 and all our problems are solved :laugh:

Conclusion: This is definitely a step in right direction for all users of EasyBoot :D  
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you consider to run EasyBoot from USB device and want hiren included (put folder hbcd in folder Easyboot\disk1 as usual) I recommend following to bee the most universal working solution:

1. Extract folder hbcd from hiren ISO to EasyBoot\disk1 as usual
2. Open folder hbcd and extract floppy image from compressed file “Boot.gz” to folder ezboot (change name to extracted floppy image to hiren.img)
3. To launch hiren “bootCD” use menu command in EasyBoot:  run hiren.img
4. To launch miniXP in hiren use menu command in EasyBoot:  bcdw /hbcd/xp.bin  (credits to searcher123 for pointing this out)

Create ISO as usual (you don’t need to check “Allow lower case” to make this work) :)

Oh Dear blader! I'm sorry for my mistake. You are right. The version of my tested Hiren's was v10.0 not 10.1. I was never thinking there is so different between 10.0 and 10.1  boot file :O

However I have not downloaded v10.1 to now, but  I must really thanks to the tips instead of myself and all of the future Hiren's & EasyBoot users.

Best Regards

@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

Regards balder

You are THE MAN, everything works FINE for me now, and with that script you´ve made for transfering my ISO build off easyboot to my UFD, it´s so much better since i can now service a computer at faster speeds (reading/writing is much faster than a DVD)

I´m so excited, as i type i´m taking snapshots of the build running, once again thanks balder, i owe you big time.

I´ll post the pictures once i end up making the final release of my build

Regards,

2) To Run Mini XP
Use menu command line in Easyboot:

Quote: ” Why this command  "run xxx.bif" doesn't work in Hiren's ??”.

@hubert21, it’s a misunderstanding here :;):  
First of all quotes (") is never used in menu command (just in case you tested this).
Secondly, run xxx.bif is only a example name.

By the way, I can’t find "run xxx.bif" anywhere in this Topic. Where did you collect this example file name (from what Topic) ???

When you extract or use or create by your self a loader-file (xxx.bin or xxx.bif or xxx.ima or xxx.img for example) that belongs to launching some software you can (or is advised) to name or rename this file, typically a name that point to what software you like to launch.
I name my ghost floppy image to ghost.ima – I do not use a name like birdie.img or xxx.img as this is confusing.
To launch setup of WinXP I can use file that already is a part of easyboot – and that file is W2ksect.bin in folder ezboot. I make a copy of this file and rename this copy to setupxp.bin and use menu command: run setupxp.bin

Another way to collect a boot-file that launch setup of WinXP is to extract boot file from a bootable WinXP-CD. I save this boot-file as setupxp.bif in folder ezboot and use menu command: run setupxp.bif (note: extension “bif” is created if using UltraISO – you can rename this file to setupxp.bin if it is easier to understand and instead use menu command: run setupxp.bin)

It work great but I would also put 2  alternative boot method (xp and Win7) which are in basic boot menu in Hiren's Boot cd 10.1.

I used "run hiren.bif" to start hiren's, it works very good in notebooks but in normal stationary computer appears error.  

Sorry for my bad english

Hmmmm… ???  XP (miniXP) is already a part of Hiren and fully possible to launch the way I made tutorial for (the one you used in post nr: 19).

But this “alternative boot method Win7” is not any part of Hiren – as far as I know. Or do you mean you want to launch a completely different Win7 (Win7-PE = Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset DaRT – sometimes called MsDART)) – because this can be launched directly using ISO as it is - no need to extract folder and files to EasyBoot\disk1. I have created a script that automatically fixes this. Read HERE

Quote: “I used "run hiren.bif" to start hiren's, it works very good in notebooks but in normal stationary computer appears error. ”. Method you used in post nr 19 doesn’t use "run hiren.bif". My tutorial show how you use a grub based floppy image (floppy image hiren.ima) that take care of the launch process for hiren using grub as boot manager – So I’m unsure what you mean ???

PS. Generally no problems with you English :)
