@hubert21
@hubert21 It seems to me that you now are talking about boot from USB? Correct?
From this point I assume we are talking about run from USB device and NOT from CD/DVD-unit. Correct? If this is the case read following:
If run from USB device you cannot use menu.lst used in Hiren as this is for CD/DVD-unit.
To boot to you “real” harddisk from your USB device use this in menu.lst:
title Start from harddisk
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
map --hook
chainloader +1
boot
Above lines covers both WinXP as Vista as Win7 installations – that’s all you need  Â
I use a grub floppy image with this menu.lst when I operating from USB device  to boot harddisk from EasyBoot (when I run easyboot ISO from USB device).
Note: If you want to run hiren from USB device (USB Thumb-drive\stick) copy folder HBCD to the root of USB device and create this menu.lst :
#For Hiren Boot-CD: Copy folder "Hbcd" to the root of USB device
title hiren boot-cd
find --set-root /HBCD/boot.gz
map --mem /HBCD/boot.gz (fd0)
map --hook
chainloader (fd0)+1
rootnoverify (fd0)
map --floppies=1
boot
#Below launch hiren miniXP
title Hiren Mini Windows Xp\n
find --set-root /HBCD/XPLOADER.BIN
chainloader /HBCD/XPLOADER.BIN
Note: you can of course again use a grub floppy image in Easyboot to launch hiren. EasyBoot do have a huge advantage according to nice backgrounds etcetera 
Final note: Grub is not case sensitiv (BIG or small letters) when run from FAT, FAT32 or NTFS-file systems. Grub is only case sensitiv when run\used in CD/DVD-environment.

Hi sirius98.
Quote: ”This manual: http://videos.apnicommunity.com/Video,Item,452046223.html works's fine for Hirens 10.1 but”. Sure it works – and so does “manual” (tutorial) you can find in different topics in EasyBoot forum 
Anyway, to your request…. Quote. “ADVANCED MENU in v10.2 - it dosen't  show on boot menu”.
The “standard procedure” is this:
Copy folder hbcd (or extract folder hbcd from ISO-file) to EasyBoot\disk1
Use command in menu. Â Memdisk /hbcd/boot.gz
Note: You do not need to check “Allow Lower Case” if using this method!
Okay you do not get some of the “ADVANCED MENU” but basically you do not have much use of them  Â
However I have designed a compressed floppy image for you to test. Download HERE
Put compressed floppy image (hiren.zip) as it is to folder ezboot and use menu command: Â memdisk /ezboot/hiren.zip Â
Important! Check “Allow Lower Case” when creating ISO in Easyboot when using this method 
I FORGOTT!!!!
You can also use menu command: Â bootinfotable;run /hbcd/isolinux.bin
Note1: command "bootinfotable;run /hbcd/isolinux.bin" most likely only works in hiren-10.0 and hiren-10.2 and not working in hiren-10.1
Note2: You do not need to check “Allow Lower Case” if using this method!

balder I am gonna test your secret hiren floppy image some time soon.
I need some clarifications though. You said to: Put compressed floppy image (hiren.zip) as it is to folder ezboot and use menu command: memdisk /ezboot/hiren.zip
Important! Check “Allow Lower Case” when creating ISO in Easyboot when using this method
What do i do with hiren is? Do i still need to extract hbcd folder to disk1 or can I use it as ISO file?
Thanks.

Yes you need to copy folder hbcd to EasyBoot\disk1
You cannot run hiren-ISO directly – we have to extract folder hbcd.
I quote from post nr; 24 in this topic you are reading:
"Copy folder hbcd (or extract folder hbcd from ISO-file) to EasyBoot\disk1
Put compressed floppy image (hiren.zip) as it is to folder ezboot and use menu command: memdisk /ezboot/hiren.zip Â

I hope you still can download hiren.zip from my web server
Edit: Changed downloads to a temporary location (mediafire)

balder,
This did not work for some reason.
Here is the situation. I did exactly what you said in the post above mine, I even enabled "Allow Lower Case" during iso compilation. From easyboot menu when I chose hiren boot CD it will load fine and dispaly the usual hiren boot CD screen.
When I click on the dos portion of the menu a familiar menu with dos programs pop up.
At this point everything looks ok; however when I tried to lunch any of the programs I got a popup saying that hbcd cannot be found.
I am not sure what's wrong. I believe that I tried hiren boot CD 10.0 some time ago and it was working fine of the USB under easyboot menu (of course with the help of your script).
EDIT: actually I just checked and the last version of hiren bootcd that worked from easyboot menu from usb with the help of your script was 9.9
Perhaps, if nothing else work and you have no solution for me to lunch hiren bootcd 10.2 from easyboot then maybe we can try to integrate hiren into the grub menu before easyboot is lunched.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks for any help balder.

Yes you are partly right about problems related to Hiren. Problems was related to lower and uppercase to file names in folder hbcd
I used USB stick when testing and it works from USB – but not from CD/DVD - mistake by me 
There are several problems when using method “memdisk hiren.zip” when run from CD/DVD-units. An example is when launching MiniXP. It crashes. We have to use a separate menu command for this purpose.
To use Hiren from CD/DVD do as following:
1. Copy (or extract) folder hbcd to EasyBoot\disk1
2. Download updated hiren.zip-file from HERE and put hiren.zip in folder ezboot as it is
3. Use my script easyboot-uppercase and run uppercase (point and open folder disk1 in easyboot). Note: if you later integrate ISO file - using script: easyboot-iso.script - you do not need to run uppercase-script as uppercase is run automatically when integrating ISO-file. When creating ISO - no need to check “Allow Lower Case”.
4. Use menu command: memdisk hiren.zip
5. To launch MiniXP use separate menu command: Â bcdw /hbcd/xp.bin
To use Hiren from USB do as following:
1. Download updated hiren.zip-file from HERE and put file in folder ezboot as it is
2. Use menu command: memdisk hiren.zip
3. Create ISO in EasyBoot (no need to check “Allow Lower Case”). And do not put folder hbcd in easyboot\disk1 (read point 5 below)
4. Use script easyboot-usb to get created EasyBoot-ISO-file into USB device
5. Copy (or extract) folder hbcd to the root of USB device
Note: I have modified hiren.zip (zip-file for download)
Test is done using Hiren-10.2
