balder,
Thank you so much for your advice. :) :) :)
Also thank you for very much for easy to follow instructions.  

Before you had a chance to reply to my post, I followed instructions from your post # 6.
It seems to work fine on my usb drive. Both DosCD and MiniXP are loading fine.
I used paragon image that you supplied us with.
The only thing that was missing was the advanced menu.

Is the hiren.zip that you posted above very different from the paragon image that you gave earlier?
Is it worth updating my image with the new hiren.zip and a new command: memdisk hiren.zip ?

All the best.

As I’m sometimes (mostly) is a little bit lazy :p  I used following simple way to create this “mysterious” :cool:  hiren.zip-file;
Open hirens folder hbcd and find file “menu.lst” (it’s as you know a simple text file used by grub). Replace file menu.lst in grub image “paragon” and “voila” you have created a new hiren grub “kicker-image”. Then run zip to reduce size to this floppy image - followed by using menu command in Easyboot: memdisk hiren.zip

He, he “Easy as a cake” :laugh:

Regards balder

Yes but you have to do uppercase to all paths in menu.lst

For example following doesn’t work :( :

title Dos BootCD\nRun Dos Programs
find --set-root /HBCD/boot.gz
kernel /HBCD/memdisk
initrd /HBCD/boot.gz

Run uppercase to folder hbcd and then change to this:

title Dos BootCD\nRun Dos Programs
find --set-root /HBCD/BOOT.GZ
kernel /HBCD/MEMDISK
initrd /HBCD/BOOT.GZ

You must change all text (path) :O  to every "title command" in menu.lst

Open (extract) hiren.zip and then open floppy image and take a look to menu.lst - then I'm sure you understand

Regards balder

balder then I better use your hiren.zip because the menu file there has the commands written with upper case letters.

Today I will come back form work and I will try the method described above.

Thank you so much for all your hard work. !!! Can I keep you :) :) :) LOL

balder I did some test.
Not very successful with the last instructions.

MiniXP did not load.
Other programs in the Aldvanced menu did not work well either. Windows memory program kept freezing at the start.

1. Maybe it has to do with the fact that floppy image was zipped this time also the command was not run but it was memdisk. And also the menu.lst was slightly differenet as well.


This combination worked for me and minixp and dos programs loaded fine: This is where I used a paragon floppy image that you gave in your post # 6.
CODE
=======================================================
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
==============================================


This new method with a differenet menu.lst did not work for me very well.

CODE
==============================================
title Dos BootCD\nRun Dos Programs
find --set-root /HBCD/BOOT.GZ
kernel /HBCD/MEMDISK
initrd /HBCD/BOOT.GZ

title Mini Windows Xp\nRun Antivirus and other windows programs
find --set-root /HBCD/XPLOADER.BIN
chainloader /HBCD/XPLOADER.BIN
==============================================


Also when i made and ISO i did not activate the checkbox for allow for lower case as you suggested.


Let me know what your think.

Many thanks. :)

@ Orochi

I’m curios

1. What version of Hiren do you use ???
2. If using Hien_v10.2 – did you use downloaded hiren.zip ???  
Note: keep in mind to use hiren.zip in combination with hiren_v10.2 :O  

To launch MiniXP use separate menu command:  bcdw /hbcd/xp.bin (as stated from post nr; 30) Note: this is if run hiren from CD/DVD-unit. If run hiren from USB device, you only need to launch hiren.zip (EasyBoot menu command: memdisk hiren.zip).

And watch out for case in letters (do uppercase)

I really have “hard tested” tutorial in post nr;30 – and have no problems with hiren_v10.2

Regards balder

I am using a 10.2

QUOTE

Of course.

I will try again with you last hiren.zip file. This time I will use run hiren.ima command and allow for lower case.

Also I wanted to mention that all this time i am experimenting with USB drive not a CD/DVD.

I will let you know if I succeed :)

Worse comes to worse I will have to use the other paragon image which worked for me fine for some reason.

Did a new test using USB device (USB stick-drive).
Downloaded hiren.zip and followed tutorial in post nr;30 and everything works fine :)

Note: Please test USB device in “reality” (reboot computer and boot from USB device). Built-in test facility to USB device may not work fully out if launching MiniXP :O

Whoooaaa - it's sleeping time Z.Z.z.z...... :cool:

balder, every single time the device was tested in reality not in Virtual Machine.

I am trying your method again form post 30. I will update the post to let you know whether it works or not.

EDIT: I give up :(. The same story. When XP is in the process of loading I get some kind of memory exception. Windows memory program freezes as soon as it starts.

Did everything like you said :(
