Dear Deadl2ose

For getting back from Grub4dos menu to ezboot menu ,i did as below and test was ok.

1.I placed BCDW folder in ..\disk1 directory (i used bcdw1.5 files for this test)
2.Placed files below in disk1 directory:
XXXX.BIN (I will tell about this bin file in next step)
BOOTCAT.INI (by command  "\ezboot\loader.bin                ;Run EasyBoot"
grldr
menu.lst by command below on it:
--------------------------------
 color blue/green yellow/red white/magenta white/magenta
timeout 30  
default /0

title ezboot Menu  
find --set-root /XXXX.BIN         
chainloader /XXXX.BIN
---------------------------------------
3.For XXXX.BIN ,i made an small project by bcdw1.5 ,and made iso of that ,then used bbie and
got bootinfo bin file of that iso,and renamed that to XXXX.BIN and then placed that in disk1 directory

4.Used command below in easyboot:
bcdw /grldr

5.Made final iso

6.Opened created iso by ultraiso and Add ed file  "loader.bin" from ...\disk1\ezboot directory
inside ezboot directory of iso and save.
==============
thats all
tested in virtualpc was ok

Konboot 1.0 is latest. It says 1.1 on Konboot website but its wrong.  1.1 is payware.
In vmware set up a password protected login account then boot konboot and all should work fine.  I ran into problems too until i set up a login password.

@madar

Thanks!  I'm going to try this in the next couple days.  One thing i dont get though is

Did you just make text document and save it as bootcat.ini?

hello Deadl2ose,

But even I write a cd and boot in the real computer, the screen became blank all over. That's why I can't go on to test it.

I load BCDW by grub,then BCDW loads ezboot menu.so you need bootcat.ini .and add command above in BCDW's bootcat.ini

note:
When you make iso of easyboot,there will not be file "loader.bin" in ezboot"directory of iso.so you should add it to iso as i said in last line of my tutor

have good days

I’m pretty sure that tutorial from @madar works (they always do :) ) – but I have found a very simple way to jump from grub menu back to the EasyBoot “Start menu” :cool:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to easily jump from Grub4dos menu to EasyBoot start menu ("main menu") :laugh:

1. Copy grldr to folder disk1 (optional: you can launch grldr from inside of folder ezboot as well)
2. Copy text-file menu.lst to folder disk1
3. To launch grub (grldr) from EasyBoot menu, use command:  bcdw /grldr
4. To jump back to your EasyBoot menu (I use here DEFAULT.EZB as example) put in grub command in text-file menu.lst:  

title Jump back to Easyboot menu
find --set-root /EZBOOT/DEFAULT.EZB
chainloader --raw /EZBOOT/DEFAULT.EZB

Note1: You must jump back to your “main menu” (Start menu) as the “drive” is mapped to that menu when you launched EasyBoot (in my example “DEFAULT.EZB)
You cannot jump to a second different ***.EZB menu – grub cannot “hook” the INT-13 (there is no “drive” to map).

Note2: Take attention to that grub is case sensitive :O  – I use uppercase (CAPS) in my example as I always have my folder EZBOOT and files inside there uppercased.

Thanks for nice feedback :)

However – I’m trying to launch bcdw from grub (menu.lst) but this seems impossible :O
Launching - jump to main menu in - EasyBoot menu is no problem – but that bcdw isn’t that easy ???
I thought it could be handy to use bcdw in some rare occasions – to make EasyBoot even more powerful :cool:
Note: Instead I can of course easy launch bcdw-1.50 from EasyBoot (run /bcdw/bcdw.bin)
And hereby take advantages of the full power of bcdw – so in this respect bcdw can be used in some rare occasions

But as we already have the major benefits of bcdw built-in to EasyBoot – I guess I leave it as it is – option to jump back to Easyboot menu from grub is hereby solved :;):

Regards balder

Dear friend
when i was working to load bcdw by grub,i had the same problem.but you should note two points:
1.Using uppercase letters (as you have mentioned in many places).
2.For boot option ,as i said in my tutor ,first make iso of an small project by
bcdw and then extract bootinfo of made iso and use that to be loaded by
grub.
i do not know why ,but the origional bcdw.bin can not be loaded by grub.
