Hi balder!
You write to me: "Copied everything from Win-7 DVD (or from ISO-file) to Easyboot\disk1"
But there are files with the same names in Win7 and WinXP - setup.exe, autorun.inf and other, and when I copy first Win7 and second WinXP it's replace them and I have setup.exe only for WinXP because It's delete setup.exe for Win7.
How can I decide this problem. How you decide this problem? ?!!!!!! Can I rename one of these two setup.exe??!!!!!!!
I tryed to use youre script WinBuilder, but maybe I don't know how...No help in WinBuilder. What is idea, what I suppose to do with this WinBuilder. I start with Play and show my bootable WinXP CD and it's appear start screen again, and what else..?!!!

Quote: “But there are files with the same names in Win7 and WinXP” Okay; now I understand what problem your issue was directed to.
To use\have setup.exe and autorun.inf in folder disk1 is optional and not necessary 
Note: Sorry, my solution was only directed to how you launch setup from bootable ISO (created by EasyBoot) but this files: setup.exe, autorun.inf is only used (or can only) be used in Windows environment – typically WinXP or similar – and has nothing in common with when you launch setup from bootable DVD-unit (when you boot computer). Setup.exe is only used if you wish to upgrade a present system (when you are up and running a Windows OP-system). Setup.exe for WinXP is mainly used when you upgrade from WinME or Win-98. Do you really need this option
Quote: “Can I rename one of these two setup.exe?” – Yes, test this: Rename setup.exe from WinXP to Setup_xp.exe and leave setup.exe from Win-7 as it is. This solution means that setup of WinXP is not initiated at all when you insert DVD to CD/DVD-unit in a Windows system as we spare this function for Win-7 on DVD. To start setup of WinXP you double-click to Setup_xp.exe which initiate upgrade of you system (basically only to be used when upgrading Windows-system like WinME or Win-98).
Explanation; AutoRun (autorun.inf) and the companion feature AutoPlay, are components of the Microsoft Windows operating system that dictate what actions the system takes. You definitely do not start windows and then run Easyboot. So no harm to have autorun.inf in folder disk1 as well. Anyway, you can keep name to setup.exe that belongs to Win-7as it is.
If you now put in your created DVD to the DVD-unit autorun.inf automatically launch setup.exe, which start setup of Win-7 (upgrade is initiated). Note:autorun.inf cannot find Setup.exe that belongs to WinXP because you have changed name to Setup_xp.exe.
By the way - I can tell you already now, that upgrade from WinXP to Win-7 is not recommended by me – instead do a new fresh “clean install” if you like to use Win-7 as OP-system. This also means that you don’t need setup.exe in folder disk1 at all – okay no harm to have it there just in case you do some upgrade somewhere any way.
About WinBuilder and my scripts: Quote: I start with Play…” Do not push “PLAY”-button in the upper right corner – forget this button. It is the “Start-button” in script that starts process of script.
Note: Each script has a working area named “Main Process” or "Main Section” and in this section you always have a Start-button and also a tiny “Help-button”. Press help-button in each script to get some basic help what script does and if there are settings you get some basic explanation how to handle this.
Note: nearly all scripts need some basic settings typically: "Scroll to where folder i386 is placed. Don't open folder i386." Or "Where is EasyBoot installed? Scroll and open folder EasyBoot" or "Set new name to folder i386 here”. You must of course help script with this basic settings before you press Start-button in script

Hi Balder, I'm a noob, and have been following the posts attempting to create a dvd that will auto start Vista Install upon reboot.I already have the CD image,(.ISO) of the Entire Vista O.S. on my harddrive and have Ultra .ISO installed. Basically i need to know what i need to create an install disc that will start from bootup, instead of inside an existing O.S., or a virtual drive. I had some issues with Daemon earlier. I know a little but still trying to figure this out before i run outta DVD's. Sure could use some simple advice. Simpler the better! Thank you in advance, Lust4bst

First of all – welcome 
Quote: “I already have the CD image,(.ISO) of the Entire Vista O.S”
Hmm… not sure if I can follow you  – if you already have the complete ISO of Vista OS you can use ISO and a simple (free) software to burn ISO-file directly to DVD-unit (you need a DVD. As CD is far to small in size).
Or is your project to integrate Vista setup in Easyboot read HERE
Only difference is that you copy from ISO-file instead of USB

@famizban
Well seems that this is your first post here – so I say welcome to this forum @famizban
Quote: " Pleas insert Windows XP - Service Pack 2 cd"
You have forgot to put one or several “ident-files” on the root (EasyBoot\disk1) - typically Win51, Win51ip2 or Win51ip.sp2 or Win51ip.sp3 depending what service-pack you have integrated into WinXP Â
Look in you’re your source-folder for WinXP (or in ISO-file) what ident-files you need on the root (EasyBoot\disk1 is the root for EasyBoot).
Quote: I Just Checked "Allow Lower Case"
To have "Allow Lower Case" checked - then you need to run “uppercase” to all files and folder names on the root (EasyBoot\disk1).
Note: you can run “Uppercase” using my script “easyboot-uppercase” (you can download the whole kit below here) – or choose to create ISO with "Allow Lower Case" unchecked to see if it helps

Yes you must do uppercase to all file and folders names that is used by setup-XP accordingly – if you check “Allow lower case”.
And yes this is a hell of a task to do – so I have created a script that does this automatically for you
If you take a closer look into my collections of script you find “easyboot-uppercase.script”!
Let easyboot-uppercase.script to do the job.
Note: there is also help file in script – push help-button in script!
Then test and see what happens!
Or – as I already have pointed out in reply before - why not exclude “Allow lower case” to se if things get better (to see if this part work alright).
For post nr 19 I respond:
To make an ISO-file based on NT5-Live-system to launch directly (ISO-file typically: BartPE.ISO, Reatogo.ISO, ERD5.ISO, ERD7.ISO or similar) you must check “Run from RAM”. There is no need to check “Allow lower case” to make such ISO to launch correctly - “Allow lower case” is mostly for Linux/IsoLinux-builds (some rare of this ones). In “normal” case, there is no need to check “Allow lower case” - but instead “Joliet” (Knoppix for example).
Attention! There is no need to check “Run from RAM” for other ISO-files (Linux-based or similar) – primary target for checkbox “Run from RAM” is NT5-based Live-systems.
Note: NT5-family starts with Win2000 up to WinXP. NT6-family is basically Vista\Win7-systems – and for these ones – there is no need to check “Run from RAM”.
You could read most of this if you instead have pushed help-button in script – please use help-buttons in scripts
