Sorry but facing new problem, you can consider below image. If I tick “Joliet” then DSL work fine but BartPE doesn’t run and if I don’t tick (leave blank) “Joliet” then BartPE run fine but DSL doesn’t run. So here what to do to run both properly. I used DSL and make easyboot-iso that make DSL.IMG. I have put Knoppix folder separately in disk1 folder and there “ISO” folder now on with DSL.ISO file in it. There is DSL.IMG file in ezboot folder too.

For BartPE, I have put every thing from BartPE folder and copy it in “disk1” folder and I have put this command for BartPE to run “run w2ksect.bin”. Its always work find this command.

So what to do to run both.

@looknguide

looknguide to use my script easyboot-iso.script you must check “Allow Lower Case” which I’m sure you did – and for DSL to work with its folder knoppix on the root (disk1) you have to also check “Joliet”. This is the right procedure – so far so well

Note: checking “Joliet” shouldn’t interfere the launch process for BartPE but is necessary for DSL – so leave that one checked. And to launch DSL you also as mentioned above, need to check “Allow Lower Case” – it’s here your problems pops up.

But what showed up when you launched BartPE? If you get: “Couldn’t find NTLDR” when checking “Allow Lower Case” do as below.

1. Integrate BartPE to folder disk1 (you already now how this is done)
2. Integrate DSL using my script easyboot-iso.script
3. Check “Allow Lower Case” and check “Joliet” when creating ISO.

Note: It is very important that easyboot-iso.script is run after you have integrated any “Live-system” based on folder i386 as files in this folder must be uppercased when you check “Allow Lower Case”. This is done automatically by easyboot-iso.script during its process.

Please test and report back your results :O

Edit: As you already are familiar how to use easyboot-iso.script, why not integrate BartPE-ISO-file as it is using script? Note: Check “Run from RAM" when you run script to integrate ISO-file from BartPE.

Hi,

I'm trying to load Parted Magic 5.6 using this method, but it is not working.

I get "Searching for pmagic-5.6.sqfs..." and after a while "It seems the media that contains the pmagic-5.6.sqfs could not be found....."

There is something changed since that version 4.1?

Can’t tell if something is changed (but it sure is a common problem) – or to quote from different discussion-groups  around Internet: “There maybe entries for different versions of ISO-files - each version has quirks of its own to get working”

Anyway – tutorial from @madar is basically correct – this is on the other hand common :)
However test this:

1. Extract folder “boot” and folder “pmagic” to easyboot\disk1
2. Use simplified menu command given by @madar in EasyBoot:  bcdw /boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin
3. When creating ISO, check “Joliet” (you are recommended to use "Run from RAM" in Pmagic menu)
Note: If testing in ”virtual environment” make sure to use at least 512 MB RAM.
-------------------------------------------------------

Or use “standard method”:
1. Extract folder “boot” and folder “pmagic” to easyboot\disk1
2. Open Magic.ISO-file and extract BOOT-file. Save boot-file as magic.bif to folder ezboot (I used UltraIso for this operation).
3. Use menu command in EasyBoot.  bootinfotable;run magic.bif
4. When creating ISO, check “Joliet” (you are recommended to use "Run from RAM" in Pmagic menu)
Note: If testing in ”virtual environment” make sure to use at least 512 MB RAM.
--------------------------------------------------------
Or use my favourite method :laugh:  (unfortunately cannot every ISO-file be launched as it is, but surprisingly many ISO-files can be used this way).
There is another huge benefit using this method – and that is the option to run ISO-file (launched by EasyBoot) from USB device (USB stick\Thumb-drive or USB harddisk unit).

Test this:
1. Create a folder “ISO” in EasyBoot\disk1 (Note: use CAPS = BIG LETTERS to folder name “ISO”).
2. Copy pmagic-5.7.iso to folder ISO. Make sure name is exactly “pmagic-5.7.iso”
3. Download floppy image “pmagic.img” from HERE and put image in folder ezboot
4. Use menu command in EasyBoot:  run pmagic.img
5. When creating ISO in EasyBoot, check “Joliet” and check “Allow lower case”
Note: If testing in ”virtual environment” make sure to use at least 512 MB RAM.

That’s it

Thanks for your help Balder, all of your methods are working just fine!  :;):

The problem in my case it was caused because i have copied the needed folders using a virtual cd to mount the pmagic.iso image, instead of extract them - this way it was generated a misspelling of some files.

My error was fixed just by extracting the folders from pmagic.iso using UltraISO.  :)

Best wishes for everybody!

As a new member I say welcome @beef682

I searched and downloaded partedmagic from HERE
Hopefully we are dealing with the program you having problem to launch :;):

I managed to launch program this way:
1. Extract folder pmagic from partedmagic.iso to folder disk1 (folder disk1 is the root for EasyBoot if you wonder).
2. I used my script easyboot-iso.script to integrate partedmagic.iso-file into Easyboot.
Note: you automatically get the right menu command to copy and paste into EasyBoot menu by script in the end of process :)
This means you must use the complete partedmagic.iso-file when using easyboot-iso.script and also extract folder pmagic to the root for Easyboot (folder disk1) :O
You can check “Joliet” without problems (if needed by some other program) – partedmagic works fine anyway :cool:

You find my script collection below in every post I write in this forum :;):
Read carefully READ_ME.html in download
--------------------------------------------------------------
There is a way to reduce size using the ”standard procedure”.

Test this:
1. Extract everything from pmagic-5.10.iso (the one I downloaded) to folder disk1
2. Open pmagic-5.10.iso with UltraIso and save boot-file to folder ezboot (I used name pmagic.bif)
3. In EasyBoot menu use command:  bootinfotable;run pmagic.bif
Note: In this way you don’t need to use the “work-around” method using script and ISO-file.
