Hi,
I wish to load grub4dos using easyboot.I placed the grldr and menu.lst files in the root of the cd i.e /disk1.I have tried the commands run /grldr and bcdw /grldr, but when the hotkey is pressed and grub loads the first line of grub menu states
find /menu.lst, /boot/grub.menu.lst, /grub/menu.lst
then
Booting find /menu.lst, /boot/grub.menu.lst, /grub/menu.lst
which leads to the command prompt of grub
grub>
Please guide how do i boot GRUB4DOS using Easyboot?

You must tick 'Allow Lower Case' and also make sure letters to 'menu.lst' are set to lowercase 
You can not use the letters MENU.LST. Must be menu.lst 
Note: new problems might pop up as you tick 'Allow Lower Case' 
In earlier versions of EasyBoot, memdisk worked okay, which also made it possible to leave 'Allow Lower Case' unused  '
But memdisk seems not respond that well with latest release of EasyBoot 
You can use 'run' or 'bcdw' as menu command.
regards balder

Allowing lower case worked but booting the title I get
kernel /acronis/dat3.dat rw /S mbrcrcs=on vga=788 quiet
file cannot be found.My menu.lst is
default 0
title Acronis True Image Home
kernel /acronis/dat3.dat rw /S mbrcrcs=on vga=788 quiet
initrd /acronis/dat2.dat
map --unmap=0:0xff
This command works when booted from usb drive.I have extracted the boot image(acr.bif) from the rescue cd and then extracted the files from the bif to folder named acronis in the root of the cd.
I am trying on virtual pc and vmware.
I cannot boot the iso as I do not have space on my cd(making for pc with cd drive no dvd drive).Booting the acr.bif is not possible as the size is 100mb and the extracted folder sixe is 50mb.Space available on the cd is 70mb.

Please test with not extracting anything to the root of EasyBoot (folder disk1 is the root in EasyBoot)
Instead use ISO as it is (run acronis.iso).
Only tick 'Joliet' when creating ISO in EasyBoot.
If still not working, use my script 'easyboot-iso.script' without ticking 'Run ISO from RAM' to integrate acronis ISO-file into EasyBoot
Earlier acronis was never any problem - question is if later versions works the same
I tested 'Acronis_True_Image2012.iso' using menu command; run aconisimage2012.iso and ticked 'Joliet' when creating ISO in EasyBoot.
Worked from Virtual PC and also from USB stick

As I said I do not have space on the cd so running the iso file (200mb) is out of the question.I have got winxp and other utils.manage to create space after deleting unused language files from the setup disc.My actual menu.lst that worked is
default 0
title Acronis True Image Home
kernel /acronis/dat3.dat rw /S mbrcrcs=on vga=788 #load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 ramdisk_size=40000 quiet
initrd /acronis/dat2.dat
map --unmap=0:0xff
This command even loads faster than loading iso
