As a new member I say welcome @tuco

What I can find out in your post is that Hiren and setup of WinXP from USB is not working correctly - which is 'normal' as you cannot simply move such build to USB device 
Note: Run setup of WinXP from USB is very different comparing to run setup of WinXP from CD\DVD
You need an "third part tool" to create environment on USB device that can handle setup of WinXP from USB device.
Download HERE
Test this to setup WinXP from USB:
1. Start with format your USB stick (right-click to USB stick and format to FAT32)
2. Run program 'WinSetupFromUSB 0-2-3.exe'
3. In the top of program-window you 'Browse' to your WinXP-source (don't tick anything else).
4. Press 'GO' to start installation to USB stick. Note: Accept when program want to install grub MBR to USB stick.
5. Download my script-collection (you have download below in every post I write in this forum.
6. Open folder 'USB_Resources' ín downloaded script-collection and copy ' setupxp.img' to folder ezboot.
7. Use menu command in EasyBoot menu: run setupxp.img (save changes to EasyBoot menu)
8. Copy everything from EasyBoot\disk1 (including folder ezboot) to the root of USB stick
9. On USB stick, open text-file 'menu.lst' (use notepad) and delete all text and put in these lines instead:
title Start EasyBoot
find --set-root /ezboot/ezldr
chainloader --raw /ezboot/ezldr
title Windows XP/2000/2003 Second part
find --set-root --ignore-floppies /NTLDR
chainloader /NTLDR
Save changes to text-file 'menu.lst'
Appendix!
When run setup of WinXP you;
1. Launch setup from EasyBoot (run setupxp.img)
2. When copying of files is done and computer reboot for the first time during setup of WinXP - you must manually select 'title Windows XP/2000/2003 Second part'
That should do it 
-------------------------------------------
The Hiren case:
Read post nr; 5 HERE
Alternatively - use my script 'EasyBoot-HIREN_v14*' to integrate Hiren into EasyBoot!
Important! Copy folder 'HBCD' to the root of USB stick
That should do it
Some notes: This is a simple but "productive" trick I use...
When you make changes to your EasyBoot menu, you only next time need to copy the used 'menu' to folder ezboot on USB stick (but you must before copying push on 'Save' in EasyBoot so that changes take affect).
Example: Let's say I use menu an menu in EasyBoot 'bootmenu.ezb'.
I make changes to this menu (for example creating a new menu command; run setupxp.img)
I follow up with pushing 'Save' in EasyBoot so changes to 'bootmenu.ezb' is saved.
I hereafter simply copy 'bootmenu.ezb' from EasyBoot\disk1\ezboot to folder ezboot on USB stick overwriting existing 'bootmenu.ezb'.
You don't need to copy the whole folder ezboot overwriting existing folder ezboot on USB stick (easier and more comfortable - and superfast).
However if you chose to suddenly use another menu as 'main menu' then you should copy the whole folder ezboot overwriting existing folder ezboot on USB stick
Final note: Nothing wrong with your English - works great

in Easyboot. I save the menu. Make the ISO with EasyBoot.
Then write the disk image to a USB flash drive with UltraISO.
When booting EasyBoot ISO from VirtualBox; I do not get any problem,
but when I boot with USB FLash Drive (EasyBoot menu) on a computer; Do not do anything in addition to the emergence of message when you enter the Windows XP
cdboot: memory overflow error.
and all reload menu
Knowing that ISO components are
[0] Boot From HD Command: swap;boot 80
[1] Windows 8 pro 86-64 Command: run /bootmgr
[2] Windows XP Pro SP3 Command: run winxp.bif
[3] Hiren's Boot CD v15.1 Command: bootinfotable;run isolinux.bin
[4] Partition Magic & Ghost Command: run ghpm.bif
[5] Memtest86+ V4.20 Command: run mt420.bif
[6] Reboot PC Command: reboot
Confirm it all works perfectly through Vertalbox when use ISO file
Please help

@Mr-Zero
Welcome to EasyBoot @Mr-Zero
Quote: "cdboot: memory overflow error"
Hmm... Don't for the moment recall what that was caused by... 
However several of your inputs to EasyBoot menu run from USB doesn't work from USB drive
[0] Boot From HD Command: swap;boot 80 Correct!
[1] Windows 8 pro 86-64 Command: run /bootmgr Basically correct, but can behave strange from a USB harddisk unit (USBstick is never causing problem)
[2] Windows XP Pro SP3 Command: run winxp.bif Can never work correctly. Please read post nr;11 above how to integrate setup of WinXP
[3] Hiren's Boot CD v15.1 Command: bootinfotable;run isolinux.bin Not recommended from USB drive - read post nr;8 HERE
[4] Partition Magic & Ghost Command: run ghpm.bif Unsure what this is
[5] Memtest86+ V4.20 Command: run mt420.bif Have my doubt this can work from USB drive as I'm unsure what kind of files you are using!
However, Hiren_v15.1 has this program - so what reason is it to have a 'double option' to run this program?
[6] Reboot PC Command: reboot Correct!
If your goal is to run setup of WinXP from USB you must use mentioned method in post nr;11 above
When done continue to test Win8 etcetera...
Remember to never integrate all things at once - start with WinXP and extend the build one by one, to see where the problem shows up
Note please don't double-post - I deleted your other post with same request!

Eeee... What problem is the main issue here
As described in post nr; 13 above
You cannot simply burn to USB drive and expect things works the same as from CD\DVD-unit
In some aspects there are huge differences between using CD\DVD-unit comparing to USB drive
Especially setup of WinXP is totally different from USB drive comparing to CD\DVD-unit 
I recommend following:
Start with integrating WinXP (read instructions in post nr; 11 above).
Also test setup is working from USB drive before continue to next step.
When working, come back for instructions how to procedure
DO NOT create everything at once. Use 'step-by-step' method (one step at time)!

Okay, this means you can run setup of WinXP from USB stick (correct me if I have misunderstood what you mean )
Next step is to:
1. Create setup of Win8 in EasyBoot (you already have success in that part in post nr; 12)
2. Integrate Hiren using method described in post nr; 8 HERE
3. And integrate Partition Magic & Ghost using menu command: run ghpm.bif (however, unsure what this is)
4. To create menu command that launch setup of WinXP, you download my script-collection (you have download below in every post I write in this forum).
Open folder 'USB_Resources' ín downloaded script-collection and copy ' setupxp.img' to folder ezboot.
Use menu command in EasyBoot: run setupxp.img
Attention!
Do not integrate WinXP as you already have done that part to USB stick
Further more, it is totally pointless integrating 'Memtest86' into EasyBoot as it already is present in Hiren
Now create ISO in EasyBoot (tick only 'Joliet when creating ISO)
Test ISO that all software is working correctly
And now to the final part:
A. Copy contents of folder disk1 to the USB stick (this takes some time)
B. Open text file 'menu.lst' on USB stick with Notepad and delete all text and replace with this text:
title Start EasyBoot
find --set-root /ezboot/ezldr
chainloader --raw /ezboot/ezldr
title Windows XP/2000/2003 Second part
find --set-root --ignore-floppies /NTLDR
chainloader /NTLDR
Test and see how it works

At first I thank you for the wonderful effort
- All the steps are clear and easy but I had a problem when tested Windows XP for installation was very, very slow
- I want to work on NTFS file system in addition to love Added easeus partition Master "easeus.iso"
With sincere thanks and appreciation
Knowing that "EasyBoot" does not work with NTFS
How does it work?

Yes this is correct if using 'standard solution' as EasyBoot core cannot be run from NTFS, only from FAT or FAT32!
However, I have found a way to run EasyBoot from NTFS, and still be able to launch different setups or ISO-files from such NTFS-file-system.
I needed NTFS to run VHD-file and launch that file from EasyBoot created problems
This is what you can do to overcome this 'mission impossible'
Solution is to use 'grub-kicker-images' similar to the 'setupxp.img' that is mentioned in post nr; 18
To make it even smoother, you can make EasyBoot create a 'super-ISO-file' like this:
All kind of 'rescue-ISO-files' based on NT6-systems (NT6 is Vista\Win7\Win8\server-2008 comparing to NT5-systems that are typically WinXP with its folder I386 - you can't deny the difference between this OP-systems - it's a major difference)
Typically 'rescue' ISO-files based on NT6 is 'MsDart60\67\70' etcetera.
To see differences open ISO-file (use UltraIso) and if there is a folder 'boot', 'EFI' and ' SOURCES' you can bet that it is a NT6-system rescue ISO-file (even ghost14 and later use NT6 as 'rescue-ISO-files)
All this ISO-files can be run from inside of folder EZBOOT using 'run ***.iso' as menu command
Unfortunately some other 'systems' cannot be run from NTFS - typically Linux and\or similar have problems with NTFS-file system
However, if using USB harddrive, you can create a separate FAT32 partition and put Linux and other FAT-32 depended ISO-files or systems (Ylmf_OS_3.0.ISO as example) to this FAT32 partition, and still be able to launch from EasyBoot menu which in turn is run from NTFS-file-system - does it sounds strange to you
Okay it may sound strange, and how did I managed to launch EasyBoot from that NTFS-file -system?
This is how it is done - Do this simple test your self;
1. Find some NT6-based-rescue-ISO (take 'EASEUS9BootCD.iso' or MsDart60 or similar ISO that are all based on NT6-system) and copy ISO to folder EZBOOT, use menu command; run EASEUS9BootCD.iso (or whatever name you use to iso-file)
Tick 'Joliet' when creating ISO in EasyBoot
2. Use my script 'easyboot-usb_v2.script' and tick 'Force format to NTFS (Default is FAT32)' and in 'Optional-Chose visual boot options' you tick 'Launch ISO\image-file directly' (if you are amused you can also tick for 'Grub-menu with animated theme'). Now press 'Start' and follow instructions from script.
Point to ISO created by EasyBoot to use as target ISO-file when script asks for the location of ISO-file.
Note: Even if you use a USB harddrive with two partitions - and where partition one (BOOT partition) should be NTFS and partition two is FAT32, script automatically detects the 'BOOT-partition' and always leaving second partition untouched.
In fact, script can handle 4 partitions and still find the first partition (BOOT-partition)
Script also refuse to run if having several USB drives in use to avoid lost of 'personal' DATA
It's a nifty (clever) script if I may say so
3. There is a button in script to test USB drive, but may not work correctly as you most likely need 1024 MB RAM to not get BSOD (Blue-Screen-Of-Death) when ISO is launched - no harm to your computer - test simply halts.
I'm in a progress to update scripts in this matter...
Anyway, you are recommended to run USB drive in 'reality' (reboot and test USB drive)
You will notice that EasyBoot can be run from NTFS
Though this shouldn't be possible, but can be done - hurray 
ATTENTION! Read carefully 'README.html' before using scripts, especially if run scripts from a NT6-system (Vista\Win7\Win8) as UAC (User-Account-Control) must be set to lowest level (script use command-line-tools that cannot be executed if UAC isn't set to lowest rate)
There are some peculiarities when using NTFS as file-system from USB drive!
You cannot use 'vfloppy' to launch floppy images (vfloppy ***.img) - must be FAT or FAT32
Use 'run' as menu command
Menu command 'swap;boot 80' to start from the internal harddisk (usually with Windows installed) may not work correctly
To solve this you copy 'harddisk.img' from folder 'balder\USB_Resources' (my scriptcollection) to folder EZBOOT and use menu command: run harddisk.img
This ensure computer boot from first internal harddisk unit in your computer - skipping any boot to USB harddisk
This is just a start to 'your new journey' how EasyBoot can be used
Don't forget to use search-button in upper right corner in this forum (search also for 'Older' topics - a lot of solutions can be found this way)
Finally, don't get disappointed if not everything can be run using NTFS-solution to EasyBoot - there are of course some limits to what can be done (life is full of possibilities but unfortunately also impossibilities)
EDIT:
Script has been updated (especially USB drive test is updated to allocate 1024 MB RAM during test)
Replace whole folder 'balder' with downloaded folder 'balder'
regards balder
