Binh,
I think you are on the right track here Binh, there is a problem using GeoShell and Nu2Menu together with winpe and UBCD4Win. Don’t think it’s possible to combine this two. ATTENTION! Please note that I use Sherpya plugin in BartPe. Sherpya do not use GeoShell and Nu2Menu (although Nu2Menu must be engaged when using Sherpya).
However, You have to use Sherpya plugin in bartpe. And then rename that specific i386 folder to BART, leave UBCD4Win in original shape, as I did – this works perfectly.
I suggest that you start with one thing a time, meaning; Start with bartpe folder (i386 and use Sherpya plugin) rename this i386 folder to BART, and as you did, edit setupldr.bin inside BART to point to BART, instead of i386 and finaly edit bootloader.bin (maybe named bart.bin) to point to BART and used it in EasyBoot as usual; run bart.bin. When this seems to function, go ahead with next project - combining BART (minipe) and UBCD4Win.
Sorry if you lost a CD (hope you use CD-RW). Why not download Microsoft Virtual PC? Use trial version fore a while. With this utility you are able to use ISO file, as it was a CD inside your computer.
Some notes:
My autorun.inf file looks like this.
;[autorun]
;open=Programs\nu2menu\nu2menu.exe
My winbom .ini file looks like this:
[Factory]
WinBOMType=WinPE
Reseal=No
[WinPE]
Restart=No
[PnPDriverUpdate]
[PnPDrivers]
[NetCards]
[UpdateInis]
[FactoryRunOnce]
[Branding]
[AppPreInstall]
Keep up the good work…

Hi Eureka,
Sorry for my slow understanding. As you know I am not an IT person, thus trying to understand such IT knowledge is too difficult for me already. Your instructions are clear but because I do not understand the nature of the work (how all these plugins work) that's why I could not follow. Now, you mention:
You have to use Sherpya plugin in bartpe[QUOTE]
What should I do with it actually?? You mean I should use Windows XPE plugin of Sherpya instead of GeoShell and Nu2Menu? But how? I really have no idea about that and it seems this is too much beyond my capability? Also, the autorun.inf: so you have only one autorun.inf for both systems? But then they must use the same command, right? But as I have 2 Nu2Menu with different folder names, so I have 2 autorun.inf files with different commands (folders). So, how can I combine them??
I thought it was that simple to combine these 2 nice CDs together, but now it seems too hard to me. Maybe I'd better use 2 separate CDs instead. Thanks anyway.

Binh,
Like to start with: “Your instructions are clear…” Thanks Binh.
“You mean I should use Windows XPE plugin of Sherpya instead of GeoShell and Nu2Menu?” Yes that’s what I mean. But this means a lot of work. There is lot of plugin to snatch/find on Internet that (lazy?) people like my self uses.
However, in most cases you have to make changes according to plugin when using Sherpya.
In Sherpya plugin you will find “xpe-custom.inf” In this file you are able to make changes (meaning customizing some elements behaviour).
Here you have two examples on how plugin works in Sherpya.
Structure showing ghost looks like this: BartPe\plugin\ghost\files
To clear things up; BartPe folder\plugin folder\ghost folder\files folder
Note: You must place all files according to the specific program in “files” folder together with *.inf file. See examples here on different *.inf files:
This is how ghost.inf file looks like.

Attention! You must use nu2menu together with Sherpya. Sherpya seems to do some kind of “wrapping” according to nu2meny. Sherpya has also an excellent support for Internet (broadband) connection. There are a lot of brilliant people out there on Internet – “Sherpya” is absolutely one of this that has my 100% respect (thanks Sherpya).
Hope I have giving you some hint how to solve your problems – and please do not “downgrade” your own capacity – I think you are able to do more than you now. As I said before, take one step a time. Test and go further with next. I dear not to tell you how many mistakes I have done to come to this point – and I’m still far from “well learned”.
Haven’t used English for about 30 years, witch limits my capacity to help other people here – but still trying do my very best (I hope).
Keep up the good work…

Eureka,
Thanks you for your detailed instructions. However, I am sorry to say that I could not follow as it will take me a lot of time, which I do not have right now. Also, it is too difficult for me to built all these plugins myself.
I just want to clarify one more thing, as you mentioned here last post:
there is a problem using GeoShell and Nu2Menu together with winpe and UBCD4Win. Don’t think it’s possible to combine this two[QUOTE]
I have UBCD4Win and MinPE, which are both Bart's PE for windows I got from UBCD for Windows websites (http://ubcd4win.com/) and their forums. Thus, none of them are winpe as you mentioned. So, could they be combined in one CD without using Sherpya?? I will give it a last try. But could you give me instructions to combine the autorun.inf. Before what I did was simply putting the command lines together like this:
[CODE]
[autorun]
open=Programs\nu2menu\nu2menu.exe
open=Programs\nu2menu1\nu2menu.exe
The second line refer to the folder which I did change in UBCD4Win. As I did not know anything about programming language, I did it just as a blind trial. Now I think maybe this has cause the problems of mixing up 2 system when booting?? Am I correct?? So what should I do with the autorun.inf?? I want something like if command to choose among alternatives. Sorry for asking again as I do not understand the computer language.
I also did change the folder name of Geoshell in UBCD4Win (Goeshell2 as oppose to GoeShell in MiniPE) and all the incidences in its .inf and .xml files (which I do not sure if I did it right). BTW, I got MiniPE as an ISO file so I could not do any change in it. I could only rebuilt UBCD4Win from scratch.
Please understand that I could not follow with Sherpya. And I am sorry if I have to give up after this last try, of course after you give me the instructions on the autorun.inf.
Thank you again Eureka.
Binh

Binh,
I have found the complete list of plugin and files according to UBCD4Win. But can't find any link on Internet with complete list of plugin and necessary files according to "MinPE".
Would you be so kind and give me the exact link where to download files and plugin according to “minpe”, so I can go ahead with this project.
In fact, I have “vacuum cleaned” the Internet without finding this “minpe”.
Searching “minpe” only gives mismatch results.
Waiting on your respond…

Binh,
Been testing (and bending) things around without success. Sorry, I just think you have to accept the fact that there is a major problem using UBCD together with minipe (yes, finally found one). Sorry couldn't find any solution about this issue.
Still want to recommend Sherpya plugin………(!)
Keep up the good work

Hi!
I have the follow problem!
I created Easyboot ISO with two Windows XP Professional
1.WinXPpro ServicePack2 ger "\disk1\XPDE"
2.WinXPpro ServicePack2 eng "\disk1\XPEN"
I started installation WinXP! WinXP formated HDD, then copied all files to hdd (how ussualy), but then after reboot, windows said me that the files for installatin could not be found and the path of Service Pack 2 CD is wrong <CD-ROM\i386\>
Then I wrote manual <CD-ROM\XPDE\i386> - installation continued, but every file i must write this path!
The same I have under XPger and XPeng! What did i wrong?
P.S. I can install windows complete, but i must always write this path <CD-ROM\XPDE\i386>
I hope to your help!
Sorry for my bad english!

Hi Levbald!
Seems there is some problem with path in installation folders.
I suggest you use a “clean” i386 folder without sp2 (i386 in original shape), just to make sure you on the right track when working with EasyBoot. Then change name of i386 (still without sp2). I mean you must start with using i386 winXP folder that still is in absolutely original format.
If this works, test with slipstreamed version (sp2 ) of i386 (keep original name= i386). If this works, finally change name of i386 and see what’s happening.
Sorry to tell you, but it’s easy (to easy) to end on “bad track” when working with this stuff.
I must point out that I have never made such DVD holding several i386 directories.
As I said earlier it’s easy to end on “bad track” when dealing with this stuff.
Perhaps somebody else have a clue how to deal with this problem?

Hi there!
You all do a great work outhere. However, my problem is very complex, and I would like to ask for assistance on a matter: I have built a BartPE cd, with lots of stuff. I also created the Power Quest Partition Magic image, using the BartPE PM plugin... My problem is: when I burn the BartPE CD it works perfectly, the GUI is OK ( I use Sherpya's XPE plugin), BUT when I burn the CD created with EZBoot (this great piece of software) containing: BartPE, PM 8.0 for DOS and other DOS/Linux images the BartPE GUI looses all the graphics (such as the start menu, the toolbars, etc) but all the other images work O.K. (such as PM8.0 for DOS)
I used, at first, a 640x480 background image, 8 bits in depth, this result. I changed to 800x600x16, believing that the VGA divers used by EZBoot don't work well with the ones BartPE uses, however, I got the same result, the statusbar appears, no Start Menu, no toolbars, and minimised windows don't show on the taskbar. My belief is that there is either something I did wrong, when creating the EZBoot ISO, or that EZBoot somehow does not work well with perinstalled enviroiments (such as BartPE). Please help, since I ran out of ideas! Thank you all and keep up the good work.

Hi Robintel
What version of EasyBoot do you use?
1. If using version: “506 472”, I suggest you set screen mode to 256 Color (8 bits).
2. When making ISO-file, try with using only “Optimize” as option.
Finally, reinstall EasyBoot completely (sometimes EasyBoot gets corrupt).
