For partition magic, please use a sample image from http://www.ezbsys.com/download/pm8.img .
ERD 2003 works as windows nt/2000/xp, you can find guide from help file.

it is correct for erd commander to copy i386 folder to easyboot-disk1 and set command as run w2ksect.bin? I'm sorry to bother you about this problem but simply i cant manage to make a bootable cd with erd commander and i read the practical guide, i think that only i can't understand how to do it, maybe i am not so smart

Sorry if I’m crushing in here, but what about testing following example?
Creating dos-environments – here showing pqmagic.
Create a folder named pqm in easyboot\disk1 and put necessary files according to pqmagic in this “pqm”-folder.
Use WinXP (or WinMe, Win98) to create a bootable floppy, or download from Internet.
This boot floppy was made thru WinXP-pro.
l-------------------------------------------------
Note: I have left out country codes with “?” They are automatically inserted in an appropriated way when WinXP creates the boot floppy.
But you still need to do some changes in autoexec.bat and config.sys. You also need to put in two other files in this boot floppy. The two files are: VIDE-CDD.SYS (or similar) and MSCDEX (or similar).
However Autoexec.bat should look like this:
loadhigh MSCDEX /D:MSCD001 /L:X
mode con codepage prepare=((???) ega.cpi)
mode con codepage select=???
keyb ??,,keybrd.sys
loadhigh mouse
loadhigh mouseusb
PATH=a:\;a:\dos;x:\pqm
loadhigh pqmagic.exe
--------------------------------------------------
Config.sys should look like this:
DOS=HIGH,UMB
buffers=40
device=display.sys con=(ega,,1)
DEVICE=VIDE-CDD.SYS /D:MSCD001
--------------------------------------------------
Download Winimage from: http://www.winimage.com/ or use UltraISO and create the bootable image using this floppy as source. Use this image in Easyboot to start pqmagic.
As you can figure out above, the CD/DVD-reader unit is “renamed” with a DOS-command to letter X. That means you have to start from unit one of CD/DVD-readers, not the second unit (in case there are several CD/DVD units).
Note: In this example VIDE-CDD.SYS is used to support CD/DVD-reader in DOS, and of course MSCDEX . You may need/use (or own) another SYS-file supporting your CD/DVD-reader, but you always need MSCDEX (or similar) in autoexec.bat to support CD/DVD-reader in DOS.
Sorry about my fragmented English – hope you don’t mind?

He, he – forgot a little code. I also put in mouse support – as you can see in the autoexec.bat-file. Mouse support for PS/2 and mouse connected thru usb. You should be able to find this files on Internet (search “free dos”). You can also as option, remove the two command lines according to mouse support.

1) Copy i386 folder to c:\easyboot\disk1
2) Use 'run w2ksect.bin' to load

I copy i386 to easyboot/disk1 and i set command to "run w2sect.bin" but it say "press any key to return" and when i press a key it returns to the main menu. Please if you have time try to experiment yourself with erd commander because it doesn't work. I'ts not just erd commander, recovery manager from winternals is the same and other programs like these. I'm sorry to bother you with this problem but i spend a lot of time with that problem and i couldn't resolve it.

I followed the instructions on this page and finally made ERD commander boot.
here http://flyakite.msfnhosting.com/
go to the "EDR Commander 2003" section
Dont forget to follow the instructions on the "Testing & Burning" section to make the ISO.
The tools needed are in the "Download" section. (CDimage)
For some reason when I made the ISO with EasyBoot ERD booted but not all the programs worked.
This is the batch file I used to make the ISO. This is all in only a single line inside the batch file.
cdimage.exe -lMULTI_BOOT -t08/23/2001,09:00:00 -bC:\EasyBoot\disk1\ezboot\loader.bin -h -j1 -o -m C:\EasyBoot\disk1 C:\EasyBoot\iso\MULTI_BOOT.iso
hope this helps
later...
