hello again
After you design your menu and save it do the following:
1) Copy ALL files and folders in the root of the ERD CD to your EasyBoot\disk1 folder and rename the i386 folder to ERD1
2) use Ultraiso to save the boot file from the ERD CD and name it ERD1.dat (without the Quotes) save it in the EasyBoot\disk1\ezboot folder. It should be a 2k file.
3) now you must hex edit the following 2 files:
a) ERD1.dat
b) Setupldr.bin found in the ERD1 folder, it is read only you must remove that attribute before editing.
c) and edit (not hex edit) the file Txtsetup.sif also found in the ERD1 folder, it is read only also so you must remove that attribute before editing.
Edit these 3 files as outlined here:
http://flyakite.msfnhosting.com/erd_commander.htm
Files ERD1.dat and Setupldr.bin MUST be Hex edited.
A good Hex editor can be found here: www.bpsoft.com
it is the one used at the site above.
How to edit these files is also at that site so i will not go into too much detail here, just keep in mind that when you hex edit them you must change the references in them from "i386" to ERD1 all in CAPITAL letters.
ERD1.dat will have one reference and
Setupldr.bin will have 4.
leave them in the same folder.
When you edit (not hex edit) Txtsetup.sif change this line from:
SetupSourcePath = "\"
to:
SetupSourcePath = "\ERD1\" (with the Quotes)
just do a search for SourcePath to locate this line.
Now that you edited the 3 files and put them back in their rightful place, open EasyBoot again, if it is not open already, and go to the tab named "MENU" and click on the ERD Menu item towards the bottom of the window,
At the top of this same window where it says "command" type in run ERD1.DAT
arrange everything else the way you like and save.
Now make the iso with Cdimage.exe with this batch
cdimage.exe -lERD_EZB -t08/23/2001,09:00:00 -bC:\EasyBoot\disk1\ezboot\loader.bin -h -o -m -j1 C:\EasyBoot\disk1 C:\EasyBoot\iso\ERD_EZB.iso
all in a single line.
The reason I use Cdimage and not EasyBoot to make the iso is that when i made the iso with EasyBoot
some of the programs in ERD Commander did not work properly but when I made it with Cdimage they worked.
Hope this helps (again)
later...

The file structure should look like this:
c:\Easyboot
disk1
-Documents and settings
-ERD1
-Fonts
-Help
-Inf
-Msagent
-System32
-Winsxs
Biosinfo.inf
Bootfix.bin (remove this one)
Ntdetect.com
Setupldr.bin (hex edited)
Spcmdcon.sys
Txtsetup.sif (edited)
-ezboot
loader.bin
ERD1.DAT
menu.ezb (your menu file)
(and the other files)
WIN51
WIN51IP
WIN51IP.SP1
WINBOM.INI
XPBOOT.BIN
Make sure the files are where they should be bvefore making the iso.
Follow the steps carefully and it should work, it did for me.

I noticed you said that when you loaded "ERD.DAT" in my instructions I sugested to name it "ERD1.DAT", you can name it "ERD.DAT" but make sure you "HEX EDIT" like it says here:
http://flyakite.msfnhosting.com/erd_commander.htm
if you do that it will work.
I modified my previous post to direct you to the correct page
that shows you how to Hex edit the necessary files.
Dont forget to make the iso like i said in my previous post.
later...

This is where the problem is, some files are in the wrong place.
These folders Must be in the disk1 folder
DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS
ERD1 (renamed from i386)
ezboot
and these files Must be in the disk1 folder
WIN51
WIN51IP
WIN51IP.SP1
WINBOM.INI
These folders Must be in the ERD1 folder,
FONTS
HELP
INF
MSAGENT
SYSTEM32
WINSXS
and these files also in the ERD1 folder
BIOSINFO.INF
BOOTFIX.BIN (remove this one so that ERD boots directly without pressing a key)
NTDETECT.COM
SETUPLDR.BIN (already hex edited)
SPCMDCON.SYS
TXTSETUP.SIF (already edited)
XPBOOT.BIN
also these files Must be in the ezboot folder
LOADER.BIN
ERD1.DAT
MENU.EZB (use the one you used to make your menu)
plus all the other files that are normally there
The final structure should look like the one in my previous post.
use this batch to make the iso
cdimage.exe -lERD_EZB -t08/23/2001,09:00:00 -bC:\EasyBoot\disk1\ezboot\loader.bin -h -j1 -o -m C:\EasyBoot\disk1 C:\EasyBoot\iso\ERD_EZB.iso
also make sure that your computer is set to boot from the cd-rom first in the bios.
later...

Kapa, looking at your text, I understand you are frustrated... perhaps, you never tried or saw PE Builder in action. Check out this thing here... I assume you might want to try out something new there instead of just a normal ERD Commander
http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/
And ofcourse, when you're amazed you might want to add this thing in your menu, search for PE Builder using that big Search button at the top. I assume you will not be disappointed.
Anyways, I'll be back soon with action! If this matter did not get solved ;)
