As you are a new member to EasyBoot community, I say welcome @Mrtritolo

I'm a little bit confused what and how you integrate Hiren into EasyBoot ???

Quote: "I create menu ecc"
1. Sure, but what menu command did you use ???
2. Did you copy folder HBCD to the root of EasyBoot (the root of Easyboot is folder disk1 if you wonder) ???

Anyway.... Test this:
1. Extract folder HBCD and file HBCD Menu.cmd from Hiren ISO-file to folder disk1 in EasyBoot
2. In EasyBoot use menu command:  bootinfotable;run /hbcd/isolinux.bin
3. You can - if needed - check "Joliet" when creating ISO in EasyBoot (could be needed in case you also have knoppix or similar utility onboard your final Easyboot build).

Note: Given solution above only works from CD\DVD and not from USB :O

And finally, your English is not any problem - works okay for me - don't worry :;):

Thanks for enlighten me about that problem
He, he you have "sharp" eyes @madar :;):

Anyway... Script-collection has been heavily updated to fully support the new updated EasyBoot (EasyBoot_v6.5)

Script-collection should (hopefully) still support older version of EasyBoot.

Unfortunately there are some problems related if you updated to EasyBoot_v6.5
These problems are mainly related to USB.
Option in EasyBoot_v6.5 to "Burn" (Write USB Disk) Easyboot build to USB directly, is an excellent improvement.
However this works okay as long you do not plan to integrate WinPE.ISO based on NT5-systems (typically ERD, BartPe or similar) or Hiren's BOOT-CD_v14*
Note: There is no problem launching NT6-PE.ISO-files (typically MsDart65 or Ghost15-rescue-iso etcetera) - this works from CD\DVD and from USB drive.
But Launching Hiren_v14* doesn't work from USB drive but okay from CD\DVD unit!

However launching NT5-PE.ISO (typically ERD5 or similar), works okay from CD\DVD but not from USB if run EasyBoot_v6.5 (but you still must use my script "easyboot-iso.script" and also check: "Run ISO from RAM" in script to integrate NT5-PE.ISO-files into EasyBoot).
And as told, this works excellent from CD\DVD, but not from USB drive :(
But again my scripts is the help you might need.
Read the full story below...

To sum up:
1. You can launch anything (use method with my script etcetera) in the same way from any version of EasyBoot menu as long as you are using CD\DVD unit.
2. You cannot launch NT5-PE.ISO (typically ERD5 or similar NT5-system based WinPE) from USB if using EasyBoot_v65.
3. You cannot launch Hiren_v14* from USB in the way we used before (use my script "easyboot-Hiren_v14.script*").
Read explanation below...

These problems seems to be related to following:
EasyBoot_v6.5 inject its own MBR to USB which then launch "boot-loader" on the root of USB (file ezldr).
Unfortunately this solution seems to interfere to grub
However I'm pretty sure the problem is more related to  how files are written to USB disk - with help from UltraIso_v9.5.
As script use "grub-kicker-image" to launch "NT5-PE-systems", it flips out and halt.
Same problem is option to directly launch grldr (grub). It works from CD\DVD but not from USB drive.

To solve this problems, an major update has been made to "easyboot-grub-iso.script"
If run "EasyBoot_v6.5" and want "NT5-PE-systems" onboard your Easyboot-build, do following steps:

1. Use "easyboot-iso.script" to integrate your NT5-PE (typically ERD5 or similar). Check "Run ISO from RAM" as this is an NT5-PE-system.
2. When finished with your EasyBoot menu, activate "easyboot-grub-iso.script" and push directly to "Make USB bootable and transfer ISO-build to USB".
Script now makes USB drive bootable with grub MBR, followed by copying EasyBoot-build to USB drive.
Note: If run "EasyBoot_v6.5" you do not need to first push button "Create ISO-File"!

As told - another problem that is related to EasyBoot_v6.5 is run Hiren from USB (especially Hiren_v14*) - it doesn't work :(
To solve this "easyboot-hiren_v14*.script" has been updated as well.

Attention! I have now uploaded updated script-collection!
Please save your "old" folder "balder" with old scripts just in case you prefer to still run earlier version of EasyBoot :cool:

Hi balder, here is a solution for integrating Hiren's 14 into boot menu of EasyBoot V6.5 (works on Bootable USB and CD/DVD):

Step #1: Extract all files and folders from Hiren's.BootCD.14.1.iso to "c:\easyboot\disk1" with UltraISO (or simmilar utilities)

Step #2: Copy both files of 'isolinux' and 'syslinux' from "c:\easyboot\resource' to 'c:\easyboot\disk1\ezboot'

Step #3: Use 'run /HBCD/isolinux.cfg' as menu command to load Hiren's BootCD

@xoben

Yes that did it :;):

Thanks!
I start at once make needed changes to "easyboot-hiren_v14*.script
But of course, anyone can do it "manually" as described :cool:

However, you still cannot launch grub boot-loader from USB if using UltraIso_v9.5 to write EasyBoot-files to USB drive.
There seems to be some issue how files are written to USB drive.
Unfortunately as grub is needed to launch NT5-PE.ISO-files, I'm not able to directly write files using Option in EasyBoot ("BURN ==> Write files to USB...")
Can this be solved ???

regards balder

What "xp images" are you talking about ???
Is it ISO-files or what do you mean ???

Note: I need more information to solve your problems.
Let's put it in this way; I want to drive my buss to ROM but I can't - what can I do?
Please more understandable information is needed to solve your request :O

Understand??

Yes that was much better :;):

Easiest way to integrate your two different WinXP setup-builds into EasyBoot, is to use my script "easyboot-AIO.script"!
Note1: you cannot launch ISO-file as it is and then run setup from ISO :O
Note2: Solution above only works for setup from CD\DVD-unit and not from USB drive!

Anyway, download script-collection (you have download link below in every post I write in this forum)
It's important you do a fresh download (I updated script yesterday as there was a bug in some of them).
Read carefully "READ_ME.html" inside folder "balder".
Also push the little "help-button" in each script you use before complaining :cool:

Quote: "I also have an image of winpe start by setting it in the same way but it gives me an error."
Sure it gives you error - as ISO for NT5-systems are "hard-coded".
You cannot directly launch WinPE-ISO built from NT5-source (typically NT5-systems are Win-2000, Server-2003, WinXP etcetera = you have an folder i386 inside ISO-file, which is typical for these systems).

So is it possible to at all launch WinPE-ISO built from NT5-source without extracting contents of ISO to EasyBoot\disk1 ???
Yes it is - but you need workaround to fix this issue.
And that workaround is script "easyboot-iso.script" :laugh:

Check "Run ISO from RAM" in script - now you can launch WinPE-ISO as it is.
Note: If you plan to integrate WinPE-NT6-ISO (typically NT6-systems are Vista, Windows-7, server-2008 and the common Windows-8. All this OP-systems are NT6-based).
If using this kind of WinPE, you can use the simpel menu command "run winpe.iso" - or whatever name you use to your different WinPE-ISO-files.
