I would like each menu item in my Easy Boot menu to have it's own folder under the disk 1 folder.  Totally independant of the disk 1 folder.

In other words - In regard to multiple os's, the examples in the Easy Boot help suggest to have the root files of each os in the disk 1 folder and put i386 and the rest under that (or at least that's how it appears).  Let's take Windows XP for a start.  How can I setup Windows XP to load by having a folder under disk 1 called WinXP that will have the Windows boot files and have i386 and the rest of the folders under that (WinXP)?  Easy Boot\disk 1\WinXP\i386.

Another example would be BartPE.  It's suggested here to put BartPE's root files in the disk 1 folder and put the program files under that.  But what if I want to have a folder under disk 1 called BartPE and put the root or boot files there and put the program files under that.

How would I set these situations up?  Would I have to set up the .bif file differently?  Would the Command on the Menu tab be entered differently?

thanks

Please find in help file for 'Create Nin1 bootable CD/DVD with multiple Windows NT/2000/XP' in the 'Pratical Guide' section.

The helpfile isn't helpful enough, I think the biggest question everyone has is how we can put the CDs into their own folders. The best thing to do in my opinion would be to make a driver that reads .isos and emulates them on the inserted CD.
For example, I would put two .isos on the CD, WinXP and Win98, and then I would select one from EasyBoot's menu, and it would act just like as if that .iso was inserted in the drive. That way all programs would work instantly, with no hassle. Could this even be done, and also, how can I emulate it?

I strongly suggest you read the following:

It is designed to work with CDSHELL but it works with EasyBoot. This is the method I use
