1)  Open geexbox-0.98.7-en.i386.iso by UltraISO, extract all files and folders to 'c:\easyboot\disk1', and save the boot image file to 'c:\easyboot\disk1\ezboot\geexbox.bif', then set 'bootinfotable;run geexbox.bif' as command of a menu item.
2) Use mkisofs to create an ISO:
   mkisofs -quiet -no-pad -V BootMenu -z -r -J -N -no-emul-boot -b ezboot/loader.bin -o iso/mycd.iso disk1

It possible to make the iso from Windows?. If I make out the Iso of the normal way, after pulling out the Geexbox the computer goes off .

I have tried to make the Iso from linux, but I get an error message.

Evidently I do not dominate the linux. But I need the Geexbox.  Somebody can help me. Thanks.

Yes. You can get mkisofs for Win32 from < http://dw.ezbsys.net/mkisofs.exe > .

I'm sorry, but you can tell me that I am doing wrong...

C:\>mkisofs -quiet -no-pad -V BootMenu -z -r -J -N -no-emul-boot -b ezboot/loade
r.bin -o iso/mycd.iso disk1

The files are located in...
c:\easyboot\disk1

Thanks...

Put mkisofs.exe in c:\easyboot folder, then run it.

C:\EasyBoot\>mkisofs -quiet -no-pad -V BootMenu -z -r -J -N -no-emul-boot -b ezboot/loade
r.bin -o iso/mycd.iso disk1

It works...  thanks
The key is to have the directory ISO or to eliminate it of the sentence...
mkisofs -quiet -no-pad -V BootMenu -z -r -J -N -no-emul-boot -b ezboot/loader.bin -o iso/:( mycd.iso disk1

One million of thanks
