Hello EasyBoot friends!
First I would like to say thank you to the brilliant heureka that made it possible to start and run EasyBoot from USB devices. Thank you heureka!
Secondly I have put together an “easy to get starting kit” and made it downloadable from my site here: http://web.telia.com/~u75404714/balder.html Download and enjoy.
Thank you to xoben and the EasyBoot development team for this lovely program/utility that now can boot from USB devices as well!
The future is already here!
Best wishes from balder

balder,
I read your instructions found here http://web.telia.com/~u75404714/instruction.html
but for some reason I don't get the same results.
When i double click on winbuilder a Download Centre window comes up. If I close that window then I see the script tab but everything else is blank, there is no USB-Easyboot-script like on your picture.
Thanks.

@Orochi
Welcome to this forum Orochi 
I’m sorry to announce that I at present time am in a bit of hurry (bought a new house=plenty much to do) 
Some notes…
When you run EasyBoot from USB, most applications is not launched in the “EasyBoot traditionally way”. Some applications runs (started as usual using “run XXX.ima”). Plenty of “old” floppy images like Ghost, pqmagic.IMA, acroima9.ima etcetera can be launched as usual. Note: acronis products started using an upsized floppy image, seems to run well.
I do have in position several brand new updated USB-EasyBoot-scripts developed by me to offer you (free of charge of course, but – as usual - used at your own risk).
Download number one from here (please read instructions "If you not are familiar with Winbuilder" how to start script before downloading)
Linux applications can mostly be launched using EasyBoot on USB device. But not in that traditionally way. I instead use “kicker.images” (floppy image whit grub loader that launch ISO;s). Example: I have SLAX on my USB stick, runs like a dream.
Another interesting development is possibility to activate USB-2 in “BIOS-mode”. Some computers (motherboards), at least some new ones automatically use USB-2 already in “BIOS-mode”, but some not (especially those used some years). I can activate USB-2 (launched by a kicker-image from EasyBoot on USB-device) witch heavily increase read speed from USB-device. Maybe not always necessary - but still useful. I can tell you later about this part.
Note: I’m heavily occupied   at present time (need some days to work on the house before I have time to give you some more information. Let’s say a day or two…). In meantime, please test script and tell me how it works.
Attention: Download updated 17:03
Regards balder

balder thank you for your response.
[QUOTE]need some days to work on the house before I have time to give you some more information[CODE]
I am of course prepared to wait as long as needed. Take your, time by all means.
I am not familiar with Winbuilder at all. When i execute winbuilder.exe I get ths screen. 
I guess in your instructions you skip few steps as you probably assume that most people are familiar with that application.
I would really appreciate if you could dissect for me the exact process of how to use your script.
Meanwhile I tired using the USB+EZboot tutorial
http://www.ezbsystems.com/cgi-bin....;hl=usb
and I had some success. The USB was able to boot to EZboot menu and I could even Launch Acronis and few dos based IMA files. I was, however, unable to launch any of the programs that depend on the linux kernel, like Paragon and Hiren BootCD 9.9.
If you know how to fix this problem with linux based applications under EZboot on USB I would really appreciate it.

1. Delete you present folder winbuilder.
2. Please read instructions here
3. Do a completely new download as well from here when you have read instructions
4. WHEN YOU HAVE LAUNCHED WINBUILDER, DO NOT PUSH ON DOWNLOAD BUTTON IN THE UPPER RIGHT CORNER Â 
I’m sure you soon can handle situation to the best

balder I beg your pardon. My total commander winrar unpack script was messing with me. Every time
I unpacked your zip file I was losing the folder structure. I can see similar windows now.
I will test your script when i come back home from work.
Thank you so much for your help.

balder, Hello again
I tried running your script at home. It seems like it is doing what needs to be done. However I did not have any success with actually booting with USB.
I tired one stick which is 1GB, the computer simply bypasses the USB like there is nothing.
I also tried 4GB stick, the computer gives me this error upon boot. "Remove disks or other media Press key to restart"
Hopefully you will be able what's wrong.
Best Regards

@Orochi
quote: "Remove disks or other media Press key to restart" This most likely indicates that no boot record is present on USB device. BIOS can’t find such (USB device).
1. A god start is to check what BIOS has found. Go into BIOS when rebooting and se if BIOS can find USB device. And then of course set USB device to be the number one of boot devices.
2. Did you test checking “Repair BOOT-record during process Note: Best working in 32-bit systems”?
Note: script only uses fast format as default. I have no problem using 4 different USB sticks. I can also use hard disk unit connected via USB cable without problems
This is most likely related to how your USB devices (thumb drive/stick?) earlier have been formatted. You can also test doing a full format in Windows. Right click on your USB device and choose to format (choose full format FAT32). Then run script as usual.

balder thank your for response
The USB boot is set properly. It is the first device and is identified in my bios are "removable".
The reason I know it is set right is because I already managed to boot from usb by doing heureka's tutorial.
It could be that you script uses quick format, however I discovered that heureka uses NTFS format while your script is performing FAT32 format.
I also tried with and without the “Repair BOOT-record during process Note: Best working in 32-bit systems” feature.
When I come home I will try to do a long format FAT32 using HP tool for windows.
I will let you know if it worked.
In your script it states that the USB sticks that could be used are only up to 2GB, is it true? Have you tried using larger USB ticks ?
Thank you for your time
