Hi, having problems. Wonder if experts can help.
These are the steps I have done, Correct me if I am wrong.
I have working bootable iso of XP Pro and Home.
Using Ultra ISO, as seen in the forum, I extracted first XP Home, created the boot file, XPH.bif in c:\easyboot\disk1\ezboot\XPH.bif' and all other files in
c:\easyboot\disk1\XPH. And I 'run XPH.bif' as command to load it.
Likewise, I did the same for XP Pro, naming XPP.bif and all other files in c:\easyboot\disk1\ezboot\XPP.bif' and run XPP.bif as command.
And I created the iso thru EazyBoot. However I get error during the boot up process when it says cannot load or cannot find xxx something like that.
However, if I created single boot iso for each XP thru Ezyboot, where all the files are dump in c:\easyboot\disk1\ it works perfectly.
I believe the error lies in the c:\easyboot\disk1\XPH and XPP folder I created . Is there something like a hex editor where I can edit the XPH.bif and XPP.bif so that it can boot from the files in XPH and XPP folders ?
If I were to dump all files into c:\easyboot\disk1, some files will override each other. I doubt this will work.
Experts, please advise !!

@stevekong04
As this seems to be you first post in this forum I say welcome 
Quote: “I doubt this will work”
It works 
However, you cannot use “your method” as it doesn’t work 
You have to do some hex editing and make changes in other files as well.
Or - you can instead use my script “easyboot-aio.script” to do it automatically.
ATTENTION! PLEASE READ HELP (PUSH HELP-BUTTON) IN EACH SCRIPT.
Yes I know – I’m shouting – seems necessary each time – as a lot of folks refuse to read help carefully – why this behaviour I don’t know 
You have download link below in every post I write (Download complete set of scripts .....................)
Please – read also “READ_ME.html” in downloaded folder “balder” Â

Copy folder “WinBuilder_complete" to the root [C:\]
Inside downloaded folder “balder” you also have a  “READ_ME.html” start  READ_ME.html and find information how to handle scripts.

Hi Balder, having problems with easy-boot-aio script.
Let me tell you what I have done. Correct me if I have done wrong.
I extracted from created XP Home CD all files to c:\XPHOME\
Using your Easy Boot Aio script, as per instructions,
set new name to folder i386, I gave XPHE. Why 4 capital letters, I still don't know but not important.
Scroll to where i386 is, I point to c:\XPHOME\i386
On the right, I choose to provide my own winnt.sif, I point to c:\XPHOME\i386 where the winnt.sif is located.
When I click START process, error occurs, Source-Folder i386 cannot be found !!
Why like that ?
I followed your readme.html file, but no solution. Please help. Thanks.

@stevekong04
He, he good morning @stevekong04
Quote: “Why 4 capital letters”
How many letters (numerical as well) is it in the folder name “I386”
I’ll say four – and to change this we need four different letters (numerical as well if you like)
And yes – must be capital letters
Quote: “Source-Folder i386 cannot be found”
I quote from instruction above scroll-box: "Scroll to where folder i386 is, don't open folder i386. Don't use CD/DVD as source"
It’s obviously that you have opened folder i386
Only point to folder - right path in your case is therefore: “c:\XPHOME” and not this c:\XPHOME\i386 and in fact not even this c:\XPHOME\
This is what happens in your case: Script try to find folder i386 but you point to the inside of folder i386 and script is searching and cannot not find any folder i386 inside the folder i386 – that’s what causing you problem.
I’m sure you can work it out 
Regards balder

@stevekong04
I’m suspicious as I find this “E:\” in the log
Are you sure that you do not point to CD/DVD-unit as source for folder i386.
Please clarify that you don not use CD/DVD-unit as source
