As it seems that you are a new member – I say welcome

Well if you have spent some time reading and using “search-function” in the upper right corner – you most probably have found solutions to your problem 
Anyway – test this:
Solution to Windows XP:
1. Copy (or extract from ISO) folder i386 and “ident-files” win51 etcetera to folder disk1 (note: folder disk1 is the “root” for EasyBoot).
2. Create menu in EasyBoot and use menu command:  run W2ksect.bin  (check that you have file W2ksect.bin in folder ezboot – file should be there.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
Solution to Hiren's BootCD 10.4
This can be solved in different ways – let’s start with the “straight way”:
1. Extract folder “hbcd” to folder disk1
2. Create menu in EasyBoot and use menu command: Â bcdw /hbcd/isolinux.bin
Alternative solution:
Download my set of script and use “easyboot-iso.script” – push on “Integrate Hiren’s boot-CD” and follow instructions given by script.
When creating ISO in EasyBoot, check “Allow lower case”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----
Solution to miniPE:
This can be solved in different ways – let’s start with the simple way:
Note: this solution can only be used if miniPE is built using WinXP as source (server-2003 doesn’t work as source) and further more, I guess that we are dealing with a NT5-system (folder i386) and not a NT6-system as source (Vista/Win-7 or server-2008).
1. Copy (or extract from ISO) folder i386 and “ident-files” (note: Same “ident-files can be used as in “Solution to WindowsXP” in case you wonder). Also copy folder with programs related to miniPE (folder "Programs" or whatever) to folder disk1.
2. Rename folder i386 to a different four-letters name like MYPE (Note: use caps to letters. Caps = BIG LETTERS).
3. Create menu in EasyBoot and use menu command: Â bcdw /MYPE/setupldr.bin
Alternative solution: Use my script easyboot-iso.script and check “Run ISO from RAM” if it is a minPE built using folder i386 as source (NT5-system).
Note: when using script you don’t extract anything from ISO-file. Instead script uses the ISO-file and launch ISO as it is (yes this is in fact possible – believe it or not)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----
When creating ISO in EasyBoot, do not check “Allow lower case” (if not using my script to Hiren’s).

@balder
thank you for fast reply
"Solution to Windows XP:

2. Create menu in EasyBoot and use menu command: run W2ksect.bin (check that you have file W2ksect.bin in folder ezboot – file should be there."
worked like a charm

2. Rename folder i386 to a different four-letters name like MYPE (Note: use caps to letters. Caps = BIG LETTERS).
3. Create menu in EasyBoot and use menu command: bcdw /MYPE/setupldr.bin"
this worked for booting up, but i must copy to C:\EasyBoot\disk1 other folders from MiniPE if i whant to use programs in booted MiniPE because thay are not in I386 folder
But am stuck on Hiren i tryed two disk of Hirens wich i have and same problem
if i use solution:
"1. Extract folder “hbcd” to folder disk1
2. Create menu in EasyBoot and use menu command: bcdw /hbcd/isolinux.bin"
i get this:
and if i use Alternative solution i get this:
so is it posible that iso files are not good or i doing something wrong?
if i mount in VMware separete hirens iso's thay work fine

Yes you are 100% correct  (forgot to mention folder “program” or whatever the name is on that folder – have modified tutorial in post nr; 2)

Hmm – seems you are right there 
Please use my script easyboot-iso.script (you have download below)
Read carefully “READ_ME.html” in download 
Note: It’s “party-saturday” and I’m “unplugged” from computer this evening 
Test script and see if you can make it work this way.
Hey… nothing wrong with your English – works great

@balder
Hope that party went as you expected
Well for some words there is magic google translator
i finished with all of 3 iso-s but as most people i get greedy so i added Windows 7 32 and 64 bit and work perfect ( i did it with your script) only... its 4.56 GB..lager than DVD so i wonder can i compres this and with what program?
Also if you have time maybe some advice for cool transparent menu or something like that..custom buttons... ?
I think i should change topic to milos ask balder everything about EasyBoot

It’s hard to say if you can compress this huge DVD that much as it is needed
When creating ISO in EasyBoot you can check “Optimize”.
Files that are exactly the same are then only used one time – however this is mostly used when creating All-In-One CD/DVD with NT5-system (folder i386=Server2003 and all versions of WinXP).
This works fine – but Win-7 is very large – and as you are integrating two different versions of a NT6-system it might note work
Note: you can always test and using “Optimize” – if it works – well then be happy
Another way could be to use UPX.
Homepage HERE
As you are running Windows - I guess that it is upx307w.zip you should download
I don’t know how Win7 files reacts on such compressing – but why not experiment and check if it is possible to get the total size to build that low as needed to fit into you DVD
To finish it up – I’m very impressed that you already cached up how to use script and EasyBoot – good work from you
EDIT!
@milos I have modified and extended the use to easyboot-cab.script
The easyboot-cab.script can now also run UPX to exe-files and dll-files.
Use of script: Push UPX-button in easyboot-cab.script and follow instructions in script (open folder where exe or dll-files are. Script then run upx to all files found in folder you pointed to).
Please do a new complete download to make this new option available to you.
Make a copy of your Win-7 folder (at least folder “sources”) and run upx to files and see if you can reduce total size – it might reduce size enough to fit in to your DVD – if you are lucky
However if this works for run setup (installation) of Win7 I have no idea
He, he that “party” went well – I’m still alive 
Regards balder
