I have a headache today and my thought process is hurting.  

Anyway,  I am loading grub4dos with "bcdw /ezboot/grldr" which than loads my (sub) menu for me to boot to kon-boot and/or Offline NT/2000/XP/Vista/7 Password Changer.

My question is: How do I create a menu item that will go back to the main ezboot .ezb menu?

I'm only doing it this way because i cannot get kon-boot to boot via ezboot directly.

hello Deadl2ose

I'm not sure I can answer your question properly.

If you create a new submenu. You can assign an [Esc] key back to main menu instead of a button option like :

1. Offline NT/2000/XP/Vista/7 Password Changer

2. kon-boot

3. back to main menu

Here I attach a picture for help. If can't help, I'm sorry that I misunderstand you. Sorry.

I was talking about returning to ezboot menu through the grub4dos menu.  Something like:

title <--back
find --set-root /EZBOOT/loader.bin
chainloader /EZBOOT/loader.bin

Only I can't figure out the exact commands.

How did you get kon-boot and Offline to run via ezboot?  Everything I tried didn't work through vmware or mobaliveCD

I hope I’m not completely lost here ???  – but this “konboot” seems to be pretty small software in size – correct?

I downloaded konboot as an ISO-file.
Test this.
1. Open konboot-ISO-file (I used UltraIso)
2. Extract BOOT-file from ISO and save it as konboot.bif in folder ezboot
3. Create menu in EasyBoot and use menu command:  run konboot.bif

Note: as I said, I’m unsure if this is the right software I’m dealing with – but hopefully it is the right one :O
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And now to something completely different – I noticed you put grub “grldr” in folder ezboot and used command: bcdw /ezboot/grldr
I tested this and it launched grldr but didn’t find the menu.lst (menu.lst was also in folder ezboot).
But if I put grldr and menu.lst in folder disk1 and used command:  bcdw /grldr it works alright :)
I like the idea to have grldr in folder ezboot (it can open “new doors” for users of EasyBoot) – but I failed - what am I doing wrong here ???  

I’m trying to find a solution to jump back to EasyBoot menu :cool:

 I want this to go back to ezboot main menu.  Also I see that you have konboot in your ezboot menu, how do u get it to run via ezboot?


@balder

Konboot is a small iso or floppy image.  I tried the .bif file and it didnt work.  It got the closest of all the methods though.  Konboot would display its graphical start but then fail to actually load all the program parameters.  Konboot iso by itself works fully in virtual machine or mobalivecd.  The grldr way has memdisk as the kernel but I tried memdisk through ezboot and it didnt work.  At this point i'm hoping i maybe had fat fingers and hit a wrong key cause i tried lots of ways and grldr was the only way i could get it working.


I have grldr in EZBOOT folder and MENU.LST in disk 1 folder and it works great except my problem now of not being able to go back to ezboot menu.  Hopefully you can think of something...

He, he – you are not alone - it seems I use that “fat finger“ every day :laugh:

Anyway – let’s focus on the “jump back to EasyBoot menu”-problem.
As grub isn’t DOS – we can probably not use the DOS-file “ezboot.com” (you have that file in folder “resources” in EasyBoot-folder itself).
It is easy to jump back to EasyBoot menu from a DOS-floppy-image - but this is grub – and that is a different story

The only way I can think about is to use the easyboot-grub-iso.script.
When using this approach - EasyBoot-ISO-file is launched by grub – and we can of course jump back (launching ISO-file again from grub).
However I think this is a complicated way to solve this issue – and I do not like to make things more complicated.
I guess I don’t like solutions that looks like a “fat finger”  :D  
It’s better to find out how to launch “konboot” – if possible.

Thanks for clarifying where to put menu.lst :)

EDIT: I burned konboot to CD-RW (took less than a minute)
I rebooted and guess what – konboot doesn’t run fully out. It halts with EOT or something.
I can go so far with Easyboot too – it’s looks like its something strange going on here

My question is: what inputs did you have in menu.lst when launching konboot from grub menu ???


Regards balder

This got me thinking...and turns out I made a fat headed and not fat fingered mistake  :O  The screen you got is the only screen before booting windows so it must do its work as you watch the pretty graphic display.

You need to have an actual password protected user account (and possibly only a 32bit system) for konboot to work.  I was thinking it would display all user accounts and let me choose which to bypass the password for if any. Turns out I made a fat head mistake.

The .bif that i tried and that you suggested will prob work although i did not test that directly.  However, I did test "memdisk /images/konboot.gz" via ezboot directly and it works because this time I made a password protected account.  :laugh:

oh well live and learn I guess.  If you happen to come up with a way to navigate back to ezboot via the grub4dos though please do share.  Thanks for you help!

hello Deadl2ose,

I'm sorry to tell you that I've never tried kon-boot. The first picture I posted to you is only a demo way to return to main menu, when I misunderstanded your question.

Anyway, I know what is kon-boot. It can pass-by password of a user account. Actually I've download this program and tried long before. Even the original ISO file to cd I boot up, it also fail. That's why I gave it up.

Of course if it works, I know it's much better than the other password changer programs. Because of you, now I'll try this program again. Hope we can help each other, thanks.

hello Deadl2ose,

I've download "konboot-v1.1-2in1" today from the official site and test the iso file in VMWare. It's bootable and with a hang up screen right the way

So I burn it to a cdr, but when boot it up, the screen is all black forever.

I wonder how you can test your kon-boot ? I even download the older verson of kon-bot 1.0, but the same thing happened.

Would you mind to tell me how, which version and where you download it ? Thanks.
