Has anyone had any luck getting GParted LiveCD or PartedMagic working in easyboot?
If so, can you explain how? I would prefer PartedMagic but haven't had any luck.

I have read your post half an our ago,and cheched "pmagic-4.1.iso" for your request. i was successful as steps below:
1.Extract all contents of "pmagic-4.1.iso" to
.....\EasyBoot\disk1
2.use command below in EasyBoot
bcdw /boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin /pmagic/bzImage noapic initrd=/initramfs root=/dev/ram0 eng_ver splash=silent vga=0x314
------------- I tested it worked by QEMU
inform me please about your work

Tested your tutorial but it didn’t work Getting following text on screen: “Could not find ramdisk image  pmagic/initramfs Loading pmagic/bzImage” ----------------------------------
Instead I used my idea with “kicker-image” (floppy images based on grub with menu.lst) and it was as expected fully success  Also tested starting/running EasyBoot from USB device and same success here to  (but parted magic.iso instead put on the root of USB device and menu.lst slightly modified to point to new location. I highly recommend using “kicker images” to start linux/isolinux systems (especially ISO files) as this involves the remarkable boot loader grub (our salvation it seems ). It’s to be understood that grub only is used as a kind of “slave” and runs from inside of floppy images (I call them kicker images). Basically EasyBoot start/runs this images and in this way using grub like a kind of slave.
Note1: Test only using Virtuell pc and qemu (qemu when testing USB device) Note2: Be aware that pmagic sometimes is a little tricky and not always runs as expected on all computers.

Still getting this error: “Could not find ramdisk image  pmagic/initramfs Loading pmagic/bzImage boot:”
Note1: test done with virtual pc and with a burned CD-RW. Same error using a real CD as you can notice.
Note2. I downloaded pmagic-4.1.iso.zip not the grub ISO type (correct?)
Note3. used command as suggested by you; bcdw /boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin /pmagic/bzImage noapic initrd=/initramfs root=/dev/ram0 eng_ver splash=silent vga=0x314 (also tested with and without checking “Joliet”) Same error occurs
But I can start ISO with my kick-image so it’s no big deal for me
regards balder

I think we need to consider that pmagic sometimes is a little bit tricky (this is a well known fact from earlier versions). In fact it can even be related to my motherboard (FoxConn) and it’s memory buss etcetera.
Anyway, it’s a little bit strange that I cant get it up and running – but as I pointed out – no big deal… balder
