Hi,
I'm new in EasyBoot and have one question.
Is it possible to start ISOs from an other partition?
I have a external HDD with 2 Partions.
1. partion is with FAT32 (where the boot system is)
2. partion is with NTFS for data and big ISO (bigger than 4 gb)
Can somebody help me?
Thanks
Germanboy4u

Yes it is - but unfortunately not having FAT32 as 'boot-partition' 
You must reverse and use NTFS as 'boot'partition' and launch 'oversized' ISO-files from this NTFS-partition
Unfortunately EasyBoot cannot run on NTFS-partition - must be FAT32-partition
However there is solution to this problem - read post nr;2 HERE
On the other hand, it is most likely possible to launch ISO placed on FAT32-partition if this partition is the second (first partition=boot must be NTFS)
We can launch ISO that are put to an FAT32 if 'boot-partition' is NTFS. But not from FAT32 to NTFS
This is done using grub (floppy images with grldr-boot record)

I recognize this problem - its common
I launch different linux distro's (ISO-files) from my second USB hard-disk partition which is FAT32
Partition 1 (the 'boot-partition') is NTFS but as you correctly points out - linux needs FAT32.
As told, I use a 500GB USB hard-disk with two partitions.
Partition-1 is NTFS and second partition is FAT32
I use my solution as described to launch EasyBoot menu.
And from Easyboot menu I'm able to launch different "grub-kicker-images" which 'auto-search' and launch different linux-distros 
An typicall example is 'YLMF.ISO' that is placed in a folder 'ISO' on the second FAT32-partition.
This works alright without hesitating
regards balder
