Boot you EasyBoot from USB device. Works nearly100% from USB device.

Basic tutorial here: < http://www.ezbsystems.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=1;t=2472 >

HOT NEWS<<HOT NEWS!!! EasyBoot now fully running from USB device.
Anybody interested in here ???

I have managed to do following using EasyBoot from USB device.
It takes less than 4 seconds more to boot from USB device to a fully running EasyBoot comparing to CD-boot. CD-boot takes proximally 3,5 sec and USB-boot proximally 7 sec.

Improvements!!!
EasyBoot can now start setup of WindowsXP from USB device.
EasyBoot can now shut down computer from USB device.
EasyBoot can now reboot computer from USB device
EasyBoot can now run images inside itself as usual (note: some old stuff may fail). No big deal…
EasyBoot can - I guess - start setup of Windows Vista (Note: not tested). Any problem related to this is not an issue for EasyBoot, it’s an issue how to managed setup of Vista from USB device itself.

In fact, it’s easier to count up what EasyBoot CAN do than counting what not can be done!
Left to fix is BartePe (not fully solved!), Reatogo (not fully solved), Winternal-ERD (not fully solved).
It’s the same problem for all three above. Explorer gets hung up and finally the whole system gets locket. Any suggestion is highly welcome.
Winbuilder (you have to use “RAM-approach" to this one, but not yet fully solved).

@ kush_h20

Note: Running Easyboot from USB device and start setup of winxp or start reatogo/bartpe isn’t done in the same way as when using CD/DVD. Read here: < http://www.ezbsystems.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=1;t=2480 >
