Hello,

I am trying to create a multiboot CD that contains a Paragon boot CD. The Paragon disc I am experimenting with is the Paragon Rescue Kit Express (free version)

< http://www.paragon-software.com/home/rk-express/download.html >

I cannot get this to work at this time. I have read through the sticky topic EZBOOT GUIDE TO LINUX FOR NEWBIES (particularly STEP6 on this guide)

< http://www.ezbsystems.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=1;t=2071 >

but still cannot get the paragon disc to work.

Here are the steps I took

1) Copied the contents of the Paragon cd to the folder C:\EasyBoot\disk1\paragon

2) Added a menu option to run the command...

bcdw /ezboot/isolinux /paragon/vmlinuzp initrd=/paragon/initrd.gz splash=silent quiet root=/dev/ram0 eng_ver vga=0x314

3) Create an ISO and boot to it


When I select the option to boot the paragon disc. I see the ISOLinux 3.11 load and display the following...

Loading /paragon/vmlinuzp................................
Loading /paragon/initrd.gz.................................

Then the screen goes black and nothing happens..


Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong or help me with this issue?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you madar.

I ran through the steps in that post and I can verify that THIS WORKS!!!

I tried this on Paragon Rescue Kit Express and Paragon Drive Backup and both worked!

I am guessing this will work for the other Paragon discs as well..

I have made bootable paragon partition manager 9.0 Express
as below:
1. copy contents of iso to ...\EasyBoot\disk1
2.find isolinux.bin from web and put it in ...\EasyBoot\disk1 too
3.use one of commands below:
bcdw /isolinux.bin /vmlinuzp noapic initrd=/initrd.gz root=/dev/ram0 eng_ver vga=0x314

or
bcdw /isolinux.bin /vmlinuzp noapic initrd=/initrd.gz root=/dev/ram0 eng_ver splash=silent vga=0x314


the difference of commands are:
by first command you will see process of runing command in menu
by second you will not see processing commands
