I extracted the boot image from the boot.gz archive in the HBCD directory, opened up autoexec.bat and config.sys, changed the colour and stuff in the menu. But now I wanna add an option in the main menu that will take you to the EasyBoot menu via ezboot.com. You're only allowed to have 9 menu options so I removed one and put my own that goes to ezboot.com. Can you tell me what commands I should in autoexec.bat and config.sys. I tried:menuitem=EZBOOT, EasyBoot Menu
But I keep getting errors when I build my iso image and run it in Virtual PC. It opens up ok. My menu comes up, but when I choose the EasyBoot Menu option i get error in config.sys on XX line.

Ok I almost got it right.I placed a copy of ezboot.com inside the boot image, Put these lines in config.sys:
menuitem=EZBOOT, EasyBoot Menu
[EZBOOT]
include=NOEMM
-------------------------------------------------------------------
In Autoexec.bat I put these lines
IF %config%==EZBOOT goto ezb
:ezb
ezboot.com
-------------------------------------------------------------------
But when I run Hiren's ISO in Virtual PC, the menu comes up but when I choose the option EasyBoot command line comes up and I get an error. Cannot find kernel.
