Hello all,Currently in the process of making a multi boot disk with the latest version of easyboot. I got all of my applications working EXCEPT for the < Dell 32 Bit Diagnostics GUI >.
So far this is what I tried:
Used the application to create a .iso. Opened the .iso with winimage and extracted the boot sector properties to a .ima. I tried run dell.ima, easyboot froze. I used the application to make a hard drive (.img). Still didn't work. Has anyone gotten this working with easyboot or have any input?
Thanks,
Kyle

I was thinking, the boot cd uses Hard Drive emulation with a MBR. Does anyone know if easyboot supports this?

There are a few different posts on the forums, mostly by Madar which have helped me alot. I work as a computer tech and have been trying to cut down on the large amount of CDs I carry around, and I was also curious about how to integrate a Dell CD onto it. So I gave the same kind of process I used for Acronis a shot with the Dell CD.1)Create an ISO image and open it by UltraISO, or
2)Select the disk icon in the upper left panel and press F4 to extract all files and folders to c:\easyboot\disk1 (or whatever the name of your disk is)
3)Choose 'Bootable'->'Generate Bootinfotable, which should be already checked, if not, check it. Then go back and choose "Save boot file" to extract a boot img from the iso. Save it in your disks ezboot folder, can save it as any name you want, I chose simply dell.bif
4) Use 'bootinfotable;run dell.bif' as command to load it.
This worked for me, I hope it works for you. My source CD was a Dell Resource CD from a E510
