Hi!I´m new here and have tried to find an answer by searching through the forum but do not find one
.So... I would like to create a Boot-CD with Darik´s Boot and nuke (DBAN) and xfdisk.
Is it possible and what is the best way?
I hope someone can help me

I've never dealt with xfdisk, so I don't know what to do about that. But for DBAN, I do. 1. Extract the files in the ISO.
2. Find the file called "DBAN_1_0_7_I386.IMA"
3. Rename "DBAN_1_0_7_I386.IMA" to "DBAN107.IMA"(This is only to shorten the name, it has no other purpose)
4. Move "DBAN107.IMA" to /ezboot/
5. Use the command "run DBAN107.IMA" to run DBAN.
That should work.

Thx joe941988 
That works perfectly for me.
< XFDisk >
xfdisk is a replacement for the old fdisk thing from Microsoft. I use it only for partitioning.
I start it with my Win98-BootFloppy. It´s just a .exe file
I would like to autostart it now (with my new boot disc)
I hope know someone can give me further instructions how to do it?

@ RUMBO742Welcome to this forum @ RUMBO742
Quote ” whats that 'ezzboot' i cant find it plz help” Hmmm…
you have misspelled ezzboot – right name is ezboot 
Install EasyBoot – open folder EasyBoot – inside you have several files and folders.
At least following folders should be found inside folder EasyBoot:
1. Folder resource
2. Folder lang
3. And finally folder disk1
4. You may also have a folder iso as well
Open folder disk1 and you should have a folder ezboot
Please use Help in EasyBoot
I have copied following text as sample from help-file:Setup program will create directory as below:
C:\EasyBoot\disk1 CD file directory
C:\EasyBoot\disk1\ezboot boot image sub directory
C:\EasyBoot\iso

One Method for using XFDISK by EasyBoot is as below:Note that for this method you should have hirens bootcd,I used
hirens bootcd version 9.6 files,but you can use any version older
than v9.9(In new versions the process of work is little bit different.)
---------------------------------
1.Open hiren's bootcd iso by ultraiso.
2.Delete files below from root of iso:
autorun.inf
BootCD.txt.
3.Delete all files and directories inside BootCD folder exept files below:
mix.uha
uharc.exe
uharcd.exe
4.Click on "Bootable" in menu,then select "Save boot file...".and save that
by the name of for example "hiren.bif" some where (for example in D:\Source).
5.Save and exit ultraiso.
6.Open notepad and types lines below on it,then save that as "Autoexec.bat"
in D:\source directory:
@echo off
set path=
set ramd=R
set keyboard=US
startup all
:all
copy %cdrom%\bootcd\uharcd.exe %ramd%:\>nul
IF %config%==XFDISK call %config%
wbat fill (+cyan on black)
smartdrv>nul
call loadcd
7.Open notepad and types lines below on it,then save that as "Config.sys"
in D:\source directory:
[menu]
menuitem=XFDISK, eXtended FDisk 0.9.3
menudefault=XFDISK,
menucolor=11,0
[XFDISK]
devicehigh=himem.sys /testmem:off /numhandles=128
dos=high,umb,
fileshigh=40
shell=\command.com /e:2048 /f /p
switches=/f
lastdrivehigh=z
8.Open D:\source\hiren.bif by ultraiso,replace autoexec.bat and config.sys
inside that by the ones you have made in steps 6 and 7 then save it.
9.Delete jo.sys inside hiren.bif,then save it and close it.
10.Open modified hirencd iso in steps 1 to 5,and extract BootCD of that to
your EasyBoot installed directory inside disk1 folder.
11.Copy D:\source\hiren.bif to ...\disk1\ezboot directory.
12.In EasyBoot menu use command below to run XFDISK
run hiren.bif

thats all , hope will be some help
