To help you I need some more information :O  

1. What kind of “miniPE” is this ???
2. What menu command did you use in EasyBoot menu ???
3. What is the structure in folder disk1 (very important) ???

If I understand you right here: You created ISO in EasyBoot (which works fine from CD). You then in some way want it to launch from USB. Correct ???

But how did you managed to transfer this to USB ???

Did you use my script - easyboot-usb.script - to launch EasyBoot-ISO-file from USB  :;):  
Or what process did you use to manage this :O

And finally – please show structure of USB (very important)

You cannot launch such ”Live”-system this way :O  as the ”root” is lost. Root is disk1 in easyboot.

You have to use the “minint”-approach. Copy folder i386 and possible program-folder to the root of USB and then rename folder i386 to minint. Delete folder i386 in disk1 - you do not have any use for it there if using EasyBoot-ISO from USB.

You have to create a grub-kicker-image that you launch as usual from easyboot menu:  run XXX.img  
Use easyboot-usb.scipt as usual.
This start grub-kicker-image that then launch setupldr.bin inside folder minint on USB.

Creating grub-kicker-image is done with my script “EasyBoot kicker-image”.

Put in this command-lines in script “EasyBoot kicker-image”:

find --set-root /minint/SETUPLDR.BIN
chainloader /minint/SETUPLDR.BIN
boot

You can use easyboot-iso.script to solve this issue - You use the created ISO (MiniPE (2k5.09.03) XT) as it is (not extracting any folder).

Note: Check “Run from RAM” in script when you integrate ISO-file (read in help in script). And as ISO-file is loaded to RAM you need a lot of RAM – at least in this case 1GB recommended.
