I've got a "Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10.0.20.6" iso file< http://hotfile.com/dl/41693446/052cba5/Kasp.Rescue.10.0.20.6.rar.html >
I use winbuilder-Easyboot-USB to integrate this iso file to my 4GB usb drive. It boots normally at the beginning ,
but then an error message comes out and stops :
"could not find the root block device in"
Actually I've test this iso file before under VMWare. It boots normally to the end, but when it finished booting, you can't press anything to response with your mouse. I don't know why ?

hi allgames71,Yea that would not go through, that is linux iso and needs a linux enviornment.
Have you seen my multiBootDVD posting.
< Click here to see My MultiBootDVD >
I have used it on my MultiBootDVD. Initially I had the same prob on DVD but later I realised its a linux and need some extra settings.
I dont know how to incorporate it with easyboot as I never used to easyboot rather I am more comfortable with GRUB4DOS. In my DVD I used GRUB4DOS as a bootlaoder.
My menu.lst contains:
title Launch Kaspersky Rescue Disk 2010\n Kaspersky Rescue disk updates till April-23-2010 by Abbas
kernel /kav_rescue_2010/boot/rescue subdir=/kav_rescue_2010 setkmap=us scandelay=5 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc looptype=squashfs loop=/kav_rescue_2010/image.squashfs cdroot
initrd /kav_rescue_2010/boot/rescue.igz
and Kaspersky rescue works very well on DVD and even on USB.
I think Balder can assist you with easyboot, yes balder am I right.

I tested @zia abbas method but didn’t manage to get it working
– though this is a well known method – we already used this approach to UBUNTU, read post nr:16 < HERE >So the idea from @zia abbas is basically correct
However, I prefer “my method” that I “invented” several years back and I have up to this time written many tutorials for different linux/isolinux distros using this method as base. Slax is an example on the same theme.
Here is my method for CD/DVD-unit:
ATTENTION! Tutorial has been modified!
1. Make a copy of kaspersky ISO.
2. Open ISO and extract files: image.squashfs, folder rescue and livecd to EasyBoot\disk1 (I use UltraIso for this operation).
3. Delete files: image.squashfs, folder rescue and livecd in ISO and save ISO-file (ISO is now less in size).
4. Use easyboot-iso.script to integrate reduced ISO-file (do not check “Run from RAM”).
5. Use menu command you get from script in EasyBoot.
6. Attention! Check "Joliet" when creating ISO in EasyBoot.
------------------------------------------------------
It’s also very easy to implement this to USB – do it this way:
1. Do step 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. But before creating ISO in EasyBoot, remove file image.squashfs, folder rescue and livecd and folder ISO from Easyboot\disk1
2. Check "Joliet" when creating ISO in EasyBoot!
3. Use easyboot-usb.script to get created ISO on USB.
4. Copy files image.squashfs, folder rescue and livecd to the root of USB.
5. Copy ISO-file from inside of folder ISO that you removed in step 1 to folder ISO on USB.
(Tested on my USB-harddrive)
Note: you need to use NTFS as file-system. FAT32 doesn't work for kaspersky
---------------------------------------------------------------------
PS. @allgames71 thanks for putting in download links – this really helps me and other users to help you as well as help the whole community to solve such issues about getting different distros to run in EasyBoot – thanks!

Hello Abbas Many thianks for your kind help. I know because you have experience of your own on this , that's why you want to share your technique in here. You are really enthusiastic and thanks for this. I hope the others would have response like you to help the problem raiser.
Actually I'm not going to put "Kaspersky" on CD/DVD. I want to put it on my usb drive. And it must be Easyboot usb related as I've already got a lot of program of Easyboot in my usb drive. That's why I want to add some more antivirus program in it.
Anyway, thanks for your kind heart.

6. You don't need to check anything when creating ISO in EasyBoot.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I tested it on VMWare with EULA error. In stops on a Tital "EULA" blank white screen and doing nothing.
========================================
It’s also very easy to implement this to USB – do it this way:
1. Do step 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. But before creating ISO in EasyBoot, remove file image.squashfs, rescue and livecd and folder ISO from Easyboot\disk1
2. Create ISO in EasyBoot.
3. Use easyboot-usb.script to get created ISO on USB.
4. Copy files image.squashfs, rescue and livecd to the root of USB.
5. Copy ISO-file from inside of folder ISO that you removed in step 1 to folder ISO on USB.
(Tested on my USB-harddrive)
========================================
I test it on my 4GB usb drive , on the mid-way boot , an error message comes out and stops :
BusyBox v1.7.4 (2009-12-18 12:20:25 UTC) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
/bin/ash: can't access tty: job control turned off
You are right "Tutorial has been modified!". I agree, for this I only have to follow the steps you teach me. Unlike before, I can handle the other programs to add in my usb drive easily with Winbuilder Easyboot scripts. For this "Kaspersky". I'm just to do of what I've been told to do like a recorder. As I don't know why I've to make it in these unknown steps. Actually I want to have your tutorial first, then I can try to handle programs like this "Kaspersky" myself. So I don't have to always cause you trouble and effort.
Actually I've few more antivirus programs that fails to boot in my 4GB usb drive that are quite like "Kaspersky", that why I want to try your tutorial with these strange steps myself. Hope you can help me more. Thanks
I have to claim that posting the software download links is NOT my aim of sharing software here. It's only for the convenience of the others to try the problem raised program confirmly.
Of course I know balder don't think I am. Only I want the others wouldn't misunderstand me as this is a Easyboot discussing forum only. I apologize.
Please balder, I've follow exactly what you told me in my usb drive test , but with problem of unexpecting error stops. I know it's quite hard for you to see my problem in "Kaspersky" as you successfully made it. But would you please try it some more way. Thanks.

@allgames71Quote: “"EULA" blank white screen and doing nothing”
Damn it
– you are right 
– I totally forgot that when I finally did my test I checked “Joliet” when creating ISO in EasyBoot. Please test with checking “Joliet” (and only Joliet).I changed tutorial as well
Edit1:
Here is a different way to integrate kaspersky into EasyBoot.
For CD/DVD-unit:
1. Extract all files from kaspersky.iso to EasyBoot\disk1
2. Extract boot-file from kaspersky.iso and save boot-file with name kaspersky.bif to folder ezboot (I use UltraIso for this operation).
3. Use menu command in Easyboot.: bootinfotable;run kaspersky.bif
4. Check “Joliet” when creating ISO
For USB unit:
1. Extract folder boot from kaspersky.iso to EasyBoot\disk1
2. Extract boot-file from kaspersky.iso and save boot-file with name kaspersky.bif to folder ezboot (I use UltraIso for this operation).
3. Use menu command in Easyboot.: bootinfotable;run kaspersky.bif
4. Check “Joliet” when creating ISO
5. Use easyboot-usb.script to get created ISO to USB
6. From kaspersky.iso extract files: image.squashfs and livecd and folder rescue to the root of USB
Edit2: quote: “I have to claim that posting the software download links is NOT my aim of sharing software here. It's only for the convenience of the others to try the problem raised program confirmly.”
Exactly what I mean – this is not a problem. I fully understand your mission.
Sometimes people ask for help with some software that I even didn’t now exist
– and I having trouble to find the right version for download etcetera. I do not have any large library of software – this is done purely free of charges from me. Hopefully it helps somebody out there – and in fact, it is a good help to myself on this “road trip” - to better understand different software and how to implement these into EasyBoot or USB or these two at same time.
Best regards balder

Hello balderThe last CD/DVD tutorial was successful. But the USB tutorial was fail with error :
a whole black screen with "kavrescue ~ #" and a blinking cursor
Thanks for your second tutorial. Actually I want usb version more than cd/dvd version. That's why I've tried your tutorial more than once but with the same result.
I'm sorry to fail you. Please help. Thanks
Posted by balder on May 13 2010,10:15
@allgames71Quote: "kavrescue ~ # and a blinking cursor"
This means that you succeed with the text-based part of kaspersky – and when the graphic part is launched it fails
I had to use NTFS to USB stick when format. If using FAT32 it failed when launching kaspersky.
I have reworked easyboot-usb.script so that you now have a new option: “Format to NTFS (Default is FAT32)”
You can hereby force USB stick to use NTFS-file system instead of “standard FAT32”.
When using NTFS to USB stick kaspersky didn’t fail. This means that you must do a complete new download of my scripts. Replace the one you currently use with this new download.
I tested this tutorial without having any problems:
For CD/DVD:
1. Make a copy of kaspersky ISO.
2. Open ISO and extract files: image.squashfs, folder rescue and livecd to EasyBoot\disk1 (I use UltraIso for this operation).
3. Delete files: image.squashfs, folder rescue and livecd in ISO and save ISO-file (ISO is now less in size).
4. Use easyboot-iso.script to integrate reduced ISO-file (do not check “Run from RAM”).
5. Use menu command you get from script in EasyBoot.
6. Attention! Check "Joliet" when creating ISO in EasyBoot.
------------------------------------------------------
It’s also very easy to implement this to USB – do it this way:
For USB stick/thumb drive and USB harddisk:
1. Do step 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. But before creating ISO in EasyBoot, remove file image.squashfs, folder rescue and livecd and folder ISO from Easyboot\disk1
2. Check "Joliet" when creating ISO in EasyBoot!
3. Use easyboot-usb.script to get created ISO on USB. Attention! Check “Format to NTFS” if using USB stick/thumb drive (if using USB harddisk, NTFS is automatically used by script).
4. Copy files image.squashfs, folder rescue and livecd to the root of USB.
5. Copy ISO-file from inside of folder ISO that you removed in step 1 to folder ISO on USB.
6. You are recommended to push “Defrag-button” - can take some time.

Hello balderI've already downloaded the new Winbuilder before Kaspersky usb test. Therefore my fails before is already a NTFS usb thumb drive. This time, I format my 40GB usb harddisk with a new test as to guarantee the usb harddisk must be in NTFS mode. Unfortunately with exactly the same failure "kavrescue ~ #".
I've followed your tutorial for 3 times very carefully as it's a little difficult for me this time , but still with the same failure.
So, I decide to write down my own steps. As I'm thinking , if I tell you that I exactly follow your tutorial , you may actually don't know how do I do it and how do I follow your tutorial without mistakes. Below are my steps to show you how I do it my own :
1. Use UltraISO to open kaspersky.iso
2. Extract all contents except folder "boot" to "C:\EasyBoot\disk1"
3. Delete all iso contents except foldr "boot" and save iso file to "abc.iso"
4. Use easyboot-iso.script and name to ISO file name "KASP" to integrate "abc.iso" (do not check “Run from RAM”). Then new generated iso is "C:\EasyBoot\disk1\ISO\KASP.iso"
5. User menu command : memdisk KASP.img.gz
------------------------------------------------------
The above 5 steps are steps for making cd/dvd
6. Move "C:\EasyBoot\disk1\" ... image.squashfs, folder rescue and livecd and folder ISO to a "Temp" Folder
7. Check "Joliet" when creating ISO in EasyBoot! with menu command "memdisk KASP.img.gz"
8. User easyboot-sub.script to integrate "C:\EasyBoot\iso\mycd.iso" to usb harddisk (I use usb harddisk this time to guarantee the harddisk format must be NTFS)
9. Copy files image.squashfs, folder rescue and livecd from the before "Temp" folder to the root of USB
10. Copy the former made "KASP.iso" from "Temp" folder to usb harddisk\iso folder
11. Delete usb\harddisk\iso\iso.iso. Rename usb\harddisk\iso\KASP.iso to iso.iso
This time when I run my usb harddisk, something different (better) happen , I can see the "License Agreement" screen. So I press "A" to accept. But afterward, I see a sentence somewhat like
"fail to go on due to unexpecting error"
Then "kavrescue ~ #" comes out and stop again.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
balder, you can see the steps I've made above. Did I do anything wrong. Please tell me. Thanks in advance.

@allgames71Quote: "something different (better) happen"
Well step 11 is not right but works anyway as you then launch kaspersky ISO-file directly and not EasyBoot-ISO-file.
You should only copy former made "KASP.iso" from "Temp" folder to usb harddisk\iso folder. Then you launch easyboot-ISO-file (iso.iso) and from menu in easyboot you launch “kicker-image” that launch kaspersky ISO-file ("KASP.iso" in folder ISO on USB).
However as you rename "KASP.iso" to ISO.ISO you directly launch kaspersky. No harm but not my intensions
Anyway – you seems to be able to launch kaspersky and even got the EULA agreement presented on the screen – this proofs to me that kaspersky is up and run.
You then get "fail to go on due to unexpecting error". The first thing kaspersky is doing is to find and register harddisk-units and it seems that here something goes wrong
You could test on USB stick to see if this problem is related to your USB harddisk-unit.
In my opinion, kaspersky is up and run but something (probably hardware related) makes kaspersky to “flip out” when searhing for harddisk-units– and I have no clue what problem this is – I can only guess and speculate
Note: I have tested this to several different USB sticks and even this one < HERE > (memory card reader) and used memory stick (512MB) from my camera. And even this one worked fine

Hello balderI've tried again the steps 2 times and fail with the same result "kavrescue ~ #" , and even this time there's no "License Agreement" come out.
Frankly speaking, I always believe you as you are a good teacher. You said you test it many times OK, then it must be OK.
The thing is I'm too stupid. My stupid is may be I'm doing some wrong in my steps that I don't know and regard it's right. That's why always have the same fail result repeatly.
Now I present my steps again. Hope you can see it with patience :
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Use UltraISO to open kaspersky.iso
2. Extract all contents except folder "boot" to "C:\EasyBoot\disk1"
3. Delete all iso contents except foldr "boot" and save iso file to "abc.iso"
4. Use easyboot-iso.script and name to ISO file name "KASP" to integrate "abc.iso" (do not check “Run from RAM”). Then new generated iso is "C:\EasyBoot\disk1\ISO\KASP.iso"
5. User menu command : memdisk KASP.img.gz
6. Move "C:\EasyBoot\disk1\" ... image.squashfs, folder rescue and livecd and folder ISO to a "Temp" Folder
7. Check "Joliet" when creating ISO in EasyBoot! with menu command "memdisk KASP.img.gz"
8. User easyboot-sub.script to integrate "C:\EasyBoot\iso\mycd.iso" to usb harddisk (I use usb harddisk this time to guarantee the harddisk format must be NTFS)
9. Copy files image.squashfs, folder rescue and livecd from the before "Temp" folder to the root of USB
10. Copy the former made "KASP.iso" from "Temp" folder to usb harddisk\iso folder
11. So now we have 2 iso-file in usb thumb drive\iso :
kasp.iso and iso.iso
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
When boot up the usb thumb drive, I choose "Launch EasyBoot" on the gif Penguin screen, then I choose "Kaspersky" on the "cd Easyboot" screen. And "Kaspersky" program starts to run.
balder, may I have an impolite suggestion. Let me be the teacher this time and you are a learner. I mean please don't do it your way and just follow my above steps one by one as exactly what their name is. I think this is the only way you can find out my stupid mistake.
Sorry about this suggestion, I don't mean to order to do something. Actually I need your help and you are helping me. Sorry and Thanks.

@allgames71Quote: "the only way you can find out my stupid mistake"
I haven’t noticed any “stupid” mistake from your side – he, he – cool down; there is a new day tomorrow
All steps are correctly done in your last post (post nr:11) and it works for me – but look what happens when I was able to test this to a “e-machine” (similar as hp desktop and not mine property).
When booting penguin shows up and I choose to launch EasyBoot. That’s fine so far – but when launching kaspersky (using the “kicker-image”) it halts at once complaining that a wrong command is done etcetera, etcetera….
Note: This e-machine support USB-2 speed at boot time
To solve this I used “bootinfotable;run kaspersky.bif” (read post nr:6) and that was my salvation to launch kaspersky correctly on this “e-machine” – and all other computers I so far has tested (6 different units so far, including the odd e-machine).
Note1: I still must use NTFS as file-system and check “Joliet” when creating ISO.
Note2: This problem we have with kaspersky is not related to my tutorial(s), as we can get kaspersky to run well from a CD/DVD (using EasyBoot as well). It’s when we integrate kaspersky to USB that problem “hovering” over us – and this is mainly a hardware problem. Question is, how to fool these different hardware that different computers use to make kaspersky to run from USB.
Basically – kaspersky isn’t designed to run from USB – that’s the main problem.

Hello balderIf you have approved that all my steps are correct. It seems there's nothing more can be done. And it's time to end up this topic. Thanks for all the way long of your tutorial. Thanks.
Congratulation, balder, when comparing to HP/Compaq and the other brand of factory computer, “e-machine” is the best computer as I know. Nice motherboard, ram and power supply.

@allgames71Quote: "It seems there's nothing more can be done"
Please try this
1. Make a copy of kaspersky.iso (“kav_rescue_10.iso”) and rename ISO to "rescue.iso"
2. Open "rescue.iso" (use UltraIso) and delete folder “rescue” and file “image.squashfs” and file “livecd”
3. Save (“save as”) reduced "rescue.iso" as "rescueusb.iso"
4. Make USB grub bootable the way you find most convenient (easyboot-usb.script as example).
5. Extract file "livecd" from "rescue.iso" to the root of USB
6. Create folder "rescue" on USB
7. Copy "rescue.iso" and "rescueusb.iso" to folder "rescue" on USB
8. Insert menu command to file menu.lst as this:
title Launch kaspersky
map (hd0,0)/rescue/rescueusb.iso (0xff) || map --mem (hd0,0)/rescue/rescueusb.iso (0xff)
map --hook
chainloader (0xff)
Note1: Unfortunately we cannot launch ISO from EasyBoot menu as far as I have tested this – menu.lst works for me)
Note2: you can use FAT32 as well with this method, as “image.squashfs” isn’t used on the root of USB (it’s loaded directly from ISO-file internally).

Hi, Games.sorry am again into the discussion. I learnt that this topic has been closed "Quote: "It seems there's nothing more can be done"
Try this (but this is Grub4DOS):
Extract entire content of ISO and name it the folder kav_rescue_2010 put this folder into the CD/USB root.
now put the below script into menu.lst
title Launch Kaspersky Rescue Disk 2010\n Kaspersky Rescue disk updates till April-23-2010
kernel /kav_rescue_2010/boot/rescue subdir=/kav_rescue_2010
setkmap=us scandelay=5 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc looptype=squashfs
loop=/kav_rescue_2010/image.squashfs cdroot
initrd /kav_rescue_2010/boot/rescue.igz
done everythings works fine CD/DVD or USB, works on all.
I know allgames you are more interested into easyboot. The above thing is just for info incase.
