@BoiiwondaAs this seems to be you first post in this forum – I say welcome
To create setup for WinXP do this:
Copy all of the contents of files and folders to easyboot\disk1
Rename setup.exe to setupxp.exe
Rename folder Support to SupportXP
Create menu and use menu command: run W2ksect.bin
(check that you have W2ksect.bin in folder ezboot)
To create setup for Win-7 do this:
Copy all of the contents of files and folders to easyboot\disk1
Create menu and use menu command: run vistaldr.bin
(check that you have vistaldr.bin in folder ezboot)
To integrate Ubuntu do this:
Copy Ubuntu-ISO-file to easyboot\disk1
Rename ISO to exactly UBUNTU.ISO
Note: Use CAPS to the whole name
Download my created “kicker-image” from < HERE >and put downloaded file as it is (ubuntu.zip) to folder ezboot.
Create menu and use menu command: memdisk ubuntu.zip
Attention! When creating ISO check “Joliet”
It’s possible Joliet affect WinXP-setup – or perhaps not
For Ubuntu this is even more unsure if you can fully launch setup this way – give it a try…
Check if it works
Note: If testing in some kind of “Virtual PC” take attention to that Ubuntu is very slow in respond – its so slooooow….

@BoiiwondaQuote: “but XP and W7

Note1: to make WinXP and Win-7 you must use original names (extract files from original ISO) to easyboot\disk1 (not hex edit sources).
For example WinXP must have folder i386. What folder is WinXP using? Folder i386 or a folder with different name?
In case this source use a different folder name you can, extract boot-file from working ISO (use UltraIso) and save boot-file to folder ezboot and use this to launch WinXP (run bootfile.bin or rename boot-file to a more accurate name “setupxp.bif” or whatever)
I tested Win-7 following my tutorial in post nr:2 – and it works perfect!
Is this one also hex edit? If so, extract boot-file from ISO and save to folder ezboot and use that boot-file to launch setup of Win-7.
Note2: you must save boot-files with name that you easily can regognize – something like: win7.bin and use menu command in easyboot. Run win7.bin
Note3: UltraIso use most likely ***.bif as extension and not ***.bin but works the same in the end.
Note4: When creating ISO - do not check “optimise” do not check “DOS(8:3)” – only check “Joliet” as this is necessary for the Ubuntu.
For Hiren:
Download my set of script (you have download below all posts I write).
Read carefully “READ_ME.html” in zip-file “balder”.
Use easyboot-iso.script to integrate Hiren.
Check “Allow lower case” when creating ISO
Note: Integrate Win-7 and WinXP BEFORE integrating Hiren.
This is necessary as you also need to check “Allow lower case” when creating ISO – and when using this checkbox - files to win-7 and especially WinXP (NT5-system) must have files and folder names uppercased. This is done automatically by easyboot-iso.script when you integrate Hiren.
