Hmmm… I guess you mean an ISO-image created by EasyBoot with menu to launch setup of Win-7 ???  
Is this a correct description of your request?

If this is the case, test this:
Copy everything from your Win-7 source to folder disk1 in Easyboot.
Create menu in EasyBoot and use menu command:  run vistaldr.bin

Create ISO in EasyBoot and you are “home”

Some notes: Check that you have file vistaldr.bin in folder ezboot – it should be there.
You can make a copy of boot file vistaldr.bin and use name win-7.bin and change menu command to: run win-7.bin

Okay, let me put it this way then ???
You want to launch Win-7 setup-ISO with EasyBoot? Correct?

And yes you can launch ISO as it is but setup won’t work properly :O
You need to extract files and folders as told in tutorial in post nr;2 .

However, you can launch Win-7PE ISO-file directly without the need to extract any files :;):
This is done using my script “easyboot-iso.script” :laugh:

ok I was watching something about "EasyBoot-iso.script" and I see that you created something qeu ... is there anyway to get it? or how to build ...
thanks for responding and take your time.

Well low your eyes a little bit :;):  and you find: “Download complete set of scripts including help file HERE”

You find latest updated set including script-engine “WinBuilder” that I use to control script collection.
It would be nice if you read “READ_ME.html” before starting asking questions ???

Some notes how to use scripts:
1. Extract to the root of harddisk C:\
2. Use folders on the same root (C:\) for ISO-files that you want in your build
3. Do not use the desktop
4. Do not have spaces in name to folder and files. Example: “Hiren’s BOOT cd.ISO” doesn’t work, But Hiren’s_BOOT_CD.ISO is okay.  Same to folder where you keep your ISO-files – no spaces in name please.
5. If running script in Vista/Win-7, set UAC (User-Account-Control) to lowest level and run as “Administrator”.

Note: If using script like easyboot-usb.script, take attention to this:
As a precaution to not destroy data on a second USB disk OR a second partition - includes both hided as unhidden partition(s) - script automatically scan what USB device(s) that are connected to your computer.
In case you have more than one USB device that script has discovered (or think is) a second USB disk OR a USB disk with several partitions, script halts to not destroy any data.

-----------------------------------------------
Some explanation how USB-script works…
Script analyse if USB device is a “fixed” (in most cases a harddisk) or “removable” (USB-stick/thumb-drive).
If script detect USB device as “fixed” it automatically use NTFS as file system (can be overridden with checking “Force Format to FAT32”).
If script detect USB device as “removable” it automatically use FAT32 as file system
However - even if script detect USB device as “removable”, and USB device is larger than 32 GB in size (let’s say 64GB), it automatically select NTFS as file system to avoid the 32GB-limit to FAT32 (can be overridden with checking “Force Format to FAT32” but not recommended).

As far as I know there is no script that can do all this fully automatically – no need to set a lot of parameters manually (and make mistakes this way).
The “backside” is that to make script as safe as possible – script must refuse to handle more than one USB device - or more than one partition on USB device - to not get confused what is the target for the whole operation :p

thanks for your help !....

Sorry, I cannot to 100% understand your request ???
What ISO-file are you trying to integrate into EasyBoot?

Regards balder

Regards balder

my idea is this:
1-windows 7 64bit = windows7,iso
2-ubuntu 10.10 64 bit = ubuntu.iso
3-hirenboot 12 = hitenboot.iso
.........
what I do is that instead unzip the entire contents, run the iso.

this can be done?

I leave here I did before, but now with 64bit but I can not get a DVD 5.

Okay - your intention is to create a large DVD with Win-7_64-bit, UBUNTU and finally Hiren BOOT-cd
Follow guide-lines below and see if it works for you :cool:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Win-7 64-bit solution:
Extract everything from Win-7 ISO-file to folder EasyBoot\disk1
Create menu in EasyBoot and use command:  run vistaldr.bin
Note1: you can make a copy of vistaldr.bin and rename file to – let’s say – win7_64.bin and change menu command to:  run win7_64.bin


To solve UBUNTU test this:

1. Download ubuntu.zip-file from < HERE > and put file (ubuntu.zip) in folder ezboot
2. Use menu command in EasyBoot:  memdisk ubuntu.zip
3. Copy downloaded ubuntu.ISO-file to EasyBoot\disk1
4. Rename ISO-file to UBUNTU.ISO (Attention! Use CAPS! BIG LETTERS)
5. Create ISO as usual in EasyBoot Note: you don’t need to check “Allow Lower Case” or “Joliet” as we use memdisk and launching ISO as it is.
Note: no guaranties that it works for version of UBUNTU ISO-file you are using – but no harm in testing


Solution to Hiren, test this:

Use my script easyboot-iso.script and press separate button for integration of Hiren BOOT-CD
Script automatically gives you the right menu command to us in your menu :;):
