this question goes to my favorite seniors (balder & madar): 
as apparent from the screenshot, i created my personal Win XP + Win 7 bootable ISO by using EasyBoot.
What i'm trying to achieve is to use this ISO to boot thru usb?
I tried two softwares namely,
WinToFlash
&
WinToUSB,
but they are only helpful while using individual ISO files, ie i can only use these softwares to boot either UNEDITED windows xp or windows 7 individually or one at a time...
PLZ help me out... :-)
Is there a way to boot my ISO file (created by easyboot) thru USB...?
Or am i at a loss :-(

Short answer: you can’t
But salvation is close
Read post nr;2 < HERE >
In same post you also have link to a third part tool (WinSetupFromUSB_0-2-3.exe) that is needed to integrate setup of WinXP from USB
Create setup for Win-7 from USB can be done without this third part tool– but as it already is integrated to that tool, you can use that solution
Note1: I have created such USB (8GB USB stick) with setup of WinXP_sp3 and Windows-7 using WinSetupFromUSB_0-2-3.exe – and it run setup without problems.
Note2: In case WinXP and Windows-7 use the same name “setup.exe” you can rename them to let’s say: setupxp.exe and\or setupwin7.exe.
Noticed that's you already have done this
Note3: If same folder name is used on the root (folder support or whatever) you most likely can merge files (used for the two different systems) to same folder.
