I use EasyBoot 512 and UltraISO 936 and have problems to make a bootable USB stick

There is a working EasyBoot.iso generated with EasyBoot
From UltraISO I use the *.iso to make a CD
Tools/ Burn CD image
Burns perfect and boots perfect my PC

From UltraISO I use the *.iso to make a USB stick
Bootable/ write disk image
The log looks as following
Boot sector unknown
Burning sucessfull

This USB stick doesnt boot my PC
What is the missing Boot sector ??

How to generate and where to insert it ??

Thanks for answer
Ludwig

Well I have never managed to create any bootable USB device using UltraIso in the way you describe it :(   – which on the other hand – is a piece of excellent software

However – even if you managed to make USB bootable this way, most part of your EasyBoot-build wouldn’t work anyway :O

Please test using my scripts to launch ISO built by EasyBoot.
Use “easyboot-usb” – script to make USB device bootable and to launch ISO-file as it is :;):
Start with a basic build (small sized basic ISO created by EasyBoot) with some basic stuff integrated to EasyBoot-ISO - like ghost floppy image etcetera, and use“easyboot-usb” – script mentioned above.

Note: launching “Live-PE” - typically ERD5 or BartPE, MsDart60, MsDart65 or launching isolinux-PE\Linux (kaspersky, Ubuntu etcetera) is not done in the same way as from CD/DVD-unit.
Same to setup of NT5-systems (WinXP-family) but launching NT6-systems (Vista or Win-7 or Server-2008) can be launched similar as from CD/DVD-unit.
You have to take in consideration that USB approach is different from CD/DVD-approach :O

You have script-collection below in every post I write in this forum.
Read carefully “READ_ME.html” in download :cool:

Thanks Balder

It worked perfect
Did download the latest balder.zip
Then used the script as you described
Now I have a multi-iso-bootable stick

Thank you for your quick help
