Unfortunately I do not have this NBRT.ISO-file in my position :(
This makes it difficult to solve your request ???

Could you please tell me what menu command you used in Easyboot menu to launch this "Norton rescue ISO-file" ???

Note: I'm pretty sure this kind of Norton rescue ISO-files is built using Windows NT6-system as source (NT6-systems are typically Vista or Win-7 or server-2008).

Open ISO-file (you can use UltraIso to open ISO)
If you have folders: "boot" and folder "EFI" and folder "sources" and a file "bootmgr" inside ISO-file, then I can guarantee ISO is built using Windows NT6-system.
And if this is the case you can test following:

1. Copy your Norton rescue nbrt.iso-file to folder ezboot
2. Set menu command in EasyBoot menu to:  run nbrt.iso  (or whatever name you have to ISO-file)
You don't need to check anything when creating ISO in Easyboot.
Then use "Write USB Disk..." in EasyBoot to move your EasyBoot-build to USB drive

Final note: if ISO is different than described above - let me know (tell me what is inside ISO-file when opened ISO using UltraIso) :cool:

Hello

Step 1 - I maked from Norton Bootable Recovery Tool-Assistent (3.5.0.23) a iso file


Step 2 - Copy your Norton rescue nbrt.iso-file to folder ezboot and set menu command in EasyBoot menu to:  run nbrt.iso  and making from UltraISO (V 9.5.0.2800) a USB Stick



Step 3 - Booting from USB Stick the nbrt.iso then come this

I noticed you have option: "ISO-Datei erstellen" use that option to your USB drive.
Point is we are interested what files that is put on the root ???

Note: I found another different Norton tool "Symantec.Endpoint.Recovery.Tool.2.0.24"
To make this run correctly from USB I did following:

1. Created a folder "SOURCES" in folder disk1
2. Used UltraIso to extract folder "DRIVERS" and folder "SYMANTEC_NBRT" from norton.iso-file into folder "SOURCES" in folder disk1
I needed this folders inside folder "SOURCES" in folder disk1 - otherwise Norton couldn't find it's files and drivers.
3. As option I used UltraIso and deleted folder "DRIVERS" and folder "SYMANTEC_NBRT" in folder "SOURCES" in ISO-file as these folders isn't used there anymore - Norton is looking for folders on the "root" and not inside launched ISO-file (Norton ISO-file launched by EasyBoot menu)
Note: it is not needed to delete folders - I'm doing it because it speeds up transfer of the EasyBoot-build to USB drive (ISO is reduced inside which makes it faster to move to USB drive).
But as said - not needed if you find it difficult to do.

You can take a look at a similar scenario < HERE >
In post nr;4 in topic you have a download-link how to reduce size to ISO-file (delete files and folders not needed inside ISO anymore).

The main issue is - what do you have in folder "SOURCES" in your ISO-file ???
Open ISO (I use UltraIso) and if there is more than the file "BOOT.WIM" - then those files and folders must be copied (extracted from ISO) to a folder "SOURCES" in folder disk1 :O
Note: file BOOT.WIM must be left in ISO and should NOT be extracted to folder disk1 :O

Please read again post nr;4 :)

Attention! You don't need to use script at all :O
Simply copy norton.iso-file to folder ezboot and use menu command: run norton.iso (or whatever name you set to iso-file)

However as I wrote in post nr;4  You need to LOOK INSIDE norton.iso-file (I used UltraIso) and examine what files and folders that is inside norton.iso-file

Could you please check out what's inside Norton.iso-file (including what's inside folder "SOURCE" in ISO-file) :cool:
