Dear Balder,

Previously I had created a multi boot [XP+7] ISO.
Now I just replaced the Win7 files with the Win8 ones (also replaced the boot image file).

IMG1:

IMG2:

Now I'm facing a problem while installing windows 8 (see IMG1) when I run from a multi boot DVD, the screen just hangs there.
But the original setup of windows 8 runs fine (see IMG2).

Help me out what I'm doing wrong here...?
Thanks :)

Test to only have Win8 in folder disk1 and nothing else (to reduce the total size of DVD-build :O
And tick only 'Joliet' when creating ISO in EasyBoot as well :cool:

My DVD size is 3.5GB (XP SP2 + Win8_x86)

Did, but still the same issue, i.e IMG1...

Now what Balder...?

Hmmm... I know that this sounds odd, but test following

Copy win8.ISO-file as it is to folder EZBOOT and use menu command: run win8.iso  (or whatever name you use to ISO-file)

Don't have anything else in folder disk1 (empty and only have folder EZBOOT in place) :p

We are interested to see if we at least can full-fill the first 'setup-part' of the setup sequence ???
Note: setup will halt complaining it cannot find drivers to the CD\DVD-unit (at least hopefully it 'walks' that far) :cool:

Well thanks for the help Balder.

I started everything from scratch again & guess what everything runs fine.

Seems I sorted out my problem myself.

Thanks again Balder.
& Happy Diwali... :)

Sorry as this is not a part of EasyBoot approach, I cannot give you any support to this kinds of requests :O
However I can recommend you an excellent site where you most likely get proffessional help to issues like above :;):

Be a member (create account) to the 'reboot-community' ('boot-land') and start asking question regarding issues like this
Link is < HERE >

Note: I'm already since many years member to this community :laugh:
