Well this is a little bit outside this forum ???  - but I'll help you a little bit :)

Method A:
Download Hiren's ISO and extract folder HBCD from ISO-file to your 'root' (partition C:)

Double-click to 'dosimg.cmd' inside folder HBCD\Dos and follow instructions
Note: you must install 'imdisk' (you get instructions while running 'dosimg.cmd', you can later uninstall imdisk)

This creates a complete new 'dos.img' inside folder HBCD\Boot. Copy this dos.img to folder EZBOOT and use menu command run dos.img

Note: dos.img is 20MB in size but have all those interesting DOS-tools including 'BIOS Password Cracker 5.0' and 'bad sector repair utilities'

Method B:
Try to find floppy images of 'BIOS Password Cracker 5.0' and 'bad sector repair utilities' from somewhere on Internet
Copy each floppy image to folder EZBOOT and use menu command;  run ***.img
Note: I wasn't able to find such images, so I guess we are forced to use method A above ???

Why are you deleting 'boot folder' ??? ???  

Please simply copy (or extract from Hiren ISO-file) the whole folder 'HBCD' and also file 'HBCDMenu.cmd' to folder 'disk1' in Easyboot :cool:

Use menu command 'run /HBCD/grldr'
Tick 'Joliet' when creating ISO in EasyBoot :;):

Test NOT USING 'Joliet' when creating ISO in EasyBoot, see if this solves your problem :O
However, 'Joliet' shouldn't have any affect to files in WinXP, instead Parted Magic most likely will fail :(
But this is just a test :cool:

I think your build is pretty large in size - isn't it ???
This can cause problems - besides of this, Hiren's folder and files shouldn't have any impact to files in WinXP-folders :O
