Its hard to express my unqualified unmitigated rage over the absolute non-intuitiveness of making a bootable cd.

You provide a way to take the boot info off of a cd and save it as iso, then ya ask for the location of the image in bif extension.

My God have you used this thing after you wrote it?

The help file, as all help file except for one i have seen, the help for JKDefrag, starts nowhere and ends nowhwere.

I recieve no assurance i am making a bootable cd .
Files are selected with nothing more said, no activity, and i have to assume it has gone to the right place... it didnt.

Ive ruined 3 blank cds all without bootability.


The problem is it comes cl-,... sorry, appears to come closer to the chance of making a bootable CD than ALL the others i have tried.

What a mess.

If your too tired to write the help file after the app is coded have someone else do it. What it has now was better left undone

Where is the submit button on this dam page?
Post New Topic is that it? that doesnt makje sense
I dont want to post a new topic i want to submit this post!!!!!

What a mess, what carelessness, what recklessness.

I do agree that help file in EasyBoot is far from a masterpiece in education.

Please download Microsoft Virtual PC (freeware) and test created ISO this way.
Note: in some rare occasions you still need to burn ISO to CD if so, use CD-RW. You can rewrite a standard CD-RW more than 1000 times (if the quality is the right one).

Download Virtual PC from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/Downloa....lang=en

bif-files (boot file) are a file extension used by UltraIso when saving boot file. It's basically the same as a bin-file etcetera. You should in normal case save this boot files to folder ezboot.

EasyBoot\disk1 is the root (you can compare this with hard disk [C:] on a windows system) only difference is that we use CD/DVD instead of a hard disk).

You may ask more questions along this "road trip".
Believe it or not, EasyBoot is in many ways a superior boot manager. In fact, you can even run (boot) EasyBoot from USB device (pendrive/stick or/and hard disk connected via USB).

Note: I am only a humble user (same as you) of this nice piece of software.
