To whom it might concern
A lot of EasyBoot-users ask for help how to launch ISO-file directly (avoiding extracting files and folders). This is of course the ultimate solution – using ISO-files as they are 
Plenty of ISO-files can be launched using my grub based “kicker-images” – but not all 
However – there is no such thing as a “free lunch”. Not all ISO-files can be launched directly. You have to test for your self which ISO-file that offers “free lunch” 
To make things more easy for EasyBoot-users I have created a special script (easyboot-iso.script) that automatically copy your target ISO-file to EasyBoot and then automatically create “kicker-image” that at same time is automatically modified to launch target ISO-file).
Note: You have to download “Startkit” and continue to scripts and there download easyboot-iso.script. Follow instructions carefully how to manage scripts and winbuilder script-engine.
Scroll down to “Welcome to my website here” to find above-mentioned scripts

Thanks Balder, you always come in handy.
I just want you to take a look at this recent post i´ve made asking for help on loading wifiway correctly so i can use it in the winbuilder script you´ve made to transfer the whole project to a UFD, i finished my build (it works OK, the iso i made with easyboot)
The problem comes when i try to test it on UFD (using your script to transfer the easyboot project to a usb flash drive) and select to bootup wifiway, it tries to load, then gets stuck on the part that its "searching for data folder", and it never loads up, ends up with an error message *sighs*
Any heads up will be really apreciated, as you´ve helped so many people in here
Thanks in advance
Best regards,
fsaaib

@fsaaib
Thanks for reply fsaaib
Generally you must think different when run EasyBoot from ufd – as we are using grub to directly launch easyboot-ISO-file as it is. When this approach is used, root of easyboot (disk1) is lost and basically transferred to root of ufd. This means that you have to copy some file/folder ” that holds the “core” of the program – in this case the “core” from wifiway
I guess that it is this build you are referring to HERE Â @fsaaib (correct?).
To make wifiway run from ufd, test with copy folder wifiway to the root of ufd – we can name it the “new root” if you find it easier to understand - hmmm not the best explanation  Â
Attention for setup of WinXP. As “root” is lost when launching EasyBoot-ISO-file from ufd using grub you cannot launch setup of WinXP the same way as launch setup from CD/DVD-unit. It’s a major difference in this matter. Read post nr; 25 and 27 HERE
Note: easyboot-iso.script is not used to transfer ISO-file to ufd and making ufd bootable  Â easyboot-iso.script is a brand new script that integrate grub bootable ISO-files into EasyBoot structure (directly launch ISO-files without need to extract anything from ISO-file).

Dear Balder,
         Can You Please tell,On what criteria does your "kicker-images" work.
ie.) How do I differentiate between a kickable-iso and a non-kickable iso.
ie.)How do I know if the iso uses grub as boot manager or not.
It would be much easy,if you yourself list those kickable iso's out there.
And Moreover can you Please tell what is the exact command to be given in the "Make iso" dialog box,to load the iso.
And the Winbuilder script,gave out an Error-
"FileCopy - Failed to copy [%BaseDir%\Temp\newimage\SPOT.img] to: [C:\Easyboot\disk1\ezboot]"
-How do I rectify it.

Quote: ”Can You Please tell,On what criteria does your "kicker-images" work.”
Answer: "kicker-images" is based on grub boot manager and load ISO-files using “grub” boot loader facility. You need to read about grub – please google and read. This "kicker-images" you mention is designed by me (basically created in script) and are designed to help EasyBoot to launch ISO-file directly (if possible).
Quote: “How do I differentiate between a kickable-iso and a non-kickable iso.”
Answer: Test and trial as I do . Note: there is no such thing as a "free lunch" - grub cannot launch some ISO-files.
Quote: “It would be much easy,if you yourself list those kickable iso's out there.”
Answer: There are thousands of different ISO-files out “there” for free download – It’s 100% impossible for me to 100% know about all these files and followed by test all this ISO-files (and new ones every minute – in fact new ones when you are reading this post) Â
Quote: “And Moreover can you Please tell what is the exact command to be given in the "Make iso" dialog box,to load the iso”
Answer: You get menu command automatically in the end of script process. Use paper and pen and write down menu command to be used in EasyBoot menu
Note: easyboot-iso.script has been updated. Please download and replace to new script. Attention! Please push “Help-button” in script to better understand how things work Â
Quote: "FileCopy - Failed to copy [%BaseDir%\Temp\newimage\SPOT.img] to: [C:\Easyboot\disk1\ezboot]" What system do you run script in? Read post;5 and post;6 HERE
Note: Make sure you do not have spaces in file names (ISO-file to be integrated as example)
EDIT: @sudhan1991 I discovered a “text bug”
I forgot to put in *.gz in the end of message (menu command message) you get when script is finished.
Note: To all users – if using (downloaded) “winbuilder_complete.zip”. Please do new download and replace the whole folder with updated “winbuilder_complete.zip”.
If you downloaded only easyboot-iso.script (easyboot-iso.zip) separately. Please do a new download and replace script “easyboot-iso.script” in folder winbuilder.
Note: This is only an “ocular” problem. You get in the end a message what menu command to use in EasyBoot menu. Let’s say it is: run erd5.img  which should bee  run erd5.img.gz  (floppy image is as you can notice – always g-zipped for faster load and save space as well).
Regards balder

I'm Working on:
Spotmau 2010,XP SP3,ERD 2008,UBCD 4.1,Active@bootdisk v5,Hiren 10.1 and Ghost v15
Updated the script but,I get no menu command at the end(Where to look for it  ) and i get only this error.
For Spotmau 2010:
FileCopy - Failed to copy [%BaseDir%\Temp\newimage\SPOT.img] to: [C:\Easyboot\disk1\ezboot]
and for ERD 2008:
FileRename - Failed to rename file: [I:\Softwares\Boot Progs\Windows\ERD Commander 2008\ERD\ERD\ERD28.ISO.gz] to:[ERD28.ISO.GZ]
My System config:
Windows XP SP3,2Gb RAM,750Gb HDD

Note1: Check that path in script to easyboot look like this: “C:\easyboot”  and not like this:  C:\easyboot\  and even more important - make sure that EasyBoot is installed on C: (the root) and not in “C:\Program files” or similar! Always remember to avoid spaces in folder and file names
Note2: You don’t get any menu command because script halted in its process – basically, script didn’t finish its whole process
Note3: I have tested script in WinXP, Vista and Win7 without problems and as you currently use WinXP as OP it really shouldn’t be any problem
EDIT: If you trying to integrate a ISO from a folder with this name ERD 2008  Script fails completely – you can not use folder and file names which has spaces. Same if folder name is correct: ERD2008 but name to ISO-file inside folder looks like this: ERD 2008.iso  Please take attention to that you cannot use spaces in names

And
FileCopy - Failed to copy [%BaseDir%\Temp\newimage\UBCD.img] to: [C:\Easyboot\disk1\ezboot]

@ sudhan1991
Sorry, but I persist to believe that you have spaces somewhere – maybe even in name you set for you ISO in script.
I have tested following (Note: quotes only there to show real names):
1. I put in name “TEST” – and no spaces in folder where I have my ISO-file and it works.
2. I put in name “TEST A” and it doesn’t work.
3. I put in space before “ TEST” and it doesn’t work.
4. I put in space in folder where my ISO-file is and it doesn’t work.
Conclusion: watch out for spaces in folder and file names!
You can use easyboot-live.script for some of your builds (builds based on folder i386) - but again - watch out for spaces in folder and file names!

               Hurray!!!            Â
        The Mighty Balder Did it again.
The Script worked like Charm and  the mistake was My drive name,cleared those spaces and got everything Fine.
But It sounded like ERD loaded somewhat slow and that Active@bootdisk asked for the key, which when punched in, works fine.
Thanx For Spending You're Precious Time Balder, You're The Man.
