Hi ;). I made my multiboot iso in easyboot - now i need to make it bootable from my second hdd. I copyied all files and folders from "disc1" to root directory of partition(i made her active) and ... Win 7 installer booted up, no easyboot menu ;/. This is becouse of file "bootmgr" windows 7 so i copied "ezldr" from ezboot directory to root of partition and renamed it to bootmgr. Now easyboot menu boot up but win7 not. I think I must edit MBR of my second disk or hexedit win7 bootfile and here we are... How i can do it? Thanks for help ;)

Interesting (and exiting) experiments you are dealing with @arasso12 
Can you please tell me what file-system you have formatted harddisk to.
Because I haven't managed to make EasyBoot-files to launch correctly from NTFS-file-system but works okay from FAT32-file-system.
So what file-system has that harddisk volume of yours 
Anyway you can test this solution:
1. Make an copy of original bootmgr and rename file to win7mgr
2. Copy win7mgr to the root of harddisk where you have your renamed ezldr (by you renamed to bootmgr)
3. Download "grub-kicker-image" from HERE and put file in folder ezboot
4. Create menu in EasyBoot and use menu command: Â run win7.img
Test and see what happens

As I expected - EasyBoot cannot be run from NTFS must be FAT32

Hmm... Â It should work - but I'll test on another computer
However I do not have the time this evening - I'll let you now as soon as possible 
I need to install WinXP to a FAT32-volym and then test you ideas
Note: this take some time, but tomorrow I most likely have found out what's going on

Thanks for Your help & time . I look forward to hearing from you.
Surprise... On real machine your solution works Win 7 installer boot up well but the rest of my multiboot iso (backtracka, slax, ubuntu ) stop working ;/. In backtrack "Image checksum error". I think all of my tools/systems based on linux stop working ;(
Here is screenshot of my multiboot iso menu ss

I'm confused... Are you saying you can run Win7 on an harddisk that is formatted to FAR32
Or is your goal to launch Win7 installed to harddisk 0ne (primary drive)
I'm confused
Please confirm above what your goal is.
-------------------------------------------------
In meantime I tested following to an WinXP-system (FAT32- filesystem on harddisk)
1. Used menu command in EasyBoot: Â run /ntldr1
2. Renamed existing ntldr to ntldr1 on the root of the harddisk
3. copied folder ezboot to the root of harddisk
4. Copied ezldr from folder ezboot to the root of harddisk
5. Renamed ezldr to ntldr
Conclusion:
1. EasyBoot menu was correctly launched
2. I could use menu command "run ntldr1" to boot into the WinXP-OP-system
I tested Win7-system (NTFS-files system)
From this point I injected grub MBR and copied grldr and text-file menu.lst to the root of harddisk
I could now launch EasyBoot-ISO-file and from EasyBoot menu launch win7.img (run win7.img)
I changed name to bootmgr to win7mgr (though really not needed if you edit menu.lst inside win7.img to instead point to bootmgr and not win7mgr)
Anyway Win7 started up as expected.
However this involves changing MBR to harddisk to grub-MBR which easily can be done READ HERE
Attention! Be careful to point to the right harddisk drive when using this tool
If you still are intereste I can show you what parameters you shall use in text-dile "menu.lst" to launch EasyBoot (we cannot launch EasyBoot with folder ezboot - we must launch ISO-file created by EasyBoot)
But I'm for sure interested how you managed to run Win7 on FAT32 - did you
EDIT: Quote: "the rest of my multiboot iso (backtracka, slax, ubuntu ) stop working"
Several Linux-based systems cannot run on NTFS - but should be able to run from FAT32
However you need some files on the "new root" as well read post nr;2 HERE

I manage to run from grub directly win xp iso, win 7 iso, backtrack(extracted to root partition) but what about the rest i don't know ;/. Could You please help me with menu.lst? I can't do this by myself ;/
EDIT
OK, Almost all done ; D. I need help only with:
What I need to type in menu.lst to boot up kaspersky rescue disc? At the moment i have(isn't working):

map --hook
root (0xff);
chainloader (0xff);
----------------------------------------------
and:
