Hi Balder,
Rest assured I know how Hiren's works.However ,I know nothing about Easy Boot.I don't even own this software.
QUOTE
By Babac"The file of this software is in .exe format only.Is it possible to convert it into whatever format to make it work in Hiren's?"

By balder No absolutely not

It is what I thought.I presume (and I always did) the file should be in the ISO format.
Correct???
QUOTE
By balderDo it this way:

1. Create floppy image of parted magic and give it name partmagic.img


How do I create a floppy image.I tried with Ultra ISO and I ended up with a file of over 90 gb and an error message at the end.
Thanks for remainning in the Christmas mood!

Yes or No or anything depending if you mean EasyBoot or something completely different :p
Such question makes no sense in EasyBoot forum ???

Quote: "How do I create a floppy image"
What is the purpose with creating such image if you are bound to use ISO-file?
I don't see the point of this?
How are you going to use that image?
But I can give you one last answer to this (you need EasyBoot):

1. Launch EasyBoot

2. Press button 'Tools' and chose 'Create New Floppy Image'

3. Chose a size you like to use to floppy image

4. As 'Seed Image' you can use 'setup98.img' in folder 'ezboot'
Note: this 'Seed Image' creates a DOS MASTER BOOT RECORD (MBR)

5. Push 'Create' (you now have a new floppy image with DOS MBR

Another method to create floppy image up to size '2,88 Mb' is to use my script 'easyboot kicker-image.script'
This script can create floppy images with DOS MASTER BOOT RECORD (MBR) or GRUB MBR or with NT MBR
Depending what the purpose is to use floppy image to
Note: I cannot continue this discussion in HERE

Well you can always test the freeware part of Easyboot.
Anyway.... This is EasyBoot forum and not a forum for 'general purpose' :angry:

I must redirect you to UltraIso forum - HERE
Start asking questions in UlltraIso forum which most likely is the best matching forum for your different requests :cool:

EDIT:
Personal thoughts on Hiren ???

I find it hard to understand this obsession to Hiren - some of them even mediocre collection of software - and most likely never needed!
Further more, each of these software can anyway be launched from EasyBoot menu without the help of Hiren's Boot CD!

Why not build your own 'rescue CD' with exact the 'tools' that may be needed

Hi Balder,
The reason is simple.I'm lazy and Hiren is already built.
However, I'm ready to work(not too hard though) and give Easy Boot  a trial.
Is there a good tutorial somewhere to learn how to build my own rescue disk?When I say good, iI mean better than the average. :D
Thanks.

You need to use 'Search' in upper right corner and also search both to 'Older' as 'Newer' topics :O
As search word you can use 'acronis' (to find out how to launch acronis rescue-CD as example)
and the same procedure to most of other software :O

However I do recommend the awesome tutorial ('The missing manual') by @AltairAC - HERE

Note: some of the stuff in this tutorial is partly changed from EasyBoot_v6 and later - but overall a very useful 'step-in' to the 'world of EasyBoot' :cool:

1-I'm stuck on the very 1st step.
Can you explain how I do that?
2-When doing this, should the file used be in the ISO format?
Thanks

Well that part is extremely easy to do and you are already stuck to this :;):

When you install as example Partition_Magic_Pro_8.05__Build_1371 you have in program possibility to create 'rescue' floppy.
Program creates a bootable floppy with partition_magic.
You can then use in EasyBoot built-in facility to 'read' and thereby create a image of this floppy by using button 'Tools>>Make Floppy Image' having that floppy in its slot
You of course need a floppy unit to make it work :O

Another way is to find a working floppy image of partition_magic_Pro_8 on Internet (still not impossible despite that partition_magic is an 'old' software)
When you have the floppy image, you copy it to folder EZBOOT and use menu command:  run pm8.img  (or whatever name you use to image)

Note: this is just an example how software (in this case using a floppy image) can be launched from the menu of EasyBoot :cool:

Another example is Norton Ghost 15.0 that also can create a 'bootable rescue media' - but in this case a bootable ISO-file that you copy to folder EZBOOT and use menu command: run ghost.iso  (or whatever name you use to ISO-file)

Note: ISO-file of Norton Ghost 15.0 is based on NT6 and can directly be launched from the menu of EasyBoot

Hi Balder,
Yes, I have a floppy device on one of my computers.

Thinking it over, I think that what I'm trying to do is something impossible.Let's forget about PartMagic and Hiren's.
What I want to do is to make a bootable CD with the Stellar Phoenix Data Recovery .exe file ,so I can boot on it when Windows does not work anymore.
Is it possible???

I checked its menu and did not find anything about creating a floppy image whatsoever.
Thanks.

Well I do not have, or use this software - which makes it difficult to find out options in software ???

If you cannot create a 'bootable media'  - floppy image of bootable ISO-file - from Stellar Phoenix Data Recovery, then it cannot be used inside EasyBoot :p

EasyBoot is used from the point computer boots and is then able to launch different 'rescue software' (chosen by user).
You must understand what EasyBoot is a kind of tool :cool:
EasyBoot is a 'boot manager' launched when computer boots and not at all used inside a Windows system to launch 'tools' from that point.

As far as I have found out, it seems to be run from inside of a Windows system (but I still think there must be some option in Stellar Phoenix Data Recovery to create a 'bootable media', but as I do not have this tool to test on, I cannot give you any more advices at this point - in fact - I had never even heard about this product:  'Stellar Phoenix Data Recovery' :O

Hi Balder,
Thanks for these explanations.I will go deeper and try to find out if I can find  at ool to crate a bootable media.
In the meantime,I would like to come back to this previous discussion:
QUOTE

Do it this way:

1. Create floppy image of parted magic and give it name partmagic.img
2. Open Hiren ISO-file with UltraIso (keep ISO opened in UltraIso to the end of this tutorial)

3. Inject partmagic.img to folder HBCD/Dos

4. Extract (drag and drop) text file menu.lst from inside of folder HBCD to the root (C:)

5. Open menu.lst on the root (use notepad)

6. Change this text:etc etc...


Some thing is still not clear in my mind as far as step one.
Prior to creating the floppy image,I presume I have to set the PartImage file some how, some where....???
Thanks

I'm unsure what you mean with 'set' ???
If you mean how to 'set' DOS commands inside floppy image - I suggest we leave this for the moment.

If you mean to launch floppy image from EasyBoot, you simply copy floppy image to folder EZBOOT and use menu command in EasyBoot menu:  run parted_magic.img  (or whatever name and extension you use to floppy image)

However if you mean how to 'set' floppy image to launch from the mofified Hiren you 'set' this command inside text file 'menu.lst' that is a part of grub (grub boot manager is used inside Hiren ISO-file).

You could also use my script 'easyboot-hiren_v14*.script' to integrate hiren ISO-file into EasyBoot :)
When done you can as example copy floppy image of parted magic to inside of folder 'easyboot\disk1\hbcd\dos'
And finally make changes to text file 'menu.lst' in folder disk1\hbcd as told in post nr; 18
Create iso in EasyBoot (tick only 'Joliet')

Hmmmm.... I'm still unsure what your problems is here ???

He, he.... I'm still in the 'Christmas mood' :laugh:  (dressed Christmas tree yesterday with help of my grandchild)
