Hello, I'm looking for assistance where possible.

I am attempting to create a bootable CD that will give me 2 choices.

1. Delete a WINDOWS BASED Partition
2. Delete a LINUX BASED Partition

when either choice is made I would like it to run to a single batch file that uses the gdisk facility supplied by Symantec, the batch file is listed below just for info. Example:

BATCHFILE: GDisk.bat

@echo off
echo Loading...
cd gdisk
gdisk.exe /del /all
end

This, as you will know would open the gdisk folder and start the .exe with the corresponding switches.

I've looked through the help files within Easyboot and had a scour through the forums but cannot for the life of me work out what is imaged to where, where the above mentioned batch file and folder containing  GDisk should sit in the folder lists for Easyboot?

I'm at a lost cause,

If someone with some expertise in this field would be able to assist me with instruction as to how I can make this work then I would be eternally grateful. Contact me on either Greskdrimlaw@hotmail.com or greskdrimlaw@gmail.com.

PS (Yup, both the choices will lead to the same batch file, thats meant to happen and it's a long story as to why there has to be a menu available at all)

Many Thanks

Jon

Firstly, please make a bootable floppy diskette, which can boot your PC and run the batch file properly (including DOS environment).
Then, make a floppy image by 'Tools'->'Make Floppy Image' to get an xxx.IMG file, put it in c:\easyboot\disk1\ezboot.
Lastly, use 'run xxx.img' as command for menu item to load.
