Well, I do it in a simple way.
I've made a multiboot DVD. One menu entry is "load DOS with utilities". When I choose this option, a msdos 8.0 floppy image is loaded. This image has cd-dvd support (mscdex.exe, cdrom.sys), mouse support, and usb support.
The last line in autoexec.bat in the floppy image load a menu showing me all available utilities in dos mode. I make this menu with Norton Utilities 5.0 (editing norton.cmd). This menu is very easy to use. You can get other utilities to create your own menu in dos mode. But you don't need it at all.
When you select a item in this menu, a bat file is runned. In this script, I navigate to a folder called "utils" in the dvd, and load the apropiate program. If you don't have menu, you need to navigate in dos mode (manually) to the folder "utils", and then run fprot.exe (or the desired utility).
In my CD, I have 60Mb of DOS utilities availables, including ntfs access, norton, mcafee, and fprot antivirus, partition magic, utilities to recover mbr sector, explorers for dos, pkzip, arj, easyrecovery for dos, data recovery, ghost, and more. All are loaded from the same floppy dos image (you don't need to reboot to change the utility).

thanks for the response i think it would work for me but i have one question. does it matter the letter of the cdrom when i put the path to the files? what i am trying to say is that i could run my cd from different computers where the letter of cdrom might change, so to be brief the path to files on my cd depend on the letter of cdrom or not? if you can give me an example on how you set the path files in your menu to point to the files on your cd or dvd. i hope you can understand what i am trying to say  sorry about my english and thanks again.

I will show you a "menu.bat" file that I put in the bootable floppy image. You can call it from "autoexec.bat" if you like.
Inside "D:\utils\emergenc\" I put Norton Menu, a copy of "menu.bat" and a lot of "*.bat" files to call to each dos utility.
Inside "D:\utils\emergenc\dos" I put all the files of the operating system.
Inside "D:\utils\emergenc\" I put one subfolder for each dos utility. For example "d:\utils\emergenc\fprot\", or
"d:\utils\emergenc\pqmagic\", or "d:\utils\emergenc\easyrec\".
If you do this, you will have a very ordenated structure.
MENU.BAT
*************************************************
@echo off
break on
cls
rem %ubicmenu% is a environment variable and it's available to another *bat files you want to create
if not "%UbicMenu%"=="" goto RUN
rem It will run this part only the first time
set UbicMenu=ERROR
echo.
echo.
echo This program will find the path to dos utilities...
echo Please insert the appropiate CD.
echo.
pause
rem You need to put "menu.bat" in the appropiate folder
for %%i in (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if exist %%i:\utils\emergenc\menu.bat set UbicMenu=%%i
if "%UbicMenu%"=="ERROR" goto ERROR
:SET
rem Inside "emergenc" folder I've copied Norton Menu and
rem a lot of *bat files to call to other dos utilities, which are situated in subfolders.
set path=%UbicMenu%:\utils\emergenc;%path%
rem Inside "dos" folder I've copied the operating system: format.com, smartdrv.exe, xcopy.exe, edit.com, mem.exe, etc.
rem These are files that you don't need in the bootable floppy image
set path=%path%;%UbicMenu%:\utils\emergenc\dos
:RUN
%UbicMenu%:
cd %UbicMenu%:\utils\emergenc
rem The program that I'm using to make the menu is Norton Utilities 5.0, editing "norton.cmd" file.
rem If you are using another menu utility, you must change this program call
norton
cls
rem This message appears when I exit from Norton Menu.
echo.
echo.
echo You can load the MENU again if you type "menu" and press ENTER
echo.
goto END
:ERROR
echo.
echo.
echo ERROR: I couldn't find menu.bat
echo.
set UbicMenu=
:END
*******************************************************
That's one example of the *.bat files, situated at "d:\utils\emergenc\fprot.bat" (in the environment search path).
FPROT.BAT
************************************************
@echo off
break on
cls
%ubicmenu%:\utils\emergenc\fprot\fprot.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
************************************************

Hey Kooler...
you were desperate. Now you're cool.
Say, at least, THANKS JACONBUE!
Next time you run into trouble you might need him again.
