Hello everyone! New here. Just purchased Easyboot, already had UltraISO.

I have a couple of questions, I tried searching but apparently I am not using the correct wording. Here is what I am trying to do. I have many small utilities that I use at work that are on floppies and some on mini CDs.

1. I used UltraISO to make floppy image and placed that image in the ezboot folder. These are working just fine. I guess the entire floppy got copied in the .ima file. My first question is the CDs that I use. I used Ultra ISO to extract boot info (I hope this was right) and placed that in the ezboot folder. I then made a folder under disk1, and copied all the contents of the cd in there (again I was suppose copy all the files?). When i run that menu item I get file not found. If I take all those files and put them under disk1 (not a folder I made) it works. After a couple of diagnostic CDs that I have, thats alot of files in the root of disk1 folder. Some which have the same name. So question 1 is how do I make the extracted image that is in ezboot folder look for the files in a folder under disk1.

2. I don't have much programming background at all but I can figure out alot with some direction so thanks in advance. A Dell Optiplex Resource CD I have I can't get to work at all. I extracted the boot image with Ultra and placed it in ezboot. Put rest of files in disk1. When I run it I get an error (this is not exact, I'm trying to remember what it said) something abot cd not be high seira or ISO 9660 format. What is this?

3. How do you edit these .bif , .ima, etc... files? Is this where I point them to individual folders under disk1 (question1)?

Thanks again. I'm lost---

All you have to do is to use this command in EasyBoot to launch your stuff from a folder inside disk1:

Code Sample
cd /;cd DISK1;cd FLOPPY;run BLAH.IMG

I tried adding that string in the command line of easyboot. I was getting file not found until I moved minicd.bif from the ezboot folder to the disk1/minicd folder I made. Then it started to run until I reached a point where it was looking for the rest of the files (which were in the same folder). Once again I had to put all 80 or 90 files in the disk1 folder before it would run. What else needs to be changed so it looks for the files in that folder? Is there something thats needs to be edited in the minicd.bif file to tell it to cahnge folders and not use the root?

If so what and how? I could send the minicd.bif to someone if they would like to help out, but I would like to know how to do it for next time.

To Tcruz

About images, mostly images is started in ”dos emulation mode”. In a majority of this you have the option to change path in Autoexec.bat. This means that you can change path in autoexec.bat (point to a separate folder), like this: EasyBoot\disk1\”folder”.

Read this topic to get a hint: http://forum.ezbsystems.net/cgi-bin....;t=1035

Note: It’s possible to extract autoexec.bat from images to a temp-folder, then edit autoexec.bat, and inject it back to image.

Other ways could be this (Incroyable HULK shows how it’s done): http://forum.ezbsystems.net/cgi-bin....1;t=473

But it’s not that easy if we are dealing with *.bin files. But there’s “workarounds”:

And yes I agree, it’s sometimes a little bit messy in disk1-folder.
