hello
paragon disk manager ISO file doesn't work at all
-I tried extracting the contents and the BIF but it will just blink a white dash over black background
so maybe boot sector needs modification

-loading the ISO file via BCDW and or ISOlinux will fail too
the ISO file is 40 mbgytes

Finally I tried running the file called dos.img which exists in the ISO image after moving it to  " ezboot\disk1\ " I put the other contents on root of bootable CD and also inside "ezboot\disk1\" directory , both cases failed
but this time without a blink actually dos.img booted and initiated PS/2 mouse and graphical interface then showed this error message
"Recovery media error" if you see this window it means that some error occurred in booting

so how can I put the extracted data of ISO image in a place where dos.img can use it after booting and continue loading ?

ok i got it , it has been a hard answer to find , and here is what any paragon user should do::
paragon products can not be booted by a separate bif file cuz their boot sector is modified and ofcourse you can't load ISO file directly "except acronis"
so you use the following line as your easyboot command

bcdw /ezboot/isolinux.bin /paragon/vmlinuzp initrd=/paragon/initrd.gz splash=silent quiet root=/dev/ram0 eng_ver vga=0x314

for this to run you must have isolinux in your ezboot folder
while the contents of paragon ISO in a folder "paragon"
on your bootable CD root
one more thing if you get  "could not load kernel image vmlinuzp" error
this means you paragon hard manager is older than mine and uses BZimage kernel so replace the word vmlinuzp with BZimage in your easyboot command
ofcourse you can check which file exists in your paragon folder contents and save yourself the trouble
I learned that from the UBCD forum
http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/forums....manager
obviously we need to understand the small pieces of linux we are using instead of blindly putting the lines, this may actually solve all our problems I got here

common easyboot methods are great but when problems happen you need to dig your way like people working with more difficult solutions like UBCD

Well!  You figured something out for yourself!  I wish I could do that!  No seriously, this boot disk bull**** is frustrating!  Anyway, I'm gonna try that!
