Hi,
I am new with EasyBoot and its help file is unclear to me.
I want to put a menu with 4 options.
first is flash BIOS.
second is running WinPE2 (default after 3 seconds).
third is boot from hard disk.
fourth is reboot.
I can make a gui with 4 options and get the last two from default.
I have a boot floppy image that used to flash a system BIOS and I extracted it in .img file.
I have a bootable WinPE2 in iso and I extracted it into a folder.
I want to run the first option first by manual choose, auto reboot the system, then the second option will start automatically by default.
The problem is that I do not know where to put the WinPE2 files and how to link it to the run option of EasyBoot. It seems to me that WinPE2 uses Bootmgr to start the CD.

Can anyone also explain the usage of EasyBoot pre-made folders?

Many thanks in advance,
McR

1) Flash BIOS
Put xxx.img to "C:\EasyBoot\disk1\ezboot" folder, and use 'run xxx.img' to load it

2) For WinPE2, please try it this way:
. Open the ISO image by UltraISO
   - Press F4 to extract all files and folders to c:\easyboot\disk1
   - Choose 'Bootable'->'Save boot file' to extract boot image from the ISO, save it as 'c:\easyboot\disk1\ezboot\xxx.bif'
. Use 'run xxx.bif' as command to load it.

Thank for your help,
It works
I took time to read the manual carefully;
It is great.
The only way I do not understand is in the make ISO option, it says "Note: You need not to change Boot Image unless you known how it works"
Can you explain me when I use bcdw.bin and msldr.bin?
THANKS
