Is anyone aware how to make the bootable Drive Image CD work with EasyBoot? The CD uses WinPE, so I followed instructions in other threads on how to put it all together so EasyBoot will boot to the CD after renaming the \i386 directory to something else (\DIMG in this case). All that part of it seems to work fine - I made the four changes necessary in the SETUPLDR.BIN file, the change needed in the BIN file and the change in the TXTSETUP.SIF file. I can now start the boot process by hitting "1".Everything seems to go along fine until the part of the boot process where the network gets set up. I get the error, from MS Visual C++ Runtime Library: Program G:\DIMG\Execute\PQRShell.exe - abnormal program termination". The system then reboots.

Ok, nevermind - figured it out. Apparently all I need to do is post a request for help to allow myself to figure it out. 
In order to boot, the CD requires several folders to be copied to the root and in my case I forgot one of these folders: \EN. As soon as I added that folder to the mix, things worked perfectly. My EasyBoot DVD now includes the following:BartPE
Win98
Win98SE Upgrade
Win98SE Full
Win98SE updates from WindowsUpdate.com
WinXP Pro
Ghost
IBM Disk Manager
Drive Image
MS Office 2000, slipstreamed to SP3
Cool, huh?

I'm sorry, tehicks. I only just now noticed your post! It's been too long since I figured this out and I wouldn't be able to easily put a step-by-step together for you. HOWEVER, with the possible difference of the \EN folder mentioned above, I basically just followed the instructions posted elsewhere in this forum for installing WinPE and/or WinXP. The Drive Image bootable CD is based on WinPE, and the disc works the same was as the WinXP disk...
