Hello to everybody!Can comebody tell me, is it possible to run EB from Hard Disk.
I mean Is it Possible to add an extra option to load from OS selector or maybe add smth in boot.ini file to load Easy Boot from specified directory?

Idea is good.It is possible to modify Boot.ini file to load another file other than NTLDR (i.e. running BartPE on HD). If it can be booted like BartPE, it would be possible.
I tried, but I didn't success
I copied EZBoot directory to HD and also copied loader.bin file to root of the HD, and I changed the boot.ini file like below. After trying to boot PC stopped responding
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=C:\
[operating systems]
C:\ = "Windows 98 Command Prompt"
C:\PEBoot.bin="BartPE"
C:\Loader.bin="EZBoot Menu"
When we select BartPE it loads PEBoot.bin file and uses another file that name PELDR and it works fine.
I think, it will be possible to boot HD with EZBoot Menu

There is a small utility named isoemu, you can grab it from < http://dw.ezbsys.net/isoemu.zip > .1) System Requirements
. Windows NTLDR based system (NT/2000/XP/2003)
