Hi guys... i'm one of the people that uses easyboot to try multibooting different bootable cds... and of course I also did try multibooting it with linux bootable cds like #### small linux... but then I cant also make it right... and I did research bout this... and finally made a conclusion that it is not possible to multiboot this two type of OS... for the fact that WINDOWS MUST BE FORMATTED WITH STANDARD ISO 9660 WHIILE LINUX MUST BE FORMATTED WITH JOLIET 
.. its not an issue bout the easyboot... easyboot does really support linux but the real issue is the CD format... and I think the real question that we should be answering is how do we make windows type bootable cds support joliet format or linux type bootable cds support ISO 9660... i did search on forums like in here and many of them says it can.. and i dont know why and how.. i did able to multiboot this using easyboot and checked the joliet format... please be reminded that it's really important to use "bootinfotable;run knoppix.bif" in the menu for linux 
... then after this the two OS worked and my #### small linux worked fine... although BartPE booted properly... it cannot run basic programs like notepad, wordpad, calculator, etc... that's the best thing i think i could do with this issue....I really hope that others would post replies w/ this. It's really good to think that you would be able to use only one CD and being able to read most type of the file system of the harddisk..

After multiple test I findThe probleme is the system file.....
With easyboot when you create the iso you should put Joliet type, put when you select this, some prog in PE don't work.
Ok, I test create the iso with CDIMAGE with joliet type, and My iso work fine....
I test the last version of easyboot, and don't work, so try CDIMAGE to make the iso
