1) Copy all files and folders from original CD to c:\easyboot\disk1
2) Start UltraISO, choose 'Bootable'->'Extract boot file from CD/DVD ...' to get a xxx.BIF, and save it to c:\easyboot\disk1\ezboot
3) Use 'run xxx.bif' to load

I used bootinfotable;run knoppix.bin to run it and worked.

knoppix.bin is a renamed isolinux.bin that is in the \boot\isolinux\ folder of the knoppix 3.8.1 cd.
I copied isolinux.bin to the \ezboot folder and renamed it there.

I also put everything from the knoppix cd into the \disk1 folder.

I've done everything like you said shakko but it can't work. Check attached file to see what I get.

Make sure 'Joliet' option is checked when making an ISO image.

Hi Arizon,

I have the same results with DSL, Flonix and Kaella-Knoppix with the EasyBoot Plugin of Teletom. Even it Boot Fine !!!!

If somebody have an Idea.

Hi arizon,

Can you explain me what you exactly do, because there is a confusion between ".bin" and ".bif" in my brain.

Thanks !!!

Bruce Lee!!
I like step by step guide so here is one for you:

1. Copy all files from Knoppix to C:\EasyBoot\disk1
2. Copy file isolinux.bin from CD  \boot\isolinux to C:\EasyBoot\disk1\ezboot
3. Start EasyBoot and in Menu tab make command bootinfotable;run isolinux.bin
4. Press Make ISO and chech that joliet is turned on

bif files you get with UltraISO. When you insert bootable CD you have option Bootable - Extract Boot File from CD\DVD. When you save that file (knoppix.bif for example) you can use it like isolinux.bin but I didn't try that.

Thanks all the people in this forum who helped me to make this.

Hi Arizon,

I have just solved my problem. In fact I read the ".Iso" built with "UltraIso" and it's not with "Joliet". I put "Joliet" and I save it and It works !!! So "Xoben" is right. There is a mistake in the "[setValue]    in the Plugin of Teletom :

************************************************
[SetValue]
;"..\..\pebuilder.inf", "BuildISO", "exec", """"mkisofs.exe -iso-level 4 -volid """"""BartPE"""""" -A PEBUILDER/MKISOFS -sysid """"""Win32"""""" -b ezboot/loader.bin -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -hide loader.bin -hide boot.catalog -o """"""@IsoFile@"""""" """"""@OutDir@"""""""&quo
t;
;"..\..\pebuilder.inf", "BuildISO", "exec", """"plugin\ezboot\mkiso.cmd """"""@IsoFile@"""""" """"""@OutDir@"""""""&quo
t;
***********************************************

But how to insert "Joliet" in "Mkisofs.exe" ?

Thanks for your reply.

I think that I have to insert "-J" for "Joliet" in the line of "Mkisofs.exe".

I test it and I inform you for the result.

It don't work !!! With "UltraIso 7.5.0.956" with :

1/ Open the Iso to modify
2/ Property
3/ Put "Joliet"
4/ It automatically put to "Standard (64)"
5/ OK
6/ save to the initial ".Iso"

It work !!!!!

Enjoy !!!

I don't know that.
I've downloaded .iso file from Knoppix site, burn image on CD/RW and get bootable disc with Knoppix on it. I've copied all contens from cd like I've described it.
