i`ve done  everything like this:
1) Make a folder named 'xpen' under 'c:\easyboot\disk1'
2) Copy 'win51' and 'win51p' (from root directory of original CD) to 'c:\easyboot\disk1'
3) Copy I386 folder to 'c:\easyboot\disk1\xpen'
4) Copy wxp.bat from 'c:\easyboot\resource' to 'c:\easyboot\disk1\xpen', and run it there
5) Copy w2ksect.bin in 'c:\easyboot\disk1\ezboot' to a new file xpen.bin
6) Start EasyBoot, click 'Tools'->'Replace Text', browse file 'c:\easyboot\disk1\ezboot\xpen.bin', and specify 'I386' as "Text to Replace", 'XPEN' as "Replace to", then click 'Replace', 1 occurence should be replaced
7) Do step 6 to 'c:\easyboot\disk1\xpen\setupldr.bin', and replace 'i386' to 'xpen', 4 occurences should be replaced
8) Open 'c:\easyboot\disk1\xpen\txtsetup.sif' by NotePad (or UltraEdit), search for 'SetupSourcePath', and change [SetupSourcePath = "\"] to [SetupSourcePath = "\XPEN"] (not include [])
9) Set the menu item's command as 'run xpen.bin'


and add windows 98
problem is when i start
windows 98 strats OK but XP cant,only line on the top of the screen is blinking,do you know what can be the problem??

Hello miodziarz

Make sure that folder xpen is uppercase like this: XPEN (I mean folder itself must be named uppercase)

One more thing: I think you need Win51-files in folder XPEN as well. It’s necessary to have this files here to, because when Computer reboots (after finishing copying files) the system uses the new path to “root” witch we have changed in Txtsetup-file from originally root to “new root” witch is XPEN.  

Please note that I use another way to create multiboot-CD/DVD. I always reduce size and in same time use the created boot folder according to different windows NT-system (2000, 2000 server, winXP-home, or pro, sp1, sp2 etcetera).

Finally: Don’t use DOS(8.3) or Joliet when creating ISO. Only use “Optimize”.

“SetupSourcePath = "\XPEN" to be sure, change to this SetupSourcePath = "\XPEN\"

Quote: “7) Do step 6 to 'c:\easyboot\disk1\xpen\setupldr.bin', and replace 'i386' to 'xpen', 4 occurences should be replaced”
Did you change to uppercase (XPEN) in setupldr.bin to?
