hi guys. im new to this, but very interested to learn so please bear with me. i have been reading around the forum but most of the time, i honestly admit i dont know what people are talking about. So heres what i want to be done.

i have ISO files of :

1) ERD Commander 2005

2) Hiren's BootCD 8.4

3) Damn Small Linux 301

4) XP Recovery Console ISO ( 8MB ISO to boot directly to the windows recovery)
         

i dont know where, how to start :(

The error message says 'File not found', please check it:

Example:
command 'run xxx.bif'
c:\easyboot\disk1\ezboot\xxx.bif should exist

ive checked it several times. bif files are all there. ive tried probably about 20 times more or less. maybe im missing a very basic setting. as ive said, im new to this.

or il try a diffrent virtual machine, im using parallels workstation atm. it shouldnt be a problem but ill just get microsoft just to be shure

Suggestion:
1) Uninstall EasyBoot and delete c:\easyboot folder
2) Re-setup EasyBoot
3) Start EasyBoot, do not change anything but click 'Make ISO'
4) Test the ISO by VMWare or Virtual PC
It should work properly.

Then you can chenge menu text and the command-parameters one-by-one and try it out.
