I would do a dual layer DVD with many thing.... :p

-Win Vista Ultimate (vista base boot)
-Win XP Pro (XP base boot)
-Ophcrack (linux base boot)
-Winkey (XP base boot)
-Knoppix (linux base boot)
-norton ghost (the part of cd boot)
-Partition Magic (diskette boot)
-Hiren (unkown for the moment base boot)
-etc.......

I have collected all iso file.
I have try your soft and after nothing.
I go on your forum and read only a little.
And.....
I have see.
I do use and modify your batch for XP.
I do modify in XP image some file for redirect good directory. And that for each and all new booting-thing.
For XP base boot, it is easy. I can follow your instruction your forum. And Linux too with many test and crash.
But for other, I do the pionner boot for your technologies software. If I buy your software, it is not for work freely for your company.

For knowing system and small playing, your software can be acceptable. But when you do professional high-end services in informatic, I think no.

Now you understand why I wrote "More I understand, More I do wrong way".

There are mainly two missions to create a multi-boot CD/DVD:
1) Start your computer from a CD/DVD with menu, so you can choose which system to load.  
2) Run into the selected system from CD/DVD

With EasyBoot, you can create a multi-boot menu easily. So the real challenge is migration single-boot systems into one multi-boot environmemt.

A bootable system should be one of the following types:
1) 1.44/2.88MB bootable floppy image + necessary files on CD/DVD
For example:
-norton ghost (the part of cd boot)
-Partition Magic (diskette boot)
-Hiren (unkown for the moment base boot)

2) 2-64KB non-emulation boot image + necessary files on CD/DVD
For example:
-Win Vista Ultimate (vista base boot)
-Win XP Pro (XP base boot)
-Ophcrack (linux base boot)
-Winkey (XP base boot)
-Knoppix (linux base boot)

You can find general guides from < http://forum.ezbsystems.net/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=1;t=1738 > .

As most single-boot systems are not multi-boot ready, you must treat one system by another, no unique solution is available. Some systems have anti-multi-boot codes in their boot image, 'give it up' may be the only choice.
