Hi, is there anyone here that tried to make a multi boot cd with NTFS.com bootcd iso?
I've tried to put the ntfs reader from the bootcd (ntfs reader bootcd) in a multiboot cd (with other progs... like all-in-1 cd) but when i extract the bootsector with WinImage, put the image file (xxx.ima) in ezboot (and the other files in disk1 dir) and try it in VMware this image gives errors (they use FreeDos) when detecting the disk/cdrom... has anyone tried it so that could help me ?!

i've made some tests and the problem is when the devices are loaded in config.sys file... don't now why but they don't load... like the cdrom driver (atapicd.sys), when i use easyboot. but if i use the original cd iso from ntfs the drivers are loaded. is this a easyboot bug?!

Hello ita, please use BCDW to load this FreeDOS-based image (xxx.ima):
=================================
a) Get a copy of BCDW from http://bootcd.narod.ru/index_e.htm
b) Extract bcdw.bin to c:\easyboot\disk1\ezboot
c) Make a directory c:\easyboot\disk1\bcdw, and create a text file there,
name it as bcdw.ini, and enter the following strings line by line:
;*********************
\EZBOOT\xxx.ima

[Options]
RootMenu=\BCDW\BCDW.INI
;*********************
d) Use 'run bcdw.bin' as menu command
==============================

I've tried that and worked fine, 10x :)
But i have one question, if i have more boot images based on freedos how can i use this method to load them?
For example:
ntfsreader.ima - NTFS reader
freedos.ima - freedos boot diskette

i've found the way to do this :), just edited the bcdw.bin in hex mode and changed the path and name of the ini file.
