You can try it this way:
1) Copy all files and folders from Paragon Recovery 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

Could not make it work with the method above, I even tried the bcdw 2.0a version but it did not work either.  Anyone have any other suggestion? All help is appriciated

Hello The_Doomer!
I use Paragon (Note: Partition Manager version 5,0) and it’s a console application, which means that it can only be run from the DOS prompt (in EasyBoot: run paragon.img).
I only want to point out, that if it’s not a consol application you try to run from EasyBoot, then it’s “doomed” to fail. You can’t (basically from EasyBoot) use programs designed to run on 32-bit platforms (if you don’t make “heavy workarounds”).

Could this be to some help?
I have downloaded and tested paragon demo: “Universal tool for hard disk 6.0”.
I don’t now what versions you use but maybe Paragon use the same “recovery system” according to al versions – I don’t now for sure – just guessing.
After installing application I opened folder paragon on hard disk. This is what I then did:
1. Find folder “DosHDM” (this is the dos consol).
2. Click on “Hdmpack.exe” (a lot of nice files will be created inside this folder).
3. Download boot disk “Windows Me Custom, No Ramdrive | Alt2” from http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm
4. Create floppy and then edit Autoexec.bat to look like this:
; Start of text
@echo off
MSCDEX.EXE /D:tomato /L:R
mouse.com
hdm.exe
; End of text
Save Autoexec.bat
5. Start “EasyBoot>Tools>Create new floppy image” use some other img file as “seed image” and create new image with size: 7200 (you may rename this img file to something like paragon.img if you like).
6. Open “paragon.img” with winimage and insert files from folder DosHDM (you do not need to inject folder “scripts”) - continue and insert files from floppy (don’t forget hided files).
7. Start this “paragon.img” as usual in EasyBoot: run paragon.img
Note: CD/DVD unit is renamed to R because EasyBoot uses X
Regards eureka

Hi eureka!
I dont know if we talk about the same tool here. If you check this URL Paragon Rescue Kit 4.0 you find some more info about it. You can take a look at the screenshot of the catalog structure of the iso, the you see it is some sort of linux.

Hi again The doomer!
Yes you have right there – it’s not the same tool, and; “Demo version is currently not available” (that’s what paragon tells me). Sorry to replay that I am not able to “walk” any further with you project (especially as it seems to be such a interesting project).
However, I have noticed one file of interest in screenshot; dos.img (size 1440).
I suppose you already tried this suggestion: Copied everything to EasyBoot\disk1 and then moved dos.img to EasyBoot\disk1\ezboot and used this boot file as usual; run dos.img
This is al I can find out, as I can’t download demo.
Still I hope things works out to the very best according to this issue of yours…
Regards eureka
