Hello.
I created a CD with EasyBoot entering multiboot Windows XP Sp2, Hiren's Boot 9.3, Ultimate Boot 4.11, now I want to enter the iso Helix as the guy?
The iso Helix is on http://www.e-fense.com/helix/

Folders of iso

Because it is knoppix based, it must be easy. But the ultimate bootcd may prevent Helix from boot.
-Drop all contents of iso into Disk1.
-Extract the bootsector of the iso, call it "helix.bif", drop it in Disk1\ezboot, run it with the command "bootinfotable;run helix.bif".
-Use ultraiso to compile your multiboot iso instead of easyboot, in properties check "joliet", and "set boot file" the loader.bin from ezboot folder

And when that occurs inside the disk folder there are some necessary files to other packages that do?
For example, if I enter 2 windows XP Home and a Professional one that has the same files do?

Generally, you have to rename some folders & files if they are duplicated, and adjust these changes to respective files. It is not an easy job, and if you are to do it for first time, you have to try enough.
Do you intend to include more linux distros in your multiboot or more windowsxp?
In the first case, read carefully the instructions:
linuxguide . It covers many of linux cases.
In the second case, I made a search in easyboot forums and i found much stuff

Whatever refers to win2k fits to winxp too. However win2k3 has a bootsector issue and need some extra editing.

If you gave more details on what doesn't work maybe I could help. Does your Multiboot iso boots? If yes, you choose Helix, but errors appear on screen? What errors?

sorry for the long delay, I am choked in work.
So, let me guess.... You use MS Virtual PC, right?
If you do, lunch Virtual PC console, don't start your virtual machine and go to :
Settings > CD/DVD DRIVE
and check the check-box : "attach CD or DVD Drive to secondary IDE controller"
Start your virtual machine. It should make Helix to work.
The error message you mentioned appears when Grub Boot-loader can't assign CD/DVD Drive. There are many reasons for that, but in your case it should be an issue of Virtual PC. I got the same error but I solved it when I checked the check-box I told you.
--------------
In no case forget to apply some adjustments necessary for knoppix based systems (such as Helix):
-Build ISO image with Ultraiso or something else, but not with Eazyboot. For boot-sector use the "loader.bin".
-Check both Joliet & Rockridge (in properties), before building the ISO image.
-The original boot-loader of Helix works fine with easyboot, you don't need to edit it. Just extract it, name it "helix.bif" and run the command "bootinfotable;run helix.bif" in easyboot menu.
Tell me if it is ok.
