well,I've been trying to create my own multiboot disk using easyboot,the DVD I'm aiming for contains the following :
- Win XP Pro installation CD
- KNOPPIX 5.1 Live CD
- Hiren's boot CD 9.3
- Windows Live CD created using PEbuilder 3.1.1
The reason I say "almost" perfect is because I managed to get The DVD going with the WIN XP installation,KNOPPIX and Hiren's CD working,but I can't get the Windows Live CD to work,whenever I click on it,it sends me to the XP installation.
I've Extracted the Hiren's CD into the disk1 folder and created a *.bif file to load the image,but in the case of the Win XP Live CD,it contains a I386 Folder with files different from those in the Win XP installation I386,so not to cause any conflict,I extracted the .iso to \disk1\LIVE and created a *.bif file for the iso and tried to do the same I did with the hiren's image,but Like I said now when I try to start the Live CD from my boot menu it starts the WIN XP Pro Installation instead.
Any Help ? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply,but Things are not working for some reason (probably me  )
I followed the instructions in the help file and now My Live Windows goes all the way to the desktop then I get an error about "application failed to initialize" regarding "lsass.exe"
in the help file it says to copy only the "I386" folder into the "xpen" folder and work from there,I copied the rest of the files from the CD into the "Disk1" directory too,is that a problem ?
I also tried to do all the editing on the Live XP version,didn't work,I followed the step-by-step guide from the help but instead of applying it on the XP installation I tried applying it on the live XP folders,I got a message about missing files and the system rebooted.
Again,all the other things are working GREAT,and I really hope I can get the Live XP working with your help.

Leave xp installation as it is.
As for the live xp:
1. rename "i386" folder to "LVXP" (!)
2. replace one "i386" reference with "LVXP"n the bootsector file (the *.bif you said)
3. the same ...replace four references of "i386" with "LVXP" in SETUPLDR.BIN
4. replace one reference of "i386" in TXTSETUP.SIF
(!) use your own name (always 4 capital letters) name instead of "i386" or "LVXP"

Well,I had to refer to the help file again for the Lower/Upper case of the "I386" in each case when changing it,but I don't get the final step,you say replace one "i386" in TXTSETUP.SIF,but when I checked the file,I found 22 references for i386,which one(s) should I change ?
These are all the i386 entries found in my TXTSETUP.SIF file :
CODE 1 = %cdname%,%cdtagfilei%,,\i386
2 = "%cd2name%","%cd2tagfilei%",,\cmpnents\tabletpc\i386
3 = "%cd2name%","%cd2tagfilei%",,\cmpnents\mediactr\i386
4 = "%cd2name%","%cd2tagfilei%",,\cmpnents\netfx\i386
100 = %spcdname%,%spcdtagfilei%,,\i386,1
7 = %cdname%,%cdtagfilei%,,\i386\lang
107 = %spcdname%,%spcdtagfilei%,,\i386\lang,1
8 = %cdname%,%cdtagfilei%,,\i386\lang
9 = %cdname%,%cdtagfilei%,,\i386\lang
10 = %cdname%,%cdtagfilei%,,\i386\lang
11 = %cdname%,%cdtagfilei%,,\i386
12 = %cdname%,%cdtagfilei%,,\i386
13 = %cdname%,%cdtagfilei%,,\i386
14 = %cdname%,%cdtagfilei%,,\i386
15 = %cdname%,%cdtagfilei%,,\i386
55 = %cdname%,%cdtagfilem%,,\i386
56 = %cdname%,%cdtagfilem%,,\i386\lang
55 = %cdname%,%cdtagfilem%,,\i386
56 = %cdname%,%cdtagfilem%,,\i386\lang
39 = "Driver Cache\i386"
Architecture = i386
1,"Driver Cache\i386"
do I change all of them ?
p.s : I'll attach the file itself too,in case you want to take a look at it,I've compressed it using 7z as a BZip2 archive cos it doesn't allow to upload zip files for some reason.

I tried changing all of the "i386" in my TXTSETUP.SIF to "LVXP",now it boots al the way into the Live XP but instead of the "lsass.exe" error it just restarts the PC.
I'll try to change it to "lvxp" and see what happens,then get some sleep,once I wake up I'll post here with the results.

damned, in the near past I had modified a livexp made from bartpe and it worked flawlessly but I replaced it later with live xp made from winbuilder. The textsetup.sif from winbuilder project has four i386 entries and it is easy. Give me some time to look for the older live xp from bart builder.

so, my trial is succeed.
I used a bartpe project LIVEXP named minipe-xt which I found around the net. Iso's contents were extracted to Disk1. Bootsector to ezboot folder.
I followed these steps: Directory i386 was renamed to LVXP. One entry was changed in bootsector. Four entries were changed in setupldr.bin. Twenty-two entries were changed in txtsetup.sif (you are right here).
Minipe-xt booted successfully under easyboot in virtual pc.
From my experience, restarts of Livexp may be due to lack of memory. If you increase virtual pc memory up to 200 mb, does xp start? On the contrary, you may have already used much memo. I can't think sth better. You can also ask in Bartpe forum .

thanks for the reply man,I've been away for a couple of days,I'll try to increase the RAM for the virtual PC machine first before trying anything else,if that works then its great,if not I'll follow your advice.
I didn't want a ready WINXP live version cos I created mine with KAV 7.0 in it,in case I needed to use it to scan an infected PC,but if the RAM thin doesn't work I guess I'll have to live with one you provided until I can find a way to make this one work.
