What's New:
+) Improved boot loader, increases compatibility with BIOS and supports coming back to boot menu from DOS environment (with new ezboot.com)
+) Supports filenames with ISO9660 version number
+) Supports relative/full path of boot image file in 'run' command
+) Can run .INI files by 'bcdw' command
*) Some minor improvements and bug fixes
Download: http://www.ezbsystems.com/easyboot/download.htm
Note: The latest version is 5.0.9.553.
Tips for use new ezboot.com:
Step 1: Adding ezboot.com to floppy image
 - Open the disk image (.IMA/.IMG, such as setup98.img) by UltraISO, add c:\ezboot\resource\ezboot.com to the image and save it.
Step 2: Active this feature
 - Start EasyBoot, click on 'Options' button and choose 'Configuration' from the popup menu. Then check 'Enable coming back from DOS' and click 'OK'.
 - Save the menu file
 - Make a bootable ISO and burn
Step 3: Return to boot menu from DOS environment
 - After booted into DOS, type 'ezboot.com' and press <Enter> to call boot menu of CD directly.
 - You can also add this command to a batch file.

Hi, I have downloaded and evaluating EasyBoot 5.0.9.
WHen I make a CD from the iso it works in VPC under WinXP and works when booting my pentium 4 systems. But it will not boot from a friend's MSi 650gm-l Celeron 2.4ghz system and 32mb of system ram applied to on board video. It just displays the end of the bios boot screen and shows a flashing cursor.
It is not just a display problem as the cd drive does not show an attempt to read the disk and pushing buttons 1-9 does nothing.
Suggestions.?
TIA

I forgot to add that the WinXP install CD boots from the Celeron system (described above) and many other bootable CD's, just not the EasyBoot CD.
So far this system is the only computer I can find that the CD will not boot from. It boots from all the others I have tried.
Thqanks Again,
BobT

Hello BobT, please re-download EasyBoot from http://www.ezbsystems.com/easyboot/download.htm , setup and start EasyBoot, open your menu file and click 'Save', then create a bootable CD and see if a message 'Start booting from CD...' message will appear.

Hi,
I downloaded EasyBoot again and I notice it is now version 5.0.9.553. I did as you suggested and the EasyBoot CD now works.
I also updated the ezboot.com file in some of my dos images as I noticed that the file had changed.
So all is now working, Thanks.
BobT.

xoben,
What was fixed in 553? I want to be able to use the ezboot.com feature.
All I did was install 5.09 over my 5.08 and then opened it and could see everything fine. But when I went to save it would not let me. Then when I exited Easyboot and went back in my menu would not open so I reinstalled my old verison and the menu was corrupt so I restored it from a backup.

We tested this way:
1) Setup EasyBoot 5.08 first, create a menu file
2) Setup V5.09 over it, open and edit the menu, save it. No problem was found.
3) Re-install V5.08, the menu file can be opened properly
