Yeah it can be a bit confusing if your not used to doing this sort of thing.
If I get time I will try and write up a tutorial or make another video showing you what to do.

You can get alot of tutorials for this site:
http://www.ezbsystems.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=SF;f=1

Thanks where I worked most of my stuff out. put some bits from there down below that should help you out.



1. Push button “New” and change background-picture (I guess you like a different one to your new sub-menu)
2. Create your different menu-commands as usual in EasyBoot (you can as usual use my scripts if needed).
3. Save this new EasyBoot-ezb-file with a nice name – why not “submenu” or “format” or whatever?
4. The last (or the first) menu command in your new “submenu.ezb” should have a command: run mainmenu.ezb (or “Default.ezb” or whatever your main menu is named) so that you can jump back to menu you jumped from.
5. On the other hand - in your “mainmenu.ezb” or “Default.ezb” or whatever your main menu is named - you also must create a menu command: run submenu.ezb (or run format.ezb or whatever you name your new “submenu.ezb”)
Note: you can put in maximum 36 menu items in each menu you create (you can – if needed - use screen resolution up to 1024x768 in background picture)

Boot ISO images with easyboot, Booting ISO images.

Recommanded for version 5.08 and above:
1) Download the attached zip file
2) Extract files (isolinux and memdisk) to c:\easyboot\disk1\ezboot
3) Put your xxx.IMG (or xxx.BIF) file in c:\easyboot\disk1\ezboot as well

For Acronis products, you can load it by BCDW 2.0:

1) Download a simplified version BCDW 2.0 from http://dw.ezbsys.net/bcdw20.zip
2) Create a new directory at c:\easyboot\disk1, name it as bcdw
3) Open bcdw20.zip, extract bcdw.bin and bcdw.ini to c:\easyboot\disk1\bcdw; extract bcdwldr.bin to c:\easyboot\disk1\ezboot
4) Make an ISO image from bootable CD-ROM by UltraISO, save it to c:\easyboot\disk1\bcdw\mycd.iso
5) Use 'run bcdwldr.bin' to load this ISO

Instructions for adding a secondary ISO entry:

1) Create a new directory BCD1 (exactly 4 characters length) under disk1
2) Extract bcdw.bin and bcdw.ini to this folder, put your ISO image there and modify bcdw.ini as needed
;========================
\BCD1\MYCD1.ISO

[Options]
RootMenu=\BCD1\BCDW.INI
;========================
3) Copy "disk1\ezboot\bcdwldr.bin" to "disk1\ezboot\bcdwldr1.bin"
4) Click 'Tools'->'Replace Text' to replace '\bcdw\' to '\bcd1\' in file "disk1\ezboot\bcdwldr1.bin" (there should be only one occurrence)
5) Use 'run bcdwldr1.bin' to mount

You can also use CDShell this way:

1) Download a simplified version from http://dw.ezbsys.net/boot.zip
2) Extract it to disk1\, a folder named boot will be added there
   boot\moudles
   boot\cdshl.bin
   boot\cdshell.ini
3) Copy your disk image (xxx.img for example) to disk1\boot
4) Edit cdshell.ini, change the first line to
   memdisk /BOOT/xxx.IMG
5) Save the attached file (cdshldr.bin) to disk1\ezboot
6) Use 'run cdshldr.bin' to load your image

Download attachment [ OCTET Stream ]

For multiple images, you can do it this way:

1) Make another folder under disk1, named bt01 for example (disk1\bt01)
2) Copy all files and folders from disk1\boot to disk1\bt01
3) Copy your yyy.IMG to disk1\bt01, and modify cdshell.ini there to
   memdisk /BT01/yyy.IMG
4) Save cdshldr.bin as disk1\ezboot\cdsh01.bin
5) Click 'Tools'->'Replace Text' on File page of EasyBoot
   File: c:\easyboot\disk1\ezboot\cdsh01.bin
   Text to find: /boot
   Replace to: /bt01
   Click 'Replace'
6) Use 'run cdsh01.bin' to load
4) Use 'bcdw /ezboot/isolinix memdisk initrd=xxx.img' to load it


Run DOS-based tool with EasyBoot

It's easy to add DOS-based tools with EasyBoot:
  1) Make a DOS bootable floppy with the tools on it, test it on your PC
  2) Create floppy image (named xxx.img)by clicking 'Tools' in 'File' page
  3) Use command 'run xxx.img' in menu item

There is a sample image for Norton Ghost: http://www.ezbsvs.com/download/ghost.img

And a sample image for PQMagic:
http://www.ezbsys.com/download/pm8.img

Tips for creating a large image from 1.44MB image(s):
1) EasyBoot
  - Start EasyBoot, click 'Tools' and select 'Create New Floppy image' from popup menu
  - On the dialogue, specify the 1.44MB image as seed, choose desired image size (for example, 8640) as 'image size(kb)' and output filename as wanted, then click 'Create'
2) UltraISO
  - Start UltraISO, open the 1.44MB image and press F4 to extract all files and folders to a temp folder
  - Open the newly created 8.64MB image by UltraISO, add all files from the temp folder to it and save

Britec: Hello, can you please reupload your scripts, the mediafire link is dead. Also, if you don't mind, can you provide me with a simple tutorial on how you are getting all ERD iso's to work with easyboot? You don't have to go into detail, I just need to know how you are doing your directory structure. I need to know how you are storing your .wim files in one directory, and how your accessing them via easyboot menu. Thats the major bottleneck I am having, is having different iso's content load via easyboot menu. What files should be edited, and so forth. I would greatly appreciate this information!

Nevermind bro, I didn't know the latest EZBOOT supported run file.iso instead of extracting the bootfiles, hexediting and so forth!
