The tutorial is to convert a USB drive to an ISO, so the drive letter (e.g. I:) needs to have a \ on the end. If you use a folder rather than a drive letter then you don't need the \. I will change the cmd file and instructions so that you have to specify I:\ or a folder path - thanks!
I have added your mkisofs command to the tutorial - do you know what the difference is? You add -I and don't use -J or -r?

@ECHO OFF SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS ECHO %~d0 ECHO %~dp0 ECHO %~dpnx0The drive has no backslash, but any path has it.
I.e. try running this same batch on the ROOT of a drive:
Quote
C:\batches>thispath.cmd
C:
C:\batches\
C:\batches\thispath.cmd
C:\batches>cd..
C:\>thispath.cmd
C:
C:\
C:\thispath.cmd
C:
C:\batches\
C:\batches\thispath.cmd
C:\batches>cd..
C:\>thispath.cmd
C:
C:\
C:\thispath.cmd
What I normally do is to add to the user input a backslash, then remove duplicate backslashes.
SET /P YourPath=[Please Enter a Path] SET YourPath=%YourPath%\ SET YourPath=%YourPath:\\=\% SET YourPath

and adding a -R or, better, a -r to add RockRidge should be desirable

(Well, -l for longfilenames)
I just used in Qemu, so it worked there.
I was re-reading http://reboot.pro/9696/,

I'm trying to make a custom menu.lst with the batches.
I can't remember how you put an entry without a chainloader or boot at the end,
and still have it as an item, not like a title (/separator).
e.g.,
title /fat mkdir
/fat mkdir (fd1)/%FF%
Can you point me in the right direction? I want it to do the command and come back to the menu.
Cheers.

title ----This is a title rootthat will be like a menu separator.
If I put
title /fat mkdir /fat mkdir (fd1)/%FF%it acts the same. I cannot select it. Trouble is, I want to select it.
If I put
title /fat mkdir /fat mkdir (fd1)/%FF% bootit does what I want but says the kernel should be booted before or something.

You can select any menu item using cursor left or right.
try using
configfile /menu.lst
