Thanks for the help, but zbootmgr.exe not effective, error
It depends on the EXACT version of BOOTMGR you are using, READ again the page, with particular attention to:
http://www.rmprepusb...and-server-2008
(before you follow the next 3 instructions in section 3.1 below, read the footnote at the bottom of this page to save you some work - you are recommended to use menu2.lst and skip section 3.1 but you MUST use the Win7 RTM version of bootmgr with a CRC32 value of EE471B58!)
Footnote for Step 3.1
Note that you can improve this and save some work and filespace by using grub4dos to modify bootmgr on the fly - this saves having multiple versions of bootmgr1-6. See http://www.boot-land...ndpost&p=68050. I have included the alternative version as menu2.lst in the download. So if you wish to save all the work in Step 3.1 above, then only copy the single WinPE v3 (win7) file bootmgr (IMPORTANT: must use the WinPE v3 version of bootmgr from the Windows 7 WAIK) to the C:MYUSB folder (no need to use zbootmgr.exe or create bootmgr1 - bootmgr6 files) and then overwrite menu.lst using menu2.lst (filename on USB drive must be menu.lst). This will also save approx. 2MB of space on the UFD. You will need the later version of grub4dos 0.4.5a or b for this to work (as used by later versions of RMPrepUSB e.g. v2.1.600+).
Them be nice and READ:

zbootmgr NEEDS the Vista SP0 BOOTMGR. (and will NOT work with ANY other versions of the file)
ANOTHER approach, NOT using zbootmgr has been developed in order to use the BOOTMGR of the Windows 7 WAIK.

i.e.
title WinPE ISO1.iso
map (0xff) /ISO1.iso
map --hook
root (0xff)
chainloader /BOOTMGR || chainlader /bootmgr
title WinPE ISO2.iso
map (0xff) /ISO2.iso
map --hook
root (0xff)
chainloader /BOOTMGR || chainlader /bootmgr

You can edit the BCD entries, extracting from the iso, the file Boot\bcd , and edit with EasyBCD (http://neosmart.net/EasyBCD/)
Please do a copy for Boot\bcd, before edit the iso. Sometimes the edited file is corrupted by EasyBCD.
Tested by my and works for Win7PE_SE and MS Recovery and toolsets...

NOT really, you seemingly want to avoid reading the given links and do EXACTLY what is in them BUT rather have someone sending you a bunch of BOOTMGR files already modified/fixed.in do not want to edit BCD file, create more bootmgr file to load more bcd file
Look , the mentioned tutorial has been working for thousands of people, it is simply not possible it doesn't work for you if you follow it.
I will anyway try again:
- zbootmgr will work ONLY on the BOOTMGR version that came with ORIGINAL Vista (or Vista SP0) CRC: 543E715A
- the other suggested way (menu2.lst) will work ONLY with BOOTMGR that came with ORIGINAL Windows 7 (or 7 RTM or 7 SP0) or with the 7 WAIK CRC: EE471B58
Now, WHICH EXACT version of BOOTMGR are you using?
Can you post it's filesize and CRC?

What about use a default bootmgr and edit BCD in RAM ?
