Hi
thanks for great utility you made
my question is I got multiboot dvd using easyboot utility and bcdw to run it on there is hirenscd which has isolinux and others.

I used sardu to make ISO of Kaspersky (KIS) I took the ISO file and expanded it the root directory next to the Hirenscd and used BCDW to load the ISOLINUX.bin, but keeping loading up Hirenscd instead.
this my bcdw menu file

[MenuItems]

\FIXNTLDR.ima ; FIXNTLDR (Multiple 'Boot.ini' to fix HAL.DLL
\hbcd\isolinux.bin ; HIREN'S BOOT CD V.10.0
\MutiBootCD\ISOLINUX.bin ; multibootcd
\BOOT\dsllinux\isolinux.bin ; Damn Small Linux
\SARDU\isolinux.bin ; kaspy
\BOOT\opclinux\isolinux.bin ; Offline NT Password Changer

how can I get sardu\isolinux.bin to bootup

best regards

You need to hexedit isolinux.bin and change /boot/isolinux/isolinux.cfg to something else, like /boot/isolinux/damnsmal.cfg.

You can change each colored part to something else of the same length:

/boot/isolinux/isolinux.cfg

That isolinux.bin will search for the folowing config files in the following order:

/boot/isolinux/isolinux.cfg
/isolinux/isolinux.cfg
/isolinux.cfg

If you change /boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin with a hexeditor in the \BOOT\dsllinux\isolinux.bin file to /boot/dsllinux/isolinux.cfg and you make sure that the DSL isolinux.cfg is in /BOOT/dsllinux/, the it should work (assuming you edited the DSL isolinux.cfg file correctly (so the paths in the config file match the changed directory layout).

I have tried everything but not working.

• NO, you haven't tried *everything* you may have tried *something* (unspecified)
• You don't list EXACTLY WHAT you tried.

Compare with this:
http://homepages.tes...ard-litany.html

Providing this information with respect to problems with using tools or machines is done by a standard litany of questions and their answers that you must provide. The questions are:
What exactly did you do ?
What was the exact result ?
How did that result not meet your expectations ?

A problem report that doesn't answer all of these questions is incomplete, and contains insufficient information for diagnosis and prescription of a remedy. If you don't supply this information right at the start, you'll waste yours and others' time, and delay the actual remedy to your problem, by forcing everyone to spend one or more rounds of communication back and forth simply trying to wring the relevant information out of you.

You need to hexedit isolinux.bin and change /boot/isolinux/isolinux.cfg to something else, like /boot/isolinux/damnsmal.cfg.

That isn't really a good idea, and it is a lot easier to find a way to merge the isolinux.cfg file - OR put in a new one that links to the preexisting ones. This may mean you have a different boot menue structure - like in the BCDW space, a menu that says go do the "isolinux" things.

Or better yet, go to the isolinux.cfg's and figure out what they are really "booting" and add that to your BCDW.

Bottom line - you need to dig into this more and experiment. All the different boot things have a lot of docs! Play with it and LEARN!

Good luck!
