Can you add support for these in the next release of XBOOT to go along with the already included Seagate Seatools?

Western Digital Data Lifeguard Diagnostic

Hitachi Drive Fitness Test

Samsung ES-tool

Thanks!

Most probably all these can be added using Grub4dos ISO Emulation

Try them and tell me if they work. otherwise i will add support for them separately.

Western Digital Data Lifeguard Diagnostic CD via Grub4dos - Works in QEMU and in most real PCs I tried it in.

Hitachi Drive Fitness Test via Grub4dos - Works in most real PCs I tried it in (does not work in QEMU Hangs at "Loading DFT ...")

Samsung ES-tool does not work, but I don't think it's an XBOOT issue. It's really old school and tries to load drivers for a CD drive and of course fails. I rolled my own ES-tool ISO by making a bootable floppy copying EStool.exe to it and then using Nero to turn that into an ISO of a bootable CD. This resulting homemade .ISO works in all the real PCs I tried it in.

great.

Soon i will start working on adding a functionality to XBoot in which a script can be used to add ISO file.
That will make the task easy. i just have to send the script for a particular ISO file and you can add that ISO file immediately , without having to wait for the next release of XBoot.
