Okay thank you for this awesome tool.

I downloaded the Xboot v 1.14b. I tried to put my all Linux Distros, HirenBoot CD and Some other PEs together. However, everything is fine but - file size doubled when I added ISOs. For example I just added Linux Mint 11 Gnome DVD 32bit (<900MB). After completion, I found the ISO with 1.7GB which is exactly 2X of the main ISO. Similarly I added Ubuntu 11.04, 11.10. 3 ISO (about 700MB per) created a 4GB one (expected 2.1GB). Check this pic.

I opened the ISO with 7z, opened the menu.lst. It only sets the ISO paths at root/images. But the /images contains an extra iso which is unnecessary.

Please check it. Is it my fault? All other things are okay, no error, no failure notice :)

Thanks again for this cool piece of software.

I noticed this issue as well. Instead, choose "Grub4dos ISO emulation".

I did use "Grub4dos ISO emulation" and now it shows all on the disk but when I tried to install on every distro it tells me some kind of error saying file not found. I have Linux mint, Puppy Linus, Fedora , Ubuntu desktop and Ubuntu Server on one disk and all these are listed as supported OS for xboot. If I use normal method even though it shows me 3.43 GB ion file size but when it creates the iso file the size goes to over 5GB and that I cannot fit on 4.7 GB dvd disk. Any help will be appreciated.
