I'm Making a Boot Cd for my work with Ubcd4win as my base. But my boss wants me to include our old boot cd on it also (It's an ISO with special tools we use for pos) how can i mount just an ISO in the boot options. I've seen how to do it with floppy Ima's but not Iso any Help

BCDW (the boot menu) only supports booting an iso when all the required data is within the boot sector of the iso file.
Many but not all linux builds use this structure.

Create a multiboot plugin for your boot options and extract the boot image from the iso and point your bcdw menu entry to that file.
Then you must add the rest of the files found inside your iso to the same place on the ubcd4win cd/iso file so your boot image will find the data it requires to work and use any programs you need.

Take a look at the UBCD(DOS) plugin and the MEMTEST plugin to see how this is done.

If you cant figure it out, send me the iso your need added and I'll set it up for you.
Since I created the multiboot setup for ubcd4win, it is extremely simple and quick for me to do these myself verses trying to explain how to someone who may not have enough experiance to follow my direction, which I'm told are too vague at times.

I was trying to do similar and a quick search brought up this post.
I tried to ad Alternate Operating System Scanner and gparted
If I expand the iso and create plugins as per the directions, it will work, but offline passwords and ubcd entries kick either off gparted and AOSS.
Apologies for adding to an old thread
thx

Why don't you just check out the available plugins for those on our "downloads" page??? The work is already done, you just need to download and add them.
