I believe you have to start the "Create ISO" option in the autobuilder so that the final menu is laid out correctly in the files in the UBCD4WIN\BartPE folder before starting the procedure above. I did not do this first because I didn't know about the resulting duplicate start menu entries issue at the time. Also I can't seem to get the Recovery Console working when I create it as a new option in the grub4dos menu. The default setupldr in the \CMDC folder points to \minint and I don't know if the ISO creation portion fixes this. I did edit \CMDC\setupldr.bin and changed three instances of minint to CMDC and then added six 0s to the end of the file for padding but that didn't work.

If you don't have a floppy drive in your computer, you can extract the .ima file from boot98SE.exe with Winrar. It will error out during the extraction but the file will come out ok. Then you can use 7-zip to extract the contents of the .ima file. The HP USB formatting program can call these files from anywhere you select and it doesn't have to be a floppy drive. I used this method and there config.sys is not created on the USB stick, so there is no existing config.sys file to overwrite when you get to the grub4dos step, which is fine.
