EASY2BOOT
=========
Please visit www.easy2boot.com for full instructions and watch the YouTube videos.

To make an Easy2Boot USB drive, read \_ISO\docs\Make_E2B_USB_Drive\Make_E2B_USB_Drive.txt

To test bootable files (e.g. .ISO, .IMA, .IMG, .BIN), copy them to the \_ISO\MAINMENU folder.

Always test using a real system NOT a Virtual Machine, because it may not work on a VM.

If you get an 'Error 60: File for emulation must be in one contiguous area' message,
you must make the files contiguous. 
To make all files contiguous, run RMPrepUSB and select the USB drive, then press CTRL+F2 to run WinContig.

To change wallpaper, language, main heading, text colours, etc. copy \_ISO\Sample_MyE2B.CFG to \_ISO\MyE2B.CFG - then edit MyE2B.cfg.

To change other headings and menu text do NOT edit any of the E2B files (otherwise you will lose the changes if you update E2B later).
See http://www.easy2boot.com/configuring-e2b/changing-the-e2b-preset-text/ for details on how make any changes.

Check http://www.easy2boot.com/add-payload-files/list-of-tested-payload-files/ for a list of supported bootable files.


Windows Vista/7/8/10 Installer ISOs
===================================
Windows Install ISOs must be copied to the correct folder under \_ISO\WINDOWS\xxxxx.

E2B USB Hard Disks:
If your Easy2boot USB drive is of the 'Fixed disk' type (appears as 'Local Disk' in Windows Explorer)
then you also will need a small USB HELPER Flash drive if you want Windows Vista/7/8 installs to work.
See \_ISO\docs\USB FLASH DRIVE HELPER FILES for details.
If you prefer, you can convert the ISO to a .imgPTN file - then an extra USB Helper Flash drive is not needed.


\_ISO\CONTIG.ISO  500MB
=======================
This file is used by E2B if your ISO and other payload files are below 500MB and are not contiguous.
\_ISO\CONTIG.ISO needs to be contiguous, but other payload files do not need to be contiguous.
E2B will copy the non-contiguous ISO file into CONTIG.ISO and then boot from that copy.

If you always make sure all your payload files contiguous (e.g. run RMPrepUSB - WinContig (Ctrl+F2)) 
then you can delete this file to save space.
