The next version of E2B will be v1.29. and will include two script (.cmd) files in the \_ISO\docs\E2B Utilities folder:
E2B TXT Maker.cmd - generates an Easy2Boot .txt file
E2B MNU Maker.cmd - generates an Easy2Boot .mnu file
Make SubMenu.cmd - generates a SubMenu .mnu file
New! E2B v1.78 now includes \_ISO\TXT_Maker.exe.
This may prove useful if you want to make .txt files or .mnu files for all your payload files.
The easiest way to use these files is to first copy them to your Windows Desktop.
Now to make a .txt file or .mnu file for any payload file on your E2B USB drive, simply Drag-and-Drop the payload file onto the E2B TXT Maker.cmd icon or the E2B MNU Maker.cmd icon on your Windows Desktop.
The script will then ask you what menu text and help text you want and then make a new .mnu or .txt file (in the same folder as the payload file) on your E2B USB drive.
You can specify a hotkey key by using ^^ before the keyname (^^ will be translated into ^ when the file is made).
Here are some screenshots of them in action:
The E2B MNU Maker assumes that the payload (ISO) file will always be in the same folder as the .mnu file. You can edit the .mnu file after it has been generated. By default, the .mnu file simply runs QRUN and forces the file extension to be the same as it already is, using this line of grub4dos code:
/%grub%/qrun.g4b force.iso $HOME$/rhel-server-5.7-i386-dvd.iso
However, you can change this to force the file extension to be something different, e.g. to run a Microsoft Windows 7 Recovery ISO as if it had an .ISO01 file extension, use:
/%grub%/qrun.g4b force.iso01 $HOME$/ERD6.iso
Or you can add in your own grub4dos menu.
N.B. For the MNU Maker script to work, the E2B payload file name must not contain spaces!
If you want to make a new SubMenu folder:
1. Create a new folder under \_ISO (spaces not allowed) - e.g. \_ISO\RESCUE_WIN
2. Drag-and-drop the new \_ISO\RESCUE_WIN folder onto the Make SubMenu.cmd file and answer the questions.
This will make a new .mnu file in the \_ISO\MAINMENU folder for \_ISO\RESCUE_WIN.
Now put your ISO files, etc. in \_ISO\RESCUE_WIN and you will see the new menu entry in the Main Menu.
E2B TXT Maker.cmd - generates an Easy2Boot .txt file
E2B MNU Maker.cmd - generates an Easy2Boot .mnu file
