      I would also be interested. You have tried this tutorial?

      Include any ISO in the FOG Bootmenu - Hirens

        I have, but the “new” Hirens seems to require something different.

            Good link. I hadn’t seen that one before. That helped me get further than I have. Almost boots, but I get an error after it starts.

            Resource exceeds length of file
            Emulating drive 0x01
            FATAL: no bootmgr.exe
            Press a key to reboot...

              @Scott-B Understand that link is for BIOS based computers. I might expect the UEFI mode computers will need a bit different boot kernel.

              Looking at that error message again, why is it asking about bootmgr.exe that is a “MS Windows” thing. The Rescue CD of the link appears to be booting a linux (variant) kernel.

                Tested and working configuration for Hiren’s BootCD PE x64 (v1.0.1)

                set tftp-path tftp://${fog-ip}
                set pe-path ${tftp-path}/os/winpe
                kernel ${tftp-path}/wimboot gui
                imgfetch --name BCD http://${fog-ip}/hbcd/Boot/BCD BCD
                imgfetch --name boot.sdi http://${fog-ip}/hbcd/Boot/boot.sdi boot.sdi
                imgfetch --name boot.wim http://${fog-ip}/hbcd/sources/boot.wim boot.wim
                boot || goto MENU

                Dont forget to change the BCD, boot.sdi, boot.wim locations.

                  The only way I was able to make it work was by loading the whole ISO file.

                  :hbcd
                  initrd http://${fog-ip}/images/tools/hbcd/HBCD_PE_x64.iso
                  chain memdisk iso raw ||
                  boot || goto start

                  by using the WinPE method I was able to boot but it couldnt find bootmgr in the wim file. I then tried to define the bootmgr and I was then getting errors regarding not being able to patch the wim file. in the end I just tried loading the whole Iso like with dban and lo and behold it worked, though it then limits you to a 2gb ram minimum setup.

                    @truetus Hello,

                    I tried also to boot the Hirens BootCD and same problem with bootmgr

                    Maybe someone has the correct option?

                    To boot the complete ISO takes a quit longer time, right?

                    Thank you!

                      @seppim If you load it over http like in the example it should be quite fast. I use the same method, works fine.

                        @seppim While I don’t use hiren’s software, let me download the iso and see what has changed. I know it worked at one time.
