Please read iB::Topic::Multiboot DVD with Windows 7 and XP. It will give you an idea on how to go about making a DVD with Windows XP and Windows 7 on it. Then perhaps the same way you could extend it to include the other stuff.

I hope this is of help to you.

Dude i want to make my own multiboot DVD that i can add my selected elements for booting

It can be complicated and I'm not sure you will get everything working on one DVD due to folder requirements. I know you can get Hiren's, UBCD, Windows 7, Linux and I'm pretty sure Windows XP on a single DVD. One other thing you have to consider is how many can actually fit on a DVD.

I created one with Hiren's, UBCD, Linux (Ubuntu), a program that uses XP's boot sector (ntldr) and four programs that use WinPE. It took me a while to get a couple of things working the way I wanted to do it and to get my head around some of the things in GRUB4DOS as this was my first experience with it, but I did manage in the end.

I'm not very good at explaining this type of stuff but I can tell you Hiren's and UBCD use GRUB4DOS for their boot menu and from that it's possible to launch Windows 7/Vista/XP boot sectors, ISO files and a couple of other bootsectors and files.

Someone else here may provide step by step help but I would suggest searching Google about doing these kind of things with GRUB4DOS as there is a few pages with help already out there, you just have to piece it all together.

Good luck.

Oh yer, I believe that Easyboot program can create something like you want and it should be less complicated.

Maybe check that out first and check the Easyboot forum not just that one page. It has more than just multiboot Windows.

Did you actually read these pages?

YUMI - Looks limited

It can be used to create a Multiboot USB Flash Drive containing multiple operating systems, antivirus utilities, disc cloning, diagnostic tools, and more.

XBOOT

used to create a Live Multiboot USB or even a Multiboot ISO file that can then be burnt to a CD/DVD. XBOOT supports many Linux Distributions and Utilities

These 2 programs and Easyboot take the hard work out of doing things. I not sure if they'll do you what you want exactly but I'd say their worth a try. Only thing I don't like is loading from ISO files as I believe this is slower than just the files, but I'm not 100% sure, but it should prevent any file/folder conflicts.

YUMI seems limited on what it can support Natively as it unpacks the ISOs and stores the contents in a folder structure of its own. You can however also add whatever extra ISOs you want and it uses GRUB to boot them.
