Tutorial For Using Hiren boot CD 15.1 ISO on USB or HDD – Hiren’s Boot CD

Posted 14 March 2012 – 07:51 AM

Some people really need using Hiren boot CD 15.1 ISO on USB or HDD, but with one file ISO (500Mb) it too large and get some bug. I make this tutorial for using hiren iso on USB or HDD with grub4dos.
Hiren boot cd have some apps:
-for dos
-for mini windows xp
-linux: can use parted magic with only iso file.

I. Dos version: Only using apps from dos:
It has two methods.
Method 1: Boot to DOS version from file iso (like dos.iso)
-Open Open file hiren boot cd 15 iso with UltraISO, double click to open HBCD folder.
-Delete some folders:
+Folder: Programs, XP, pmagic (HBCDBootPmagic)
-Save as file name Dos.iso

Method 2: Boot to DOS version from file IMA (like disk image, dos.ima)
-Extract file dos.gz (HBCDDosdos.gz)
-Using 7zip extract file dos.gz, get file dos.img
-Using WinImage open file dos.img
+Image – boot sector properties, click “Save” with any file name (ex. Dos.bin)
-Using 7zip extract file dos.img in folder (Ex: Hiren)
-Open folder Hiren (you make), create a folder name HBCD.
-Using 7zip extract 2 folders: Boot and Dos into folder HBCD
-Open Boot folder (HirenHBCDBoot), delete pmagic folder (you can boot pmagic from ISO file, do not need it), keyboard.bat, pmagic.lst
-Now you get Hiren folder with size 52MB.
-Using WinImage create new disk image with size 53MB
+File – New file – Format Selection – Imported – Select custom image format
+Get dialog: Edit FAT image size, Change image size (Total number of sectors) with 109456
+Click OK, save file with any name (dos.ima)
-Open Hiren folder, drag and drop all file and folder into new file create with WinImage. Select Yes for dialog
-Image – boot sector properties – open – Select file boot sector you saved (dos.bin) – click open – Click OK – Click Save image.

II. Using Mini Windows XP with small size:

I have two methods

Method 1: Get all information from an ISO file at startup.
-Using 7zip extract file XP.wim into folder (call XP, I place it partition E, path E:XP)
-Open file startup.cmd (E:XPI386System32startup.cmd) with notepad. Change some information
Original:

@echo off

title Startup

set HBCD=HBCD

:a

For %%I IN (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z A B) DO (dir %%I: 1>nul 2>nul && if /i exist %%I:HBCDHBCDMenu.exe set HBCD=%%I:&goto k)

Change to

@echo off

title Startup

set HBCD=HBCD

:a

For %%I IN (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W Y Z) DO (If /i Exist "%%I:Hiren15.iso" set HBCD=%%I:)

imdisk -a -f %HBCD%Hiren15.iso -m Y:

set HBCD=Y:

goto k

Save file.

-Using Gimagex capture file wim.
+Soure: Folder path E:XP (when extract file xp.wim)
+Destination: any where (but file name must be XP.WIM)
+Compression: maximium
+Options: check Boot
Select create

-Create file ISO: Open Open file hiren boot cd 15 iso with UltraISO, delete all file and folder except 3 files: X, XP.BIN, XP.wim
+Replace file XP.wim (original) with file XP.wim (rebuild)
+Save as file name minixp.iso (45MB)
-Prepare file iso for startup:
+File ISO must name hiren15.iso, place into root directory (for this tutorial). If you want place it into another folder, please chang code for startup.cmd with path to find file iso. If you want change name file iso (hiren15.iso) to another name, please change name in startup.cmd
Ex: Change path, and name: place file iso into folder name ISO, change file name to hbcd.iso. Need change code
“%%I:Hiren15.iso” to “%%I:ISOhbcd.iso”
+Open file hiren boot cd 15 iso with UltraISO, delete all file and folder, except Folder Programs, XP (only keep XpCustomize.cmd, XpDrvLAN.7z, XpDrvWLAN.7z), file HBCDMenu.cmd.
+Save as with name hiren15.iso
Note: You can not unplug USB when using Minixp

Method 2: Fast startup, but need more change (test with hard disk has corrupt a partition)
Like step 1. But need more change
Using 7zip open hiren boot cd iso
-Extract 7z.dll, 7z.exe, EasyUHA.exe, uharc.exe (HBCDPrograms) into E:XPI386System32
-Extract 7zip.7z, dll.7z, teracopy.7z, Notepad.7z, XpFiles.7z (HBCDProgramsFiles) (open it and extract) into E:XPI386System32
Rename Notepad++.exe to Notepad.exe
-Extract IrfanView.7z (HBCDProgramsFiles) into E:XPI386
-Extract processxp.exe (HBCDPrograms) into E:XPI386System32, rename taskmgr.exe
-Open folder XP (E:XP), create new folder name HBCD and open this folder, create 3 folder name XP, Programs, Boot. Open folder Programs and create new folder name Files
-Extract files:
+XpCustomize.cmd (HBCDXP) into E:XPHBCDXP
+ Keyboard.bat (HBCDBoot) into E:XPHBCDBoot
+ HBCDMenu.csv,, AutoMountDrives.cmd into E:XPHBCDPrograms
+ AutoMountDrives.7z (HBCDProgramsFiles) into E:XPHBCDProgramsFiles
+ HBCDMenu.exe into E:XPHBCD

-Change code startup.cmd:
Delete all, and add this code

-Using Gimagex capture file wim, with information like Method 1
-Create file ISO: Like Method 1. But you can using file Minixp.iso (create in method 1), replace file xp.wim (old – create in method 1) with xp.wim (new – create in method 2) and save as file name xp.iso (53Mb)
-Prepare file ISO like method 1, must name hiren15.iso (for this tutorial) but can change file name and path (like method 1)
Note: with method 2
-You can unplug USB after logon to minixp
-For use apps on minixp, need run Call Hiren ISO. After extract apps, you can unmount hiren15.iso and unplug USB
Now: You can copy files to USB (hiren15.iso; xp.iso, minxp.iso, dos.ima, dos.iso) or HDD

Note:
-Using minixp.iso or xp.iso
-Using dos.ima or dos.iso
-Using code map / or map –mem /
Code menu.lst

title Start MiniXP (Using Hiren15.iso for startup)

find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /Minixp.iso

map /Minixp.iso (0xff)

map --hook

chainloader (0xff)/HBCD/XP/XP.BIN

title Start MiniXP (Do not use Hiren15.iso for startup)

find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /xp.iso

map /xp.iso (0xff)

map --hook

chainloader (0xff)/HBCD/XP/XP.BIN

title Hirens BootCD 15.1 for DOS (ISO)

find --set-root /dos.iso

map /dos.iso (0xff)

map --hook

root (0xff)

chainloader (0xff)

title Hirens BootCD 15.1 for DOS (IMA)

find --set-root /dos.ima

map --mem /dos.ima (fd0)

map --hook

chainloader (fd0)+1

rootnoverify (fd0)

map --floppies=1

I think:
-For DOS: 50MB very small and easy for boot iso or ima
-For Windows Mini XP: 45Mb or 53Mb very small (if one hiren 15 iso like 500mb)
-For applications working on MiniXP: can not boot and do not need add it to Minixp ISO or Dos ISO.
-WinImage, UltraISO: using trial version

I make some clips for this tutorial, you can view it. I test it with VMware, boot with grub4dos and all file place into HDD of VMware
