Want one disc that boots into Windows setup, a recovery tool or a disk utility, picked from a menu? EasyBoot arranges those boot options behind a custom menu. The program provides a visual editor for designing that screen, then generates the boot files and ISO image for the disc.
Boot-menu layout editor
You lay out the boot screen yourself, positioning labels, menu entries and key actions. The preview shows the layout as it takes shape; objects can be selected and repositioned in that preview with the mouse or keyboard. An undo command can restore an earlier edit.
Background images and a startup logo provide additional screen elements. Menu movement can be customized, and a time counter or password protection can be added to the boot menu.
Menu choices and shortcuts
Menu entries can launch boot options directly or present a selection step. Arrow keys, Tab, Enter, and Spacebar provide keyboard navigation, while assigned shortcut keys can jump to an entry or function keys can start a selected option. EasyBoot also supports submenus for organizing more involved disc menus.
- Use the visual editor to define screen placement, labels, and key actions.
- Preview the design before generating the boot files.
- Create the ISO image within EasyBoot, then record it with CD/DVD burning software.
Boot files and ISO output
After the menu is configured, EasyBoot automatically generates the boot-loader and menu files and can build a bootable ISO. That workflow is intended for CD and DVD projects, including multi-boot discs that bring several compatible boot options together. The finished ISO is recorded with a separate disc-burning application.
