I have the Last 2 Weeks spend my time for serching Informations about
the very interesting Programm called ISOEMU.
Here is a Example what ISOEMU can do.
http://wonderfultown.blogspot.com/2005_ ... chive.html
If i understand very well the hole thing then with "ISOEMU" we the users of Reactos need no more to burn the needed boot ISO Images to the CD anymore. We have only to download the ISO image to a Fat32/NTFS partition.Isoemu is developed to boot from an iso file on a FAT32/NTFS partition. The reason why it's useful to me is, I can put FreeBSD's booting CD iso image on the root directory. Since I can boot from FreeBSD's booting CD, I can easily download rest of the system from FTP server. It took me several hours to figure a way out, but it only took me 20 minutes to install the whole system.
Then after this extract the ISOEMU Zip File to the Partition where the ISO file is locate.
After all Files are stored on the Partition it need only for the End to change the Path to the Iso File in the isoemu.ini File.
After this we can from a MSDOS boot disk run the the MSDOS command
"IELDR.EXE" and the hole thing should work like on a normal CD ROM.

to the root directory of a FAT32 partition;
-AND- change a line of isoemu.ini:
"isoemu isogrub.iso" (modify `isogrub.iso` to your iso file)
C) launch isoemu from dos command line:
C:\boot\>ieldr.exe That's all!
Can somebody please tell me if he has suceess running the ISOGRUB.ISO file which is delivered together with the ISOEMU ZIP Package from a FAT32/NTFS Partition directly.
Booting FREEBSD LIVE CD from WINDOWS NT
Hello Anay,
The url provided by u solved the problem & its really surprising.
Iam able to boot the .iso files directly from hard disks.
http://159.226.20.15/grub_chs/isoemu/bin/ReadME-eng.txt
I had followed the method A & it worked
--------------------------
A) As a menu item of NTLDR
1). Extract ieldr to your c:\, and modify your boot.ini£¬add the
following line:
c:\ieldr="Load IsoEmu SDV 3rd"
2). Extract isoemu.ini and the iso file what you want to Emulate,
to the root directory of a FAT32 partition;
-AND- change a line of isoemu.ini:
"isoemu isogrub.iso" (modify `isogrub.iso` to your iso file)
If we can boot ISO files directly from a FAT32/NTFS Partition without to burn it to a CD can we also do that with the Reactos ISO FILE ?
Has somebody try allready this possibility ?
here is the URL to download the ISOEMU Zip Package

Boot from an ISO file located on a FAT32/NTFS partition
=======================================================
This zip package contains 4 files, they are:
pi.gif - BeiJing 2008, the Olympic Games, the Paralympic Games
ieldr - ISOEmu, the loader, main program, used by NTDLR
ieldr.exe - ISOEmu, using in dos command line
isoemu.ini - configuration file for ieldr
isogrub.iso - demo iso file(Boot Grub)
ishell_eng.chm - usage of internal shell
ReadME - IT's me
Known Limitation
=================
* Support FAT32/NTFS partition only;
* Works on x86's RealMode only(so this app cannot be used to boot Windows PE,
OR, WinNT based OS), `cause it hooks INT13h;
* Support 8.3 file format only;
HOW TO USE
============
A) As a menu item of NTLDR
1). Extract ieldr to your c:\, and modify your boot.ini£¬add the
following line:
c:\ieldr="Load IsoEmu SDV 3rd"
2). Extract isoemu.ini and the iso file what you want to Emulate,
to the root directory of a FAT32 partition;
-AND- change a line of isoemu.ini:
"isoemu isogrub.iso" (modify `isogrub.iso` to your iso file)
B) Run from Grub, or Other Loader. (can run @0x0000:0x7c00, 0x0000:0x8200)
It's simple, put the ieldr to one place where grub can found it,
and then, use:
run (path)/ieldr That's all!
C) launch isoemu from dos command line:
C:\boot\>ieldr.exe That's all!
D) Something about the internal-shell
This shell is a multi-cd-loader just like Mr. Bart's DiskEmu1x. It has
many commands(for more info, type help at the prompt), such as:
* Use "UP"/"F3" keys for last command;
* Run app from a CD£¬i.e. 1.44M/2.88M FDD-img£¬or another boot loader;
* Drv, to change the drive number of CD, it is always 0x9f in VMWare;
* Dir/ls, list the current directory;
* BOOT boot system from fdd/hdd/cdrom, just like: boot hdd [CR]
* colorful items looks like `bash`.
* And there is a east egg... ...
>> This program is designed for exploration; till now, there are some bugs, maybe.
