Multiboot iso


Hello all, I've got a few iso images which I need to stick onto a DVD, these are Windows and Linux based. I've read isolinux can do this but don't know too much about adding in Windows images or using iso's. I've had a go with magicisos multiboot gui but got checksum errors for the linux stuff and some other errors on the windows images, I'm basically making a recovery CD for my work. Obviously I need a menu to select which iso gets loaded.

I've looked at a bunch of guides on how to do this, lots of them are for specific images and thus won't work with my disk images.

The images are as follows:

Windows server 2003 std edition
OpenSuse 9.3
Ophcrack
ERD 2005

I suppose you can do it with grub.
However, you will have a hard time with Windows server 2003. The first problem is legal and the second is technical. I'm not sure if Windows can mount iso images. It probably can't.

Not problems. I only want the recovery console and were using the datacentre edition of server 2003 so I doubt there will be any legal issues. I've read mostly making a multiboot CD with Windows is significantly easier than linux, the big problem is having both. ophcrack is slax based and suse isn't so I think theres potential problems there :S

guess I'll have to carry on reading, this is a much harder project than originally anticipated
