make a bootable disk

[hack123]

I am making a bat file that has a menu on it... It is supposed to come up in dos mode when you start the machine (win 2000Pro) and when I start the machine up, it cycles through all of the menus and never is on the beginning menu. When I start the bat file on the desktop by double clicking it, it works fine.

Please help.

post your batch file, maybe someone can debug it for you.

The coding is:
@echo off

REM This is the main menu
cls
:start
echo ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ»
echo º Main Menu º
echo ÌÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ͹
echo º1.+ BIOS º
echo º2.+ GHOST º
echo º3.+ DEBUG º
echo º4. Exit º
echo ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ
set choice=
set /p choice=Your choice:
if '%choice%' == '4' goto exit
if '%choice%' == '3' goto debug
if '%choice%' == '2' goto ghost
if '%choice%' == '1' goto bios

REM This is the submenu of the ghost menu
cls
:ghost

Ahh... another Dell Tech
1. what will this be used for mainly... what aspects of bios and ghost?
2. why the selections of machines for ghost? will this be set to pull the selective image?

i don't see that goto line on any of yours... that would stop it from reading right through all of them....


also, it looks like you know what you're doing, but for anyone else here's a few links...

[bla!!]

It sounds to me like you're variable isn't re-setting.

At the exit portion of your batch file try adding

set choice=0

The program is supposed to from a single menu, open different functions on a bootable cd... Instead of putting in a whole different bunch of cd's.
The cd contains all of the machines that I have. The choice command does not work with win 2kPro.
