CD Boot menu - CDshell - having trouble getting it to run gdisk to format my drive

I made a multiboot OS cd from the http://flyakite.msfn.org/ method but unfortunately its down off and on.  Anyhow see the post I pasted below.  I'm trying to get gdisk to run off of the cd.  I've tried batch files and .ima,.img files but it hasn't worked.  I don't believe you can just run dos commands from within cdshell.  From reading the site they want you to use isolinux memdisk - to load the image into a ramdisk.  Still with the recommended commands I can't get gdsik to work.  Any help is appreciated.

See below:

Well I went with the  http://flyakite.msfn.org/ method and I have 210 boot folders and everything is working.  But something as simple as getting gdisk to run off of the boot cd I can't get to work.  I've tried to use isolinux to boot the gdisk image but I can't get that to work.  I'm using the CDshell method for my boot menu

Key 9 is what I'm working on now to run the gdisk.ima   All in all I just want to run a batch file that uses gdisk to format and partition the drive so I can then load the OS.  I'm open to other tools besides gdisk if I can get it to work here.  Thanks
