I've had a lot of luck with grub4dos.  At work I use it to present a
menu to the PXE client.  I've had most success booting .iso files by
having grub4dos memory map them, so having a fair amount of ram is
helpful.  I've used it to boot damn small linux, puppy linux, Dell
diagnostic cd .iso, dban iso, spinrite .iso etc.

See the grub4dos section of this forum for good info:
