I will try. Basicaly my steps are different then ones described my MS, and for understanding them you need to know about El-torito
specification and how Reg RAM EWF works. (Too much to be written here :-( )

Actualy Pre FBA image is not a must to have on CD. But you must have CD that is created from same partition that you will use during
the FBA process. (Once you get CD you can use it as long as you do not repartition your target disk)

What were results of all of these operations?

It is not necesary to do, but it is easier procedure on long runs (if you know how to do it). Do not mix procedures that I described
with ones sugested by MS, either follow one or other way to the letter.

Yes. And in step between you need to patch MBR signature to 'ELTO' this is what my tool does. Without it ISO file is not apropriate
for El-torito drivers. So these four bytes are only reason why you need intermidiary step of making an ISO file.
