mkisofs cannot find eltorito file?

I've been following some of the tutorials / articles on this site but I cannot make an eltorito boot image with mkisofs or genisoimage (
http://wiki.osdev.org/Bootable_El-Torit ... RUB_Legacy), whenever I try it returns 'Uh, oh I can't find the boot image'.
It must be something I'm doing wrong because I get the same message on Windows and Linux, I cant find any problem with the file permissions either.

The file *does* exist at C:\isoimage\boot\grub\stage2_eltorito, doesn't it?

Just checking
The problem is that you've given it "isoimage/boot/grub/stage2_eltorito". The wiki article you linked to actually just has "boot/grub/stage2_eltorito" - mkisofs will take the parameter to -b as a descendant of the ISO image directory (in your case, isoimage).
