Episode 5x24, USB Multipass Options

[koroxic]

It seems like some people have been having trouble booting windows iso's using the following code

CODE

title Windows XP
map (hd0,0)/winxp.iso (hd32)
map --hook
chainloader (hd32)

all you have to do to make it work is add BOOT at the end

CODE

title Windows 7
map (hd0,0)/win7.iso (hd32)
map --hook
chainloader (hd32)
boot

maybe this will work for all iso files that are not booting?


here is the reference page i found it at ...

Grub4DOS

if somebody has already posted the solution please forget what i have said ..lol

[scifijunkie]

yea that could work but that does not help me with the FAT: utf8 is not a recommended IO for FAT Filesystems, Filesystem will be case sensitive error that clonezilla and gparted keeps giving me... plus the WinSetupFromUSB_0-2-3 make it easy to get the windows setups to work...

[H@L0_F00]

What I've found about such error deals with ASCII characters in filenames. Try and see if you've got any filenames that could contain any ASCII characters, rename them, and see if that stops the problem.

[scifijunkie]

do you mean I need to check each file in my clonezilla and gparted folders for the for that ASCII characters filenames then rename them??? I don't really want to do that so I will see if mounting the iso will work... thank you for your help...

[H@L0_F00]

Does it go on a continuous loop about the file system being case sensitive? If so, and you're running Windows 7, it looks like it could be Windows 7 causing the problem. Mine does the same thing with GParted, and so does my cousins. I haven't been able to find out why it does this yet but I'll continue googling it.

[scifijunkie]

yes it does but it does it when it trys to look at the multipass as a drive and it is FAT32... I tryed it on both computers that I have which one has windows 7 and the other has windows XP Pro SP3...

[scifijunkie]

I just now try boot it using the ISO and is still does the same thing... I really want to get it going on my multipass. I try googling it myself before I started to post in here and could not make heads or tails about it... it just means I need to keep on trying out things to see if I can get it working..

[scifijunkie]

I finely got clonezilla and gparted to work....

My clonezilla menu is now

Grub4DOS

I just tried this out and it was a no go for me. After the initial loading of the devices (the blue screen right away) I get the BSOD. This is my code that it gives me: 0x0000007b (0xf7a58524, 0xc0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000). Just wondering if you could try this out and see if you get the same thing? I get it in VM and on a PC. Thanks!

The disk emulation is lost when Windows setup tries to continue after loading drivers and such, resulting in the BSOD.

[scifijunkie]

try using WinSetupFromUSB...

OK, I formatted my OCZ Diesel 16GB to fat 32, ran the grubinst_GUI, copied grldr from grub4dos 0.4.4, extracted or copied my ISO's, and created my menu.lst file according to what I've read in the now 20 pages of this topic. It was fun, I enjoyed myself. Unfortunately, when I try to boot to it I get some error about a PXE stack? Any ideas?

Great thing this is! Here's my menu.lst file:

Doesn't Work:

*FreeDOS
*Kaspersky Rescue CD
*Puppy Linux

Still doing my research and figuring things out...that is, when I get my internet connection back from it's shaping

[zac_haryy]

PXE is booting something through your network and it would get the pxe info from a pxe server (i believe this is correct)...so basically you have your computer to boot from network (PXE) mode and not USB mode

[BCPaladin]

That's interesting. I'm booting the flash drive from the boot menu.

[BCPaladin]

Its an older PC. To be honest I was surprised that it even allowed the option to boot from the flash drive.
