Stage 5: grldr.mbr loads grldr and displays GRUP4DOS menu Stage 4: BootMgr loads grldr.mbr (if I select that option from my Windows Menu) Stage 3: Boot Sector loads BootMgr and uses BCD registry hive to display Windows Boot Menu Stage 2: MBR loads my Boot Sector on my USB Flash Active Partition (which contains BootMgr and BCD Files) Stage 1: Bios Load MBR on my USB Flash Drive It's a multi-stage boot up sequence that works great. But thanks to you, I was able to get my Windows BootMgr on my flash drive to boot grldr.mbr to show a GRUB4DOS menu to successfully load my Acronis Recovery ISO and my WIN7圆4 Professional Install ISO!!įrom my flash drive, I can now boot my two installations of Win7, Acronis, and Win7 Install. I'm a Windows person and have never used a Unix distribution. I want to thank you so much for your "Using Grub4DOS to Create a Bootable Drive" tutorial!! This is an older post so I don't know if you'll get this but. What happens if you use the files from the downloaded ISO instead of the installed versions? Hopefully that is a little clearer as to what I have tried with which files from where.ĭoes it work if you boot the ISO file directly with Grub4DOS? If instead of f11.cfg, I use the syslinux.cfg file from the link above and detailed below I am back to a working "trial":Īppend initrd=ramdisk.dat vga=0x314 ramdisk_size=40000 quietįiles on my Bootable Rescue Media Builder created ISO If I rename or copy f11.cfg to syslinux.cfg almost every line comes up as an error during boot and it fails to a "boot:" prompt. If I use "syslinux.exe -ma " and then copy the files over from the Bootable Rescue Media Builder ISO it does not find the f11.cfg file and it fails to a "boot:" prompt. If I use unetbootin to install the Bootable Rescue Media Builder image, I get a cursor stuck in the upper left forever. I am unable to make that process actually boot. As I said in my first post, I did build an ISO with Bootable Rescue Media Builder and extract the files and copy them over.
