Hello All, I am using NU2's BCD with the isolunix/memdisk add-on to create the cd. Floppy images work fine, however the bootsector (w2K et.al) doesn't. I get an NTLDR not found error. Not a problem, as the issue is that the bootsector needs to be in the root of the CD. Well if I do that then how do I spec that location properly in isolinux.cfg for the label tag? For example- this

Is there a practical reason that the NTLDR clause of the CHAIN module isn't operable under ISOLINUX ? The reason for my question is that I like the SYSLINUX suite over the alternatives, that is GRUB and BCDW, however these pkgs all can chainload (just about anything) from an ISO. That is, they can handle .BSS files and the various NT/XP boot files, like SETUPLDR.BIN, etc. I make/update

The following patch for chain.c32 adds support to boot the Recovery Console of Windows NT/2K/XP. Normally when you want to boot the recovery console, you need to patch "cmdcons\0" into the bootsectorof the partition (8 bytes starting at 0x3 (4th byte)). We can do this patching in memory: strcpy((char *) 0x7c03, "cmdcons"); To boot the recovery console with chain.c32:

I'm having trouble with opening files on fat32 partitions with programs running under wine. The programs report that they can't find the file, even though it exists. I can open files on reiser and iso9660 partitions successfully. The simplest program I could find that exhibits this problem is notepad. If I provide the filename on the command line, notepad.exe tells me it can't find

Greetings, I encounter a problem that should be basic, but I can't get a clue. I have 8G USB disk formatted as FAT32. I run (syslinux -i -s -r -m H:) to make it bootable, and write syslinux.cfg according to the documents, but it will not boot some items. Syslinux is 6.03, bios files used. The whole syslinux.cfg file:

So when you boot from only your hard drive attached, it is the primary and only drive. It loads the master boot record that load the NT Loader boot code that is then configured to load the operating system from the primary partition on the primary drive. When you boot from the USB drive, you make it the Primary drive. You then tell it to load the MBR fromt the secondary drive. The secondary

The following boot entries: # COM32 chain.c32 APPEND fs ntldr=/bootmgr # or: # COM32 chain.c32 APPEND hd0,1 ntldr=/bootmgr # might result in the following error: # Insane primary (MBR) partition. Can't find myself on the drive I booted from. # when using chain.c32 v4.07. I have seen similar error reports when using chain.c32 v4.06 too. It works correctly with chain.c32 v4.05, even when

syslinux-1.75 We have many legacy boot disks (setup for nics, scsi adapters, ...) and I'm trying to put all of them on 1 CD which would ask the user "which floppy image you want to boot?" I'm using isolinux. I've a problem with the winxp boot floppy made as per: http://support.microsoft.com/directory/article.asp?ID=KB;EN-US;Q305595 (format a: and then cp ntldr

Lu Wei, For the DOS portion make sure you have a working FAT-32 DOS Bootable Drive first. Back up it's boot sector into a file. This file will probably be 512 Bytes and if you were to open it with a Hex editor it would start with ".X.MSWIN4.1" and end with "SYS~..WINBOOT SYS..U" This would of course be looking at the ASCII view. Assuming you put the file in the DOS

Lu Wei, What Hard drive are you also trying to boot? The first and only fixed drive inside a computer? If so would the line to boot a local HD not be: LABEL LOCAL MENU LABEL Local operating system in harddrive (if available) kernel chain.c32 append hd0 -Adan On Thu, Apr 4, 2019 at 8:56 AM Adan Calderon <adancalderon at gmail.com> wrote: > > Lu Wei, > > For the DOS portion

When booting windows I currently have to use an extracted boot sector to chain-load the OS, is there any merit to creating a method to execute NTLDR directly using a /reverse engineered/ version of the boot sector?
