similar to: Any way to boot Windows NT (specifically Win2K) directly?

Hello list, I have a question concerning the possibility of booting one of two Windows systems installed on two partitions. In case with one Windows system and one Linux system, I can chainload grub or windows loader, and this is OK. But in case with two Windows systems, when I installed second system, the installer added multi boot loader(I think it's called bootmgr), and then I can't

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:

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

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?

HI, i have updatete to 6.1-PRERELEASE and after the "installworld" step GRUB is unable to boot FreeBSD. After i did the installworld and rebooted the GRUB error was: 23 : Error while parsing number I have reinstalled the standard FreeBSD loader for now. Booting with a GRUB boot-floppy i am able to start either XP or Linux but trying to start FreeBSD the system just reboots, no

I installed CentOS 7 on a Shuttle X27D box (dual-core Atom 330), and so far it seems to work fine, but it didn't set up a Grub2 entry for the existing Windows XP installation in the first partition (MBR). Running os-prober generates no output. fdisk shows that the NTFS partition is still present as /dev/sda1, and still has the bootable flag set. I added a menuentry for Windows to the end of

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

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

This patch introduces extra functionality to chain.c, mainly with reference to BPB adjustments, but not only that. It expects 3 small patches I sent earlier (they are included for easy reference, patches 1-3/4). The changes introduced are: 1) file and boot sector use separate options to control load address and jump address (if applicable). Options are as described below: *

chain.c32 of SYSLINUX 3.82 does set the boot drive passed to the DL register to 0x80 and not to the boot drive (CD-drive). This can be a problem if you want to chainload grldr (grub4dos bootloader) from a CD and if you want to let grldr search for its menu.lst file on the CD.

I apologize if this is the wrong place to be asking this, but I'm pretty much out of options on where to go. I'm using the pxelinux version of tftp. Everything has worked well up to this point, however I've been trying to impliment a pxe bartpe solution in our office. Unfortunatly tftp is not passing the files correctly to the client. Here's the rundown. Server client connects to

Hi all, I am at the end of my wits, after a day and a half of mucking around with this :) My intention was to take a multi-boot DVD - of the style you get with an MSDN subscription - and burn an individual installer to disc. How to do this? My theory was to take the files for the installation CD, add isolinux, add a bootsector, and away I go. Unfortunately it doesn't seem this easy. So I

Adding title Windows XP rootnoverify (hd0,1) chainloader +1 to /etc/grub.conf has always worked for me on every dual boot Win2k, XP, 2k3 / linux boxes I have ever built. Install Windows first then install Linux. You do not need a kernel that has NTFS support and you don't have to play with NTLDR. I know that this goes against just about every Dual-Boot HOWTO you will

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

I've a 100 MB FAT32 partition which is the first primary (and active) partition of my hard disk. I've installed SYSLINUX to that drive. I've another primary partition which I installed Windows XP to it (and this partition is NTFS). I want to have a boot menu, so I used chain.c32 and menu.c32 My syslinux.conf file is as below: LABEL WinXP COM32 chain.c32 APPEND hd0 2 ntldr=ntldr But

Allow the grub loader to (optionally) support using a GRUB menu file. For example chain fs grub=stage2,grub.conf will load GRUB's stage2 and pass the (absolute) path to the file "grub.conf" in the Syslinux filesystem to GRUB's stage2. The path is passed to stage2 in GRUB's device/partition syntax (eg, "(hd0,1)/foo"). Note that we don't check whether the
