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:

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: *

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

filename to GRUB Legacy GRUB Legacy reserves 89 bytes for storing the filename of the configfile from memory address 0x8217 to 0x826f. We allow overwriting the default value (/boot/grub/menu.lst) when grubcfg=<filename> is used together with grub=<loader>. Examples: chain.c32 fs grub=/boot/grub/stage2 grubcfg=/boot/grub/grub.lst chain.c32 hd1,10 grub=/boot/grub/stage2

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. For more info: http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=8457 This 1 line patch fixes the issue (Thanks to

Here is a patch that makes it possible to chainload GRUB2 core.img form chain.c32. It reuses the grub= parameter (used for chainloading GRUB Legacy stage2): - both loaded at 0x8000 - start execution at offset 0x200 (0x8200 in memory) GRUB2 allows to specify another "GRUB home dir" than the standard /boot/grub GRUB2 doesn't allow to change the configfile 'grub.cfg' name

Look into the original XP cd and see where NTLDR is located, then place it on your cd in the same directory and it 'should' work. I have created some 2000 XP boot cd's with integrated recent service pack's and they still boot. But I do that with cdrecord+original boot sector, not with any isolinux stuff... But I hope this help! -----Original Message----- From: G. Murali
