Unfortunately I can't use GPT partitions because the usb stick are created by non-technical users and lots of them are still using xp 32 bits.

Renato, I don't think it would take that long to make a little script that even an XP user could use to generate GPT formatted thumb-drives. I believe someone made the Rufus utility for just such an occasion Rufus - Create bootable USB drives the easy way Rufus - Create bootable USB drives the easy way Rufus Create bootable USB drives the easy way Rufus is a utility that

Use GPT partition on USB stick and your problem is solved without need to know the

Hi all, I'm building extlinux on a rather limited linux system (LFS), bios version (no efi). Unfortunately, extlinux.txt does not contain any information related to build procedures and dependencies. python /sources/syslinux-6.03pre11/com32/cmenu/menugen.py --input=/sources/syslinux-6.03pre11/com32/cmenu/test2.menu --output=test2.c

Morning all, I have a HP Envy dual boot system (Win8 for serious stuff, i.e. Train Sim and Flight Sim) and Centos 7 for everything else. In the past I've had the occasional problem where an update on the windows side has updated the UEFI boot sequence but using efibootmgr has always fixed it. On Friday I discovered that my HDD was failing so I tried using Clonezilla to move it on to a new

That module should be available.

Hi guys, I'm have a pure 64-bit system (Intel based). Due to that I can't use 32-bit ELF extlinux binary provided in the syslinux-6.03 package. Unfortunately building extlinux installer failed...

Win32DiskImage rulez. :-D Bonus: No more geometry problems on old BIOSes. Just create a nice GPT formatted image with a cool protective MBR. This can even expose the first partition via

hi, I'm not sure if this is the right list. my client is sharing a folder via samba (/export) In that folder there is a automount-entry for my usbstick (/export/usbstick) On another host i can mount the export with mount.smbfs As soon as I access the stick (so automount gets active) i cannot umount the share. Get error: device is busy (automount timeout is set to 2sec.) When i never access

The RAW nature of Disk Imager fails to leverage the unique intentions of UUID to surmount the problems of multiple bootable drives in the same system for purposes of knowing which one you actually booted from and should continue to use.

I have used syslinux 4.0x and earlier for many years, with Puppy Linux and more recently Quirky Linux. Though, my knowledge of all the capabilities of syslinux remains rudimentary. I am new to UEFI. I recently got my hands on a win8.1 laptop, 64-bit system, and decided to tackle booting Quirky on it, from a USB stick. I turned off Secure Boot. I wrote /usr/share/syslinux/gptmbr.bin to the flash
