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

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

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: *

Hello all. Here[1] is a branch where chain.c32 can chain-boot a partition on a GPT disk when given the partition index. boot: chain hd1 84 (For example.) - Shao Miller [1] http://git.zytor.com/?p=users/sha0/syslinux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/ chain_gpt

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.

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
