i am trying to use chain.c32 with isolinux to load WinPE/BartPE/etc and I can not get it to work. I have tried with the simple.c32, and just from the isolinux prompt. I have tried 3.32-pre6, 3.20, and jumped back and tried 3.08. All configurations fail with 'Cannot read Master Boot Record'. The boot sectors are known to be good, and are known to work with chain.c32 with pxelinux. they also work with CDShell, and its bundled isolinux/chain. The layout of my Project is very simple for this, in the root I have: isolinux.bin isolinux.cfg memdisk chain.c32 menu.c32 (renamed from simple.c32) 2krc.dat bootsect.bin erd.dat i386 erd1 (etc..) My isolinux.cfg: DEFAULT menu.c32 PROMPT 1 TIMEOUT 100 ONTIMEOUT boothdd LABEL boothdd localboot 0x80 Any pointers would be appreciated. -Andrew -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Also, is this one machine only, or more than one? -hpa
