Hello Sir, on Friday, August 20, 2010 11:32 AM Gert Hulselmans wrote> loading the boot file ... > Boting ... > "-" cursor keeps on blinckingAre you quite sure that booting the Windows Recovery Console under syslinux can work and that "cursor keeps blinking" is only a problem of your special menu? YES I am 100% sure that booting the Windows Recovery Console under Syslinux had worked and that cursor goes on blinking. What next please, Thanks in advance with regards, Prof S W Damle

The path that I would go: 100: Known good Syslinux, booting Windows Recovery Console, no menu 200: Syslinux 4.02, booting Windows Recovery Console, no menu 300: Syslinux 4.02, with simple menu, booting Windows Recovery Console 400: Syslinux 4.02, complex menu, booting Windows Recovery Console 500: Syslinux 4.02, complex menu, booting several programs And expect some more steps between 100-200 and 200-300> Thanks in advanceYou are welcome. And if you want to say thank louder, then share your working configuration with mankind ( just put it on a webpage)> with regards, > Prof S W DamleCheers Geert Stappers
