[How to install Windows from USB- WinSetupFromUSB with GUI]

I would post here for support from grub4dos developers, mentioning the error above, result of grubinst.exe -l (hd1), your OS you run grubinst under, partition is NTFS and that FAT32 works fine:

I will do.

But first, I would try to run WinSetup from XP and see if it is a Vista-related issue.

Do you see 'grldr' string before and after launching grubinst.exe?

I don't see it.

Before and after, sector image is exactly the same:

grubinst.exe gave me this output:

C:\>D:\MULTIBOOT\WinSetupFromUSB\files\grub4dos\grubinst.exe -v --pause (hd1,0)
Start sector: 0x3F
Image type: NTFS
Install mode
grubinst: Write error
Press <ENTER> to continue ...

USB pen is set to "optimize for removal", it was never set to "optimize for perfomance".

What do you think ? Does grubinst.exe have a successful output ?

By using an account with admin rights, or right click->run as administrator?

The second one.

Where did this one come from?

It is an USB HD used to store some data, but nothing related to WinSetup e co.

However, this afternoon I tried to reformat in fat32 and adding UBCD4Win..it works.

So I tried another time with NTFS and bootmgr error.

@ ilko_t

Thank you very much ! Latest snapshot works with Vista

So I tried to test with Qemu and gave me same error "bootmgr missing".

I run WinSetup with admin rights, and there were no other usb devices plugged..

Did you run WinSetupFromUSB under Vista?

Yes.

What are contents of the USB stick?

I only formatted to NTFS and added UBCD4Win contents, nothing else.

Just another question: does Qemu test work on Vista ? When I try to run, it gives me an error - event viewer says there was a problem with ntdll.dll -

Hi,

I'm trying to use WinSetupFromUSB to add UBCD4Win to my USB pen (8 GB): set as Removable, NTFS formatted with HP tool.

Tested on my laptop (Vista Home Premium 32 bit), it says "Bootmgr is missing. Type CTRL+ALT+CANC to reboot"

I'm not so expert, but does not bootmgr refer to Vista bootloader ?
