Hi, Trying to install new WinXPPro on the Asus Eee 1005HA (on the 2. free partition), where I have already systems WinXpHome (1. partittion) and Ubuntu (3. extended partition) I found the next problem, what is probably the fault of BIOS. The actual boot manager is GRUB from linux in the MBR. I formatted my Kingston 1Gb pendrive with RMPrepUSB, options Boot as HDD / XP bootable. Settings in WinSetupFromUSB: - Force target disc drive: Removable - BOOT.INI adjustments: DiskNR 0, PartitionNr 2 At copying boot files get a message about problem around installing GRUB (log bellow), but it finishes the full process (copying Win files, etc.) 2009/11/09 03:38:21- Checking if grub4dos is installed properly 2009/11/09 03:38:21- grub4dos BS/MBR and files are NOT installed properly 2009/11/09 03:38:21- Installing grub4dos BS/MBR and files 2009/11/09 03:38:21- Backing up MBR of disk #1 2009/11/09 03:38:21- C:\WinSetupFromUSB\files\grub4dos\grubinst.exe -s=mbrdisk1-20091109-033439.dat -t (hd1) 2009/11/09 03:38:23- Backed up MBR of disk #1 2009/11/09 03:38:23- Backing up BootSector of disk #1 partition #0 2009/11/09 03:38:25- Backed up BootSector of disk #1 partition #0 2009/11/09 03:38:25- Checking for grldr string in BootSector of disk #1 partition #0 2009/11/09 03:38:27- Saved BootSector of disk #1 partition #0 2009/11/09 03:38:28- Grub4dos bootsector not found 2009/11/09 03:38:28- Checking for grldr string in MBR of disk #1 2009/11/09 03:38:30- Saved MBR of disk #1 2009/11/09 03:38:31- Grub4dos MBR not found 2009/11/09 03:38:31- Installing grub4dos bootsector to (hd1,0) 2009/11/09 03:38:31- C:\WinSetupFromUSB\files\grub4dos\grubinst.exe (hd1,0) 2009/11/09 03:38:35- Checking for grldr string in BootSector of disk #1 partition #0 2009/11/09 03:38:37- Saved BootSector of disk #1 partition #0 2009/11/09 03:38:38- Grub4dos bootsector not found 2009/11/09 03:38:38- Could not install grub4dos bootsector 2009/11/09 03:38:42- Installing grub4dos MBR to (hd1) 2009/11/09 03:38:42- C:\WinSetupFromUSB\files\grub4dos\grubinst.exe (hd1) 2009/11/09 03:38:46- Checking for grldr string in MBR of disk #1 2009/11/09 03:38:48- Saved MBR of disk #1 2009/11/09 03:38:49- Grub4dos MBR found 2009/11/09 03:38:49- Copying grldr 2009/11/09 03:38:50- Copying menu.lst 2009/11/09 03:38:50- Copying default 2009/11/09 03:38:50- grub4dos installed After reboot in BIOS I set the boot order: - removable - hard disk (sees 2 hard disks: the original Hitachi and the prepared USB pendrive) Unfortunately at hard disk selection I can only choose BETWEEN Hitachi and USB and not to SET ORDER. So if I set Hitachi the boot order looks like - removable - Hitachi In this case NOTHING happens, as if no USB device connected (starts the old Linux GRUB) If I select USB as Hard disk then the boot order is - removable - USB In this case starts the Win setup process, but the Setup program only sees the USB drive/partition and not the Hitachi partitions where should be install the new WinXPPro In both case the first "removable" parameter as boot device has no effect, everything depends what I set up (as a second boot device) for hard disk (Hitachi or prepared USB) I hope my problem is understandable (because of my poor English) and somebody have solution for my problem. Thanks in advance
