patronu

I have the latest grub4dos. I tried line by line and it seems that partnew is the problem. if I specify first or second partition I get that it can't use the partion because it's used. I believe that there is a problem with the drive because it has 200gb. the last time that it worked I had an 80gb drive with 3 partitions. I'll try with a smaller drive to see if this is the problem. and where can I get the latest grub4dos. the last official version seems to be from 2009. now I have version 0.4.4.

it doesn't matter if it is 3 or 4. it's the same error.

I didn't post the entry from menul.lst because I was using the entry that cdob said. The only difference is that now I have tree partitions instead of two partions like it was the case in that example. So I think your comment is useless. Thank you.

I'm trying to test in a real environment but I get error 30: invalid argunment I have 4 primary partition on the portable harddrive. I choose the fourth partition for this. I double checked the syntax but I don't see anything wrong.

I don't want to see the third partition Also I found something with hide and unhide but right now I'm on windows xp and diskpart doesn't know to hide partition so I can't test.

Hello. Is it possible to modify the mbr in memory? I saw something like that in the documentation of grub4dos. It's an example for loading recovery console. link

At hp logo it freeze. I'm also testing on a virtual machine. Right now I have virtualbox. I didn't specify clearly. And I have a question about your method. How dangerous it is? Can I delete a partition from server? What MBR does it change? The one from usb? That means that after it creates the third partition I will see a third partition on my usb disk?

all programs like acronis, gparted can do this. so why diskpart can't?

I've done what you said but no luck. this time it freezes when it reads the disk.

Is it posssible to use diskpart to move a partiton or to shrink it from left? Currently diskpart shrinks the partion only from right side. So this sucks.

I found some interesting things in those links. some of them I already knew and on bootland forum's I can't register. to many users. about those 5 methods you say, I don't have a problem if method 2 works. grub4dos loads the kernel and I get a graphical menu but it never passes this if i use ntfs partition. that's why I'm searching for a way to boot from iso. Also I attached isolinux.cfg and the init script. From the init script I believe that it's not possible to boot the iso like partedmagic. But maybe I'm wrong. I'm no expert with linux. init.txt isolinux.txt

hp smartstart uses isolinux for booting from cd. how to use grub4dos (I don't care if I use gru4dos or grub2) to boot from that iso? That's what I want to do. Maybe someone with more experience with linux and especially with hp smartstart can help.

I believed that grub2 can do a lot more than grub4dos does. So this sucks. I know that grub4dos use iso emulation or something and that the cd image has to support this but those cd's use isolinux. so that means that booting from iso will not work.

Is it possible to load grub2 from bootmgr? Maybe I should explain what I want to do. I have a portable usb hdd. I use windows 7 boot loader. It has a menu with 3 options (winpe3 x86,winpe3 x64 and grub4dos). The only problem is that I want to boot some iso images. THese iso images are hp smartstart cd and firmware maintenance cd. The problem with these two images is that they don't know about ntfs partitios. So I have to make another partition with fat32. This sucks, but I know that grub2 can boot iso images and maybe this can help to boot directly from iso. Also, it is a possible to make hp smartstart and firmware cd to have ntfs support but I'm no expert in linux. Maybe someone can help. Thank you.

RT 7 Lite beta 2.1.0 for slipstreaming: and using a tool like dism????

I installed it to. Doesn't feel any change but I want to try to see if it's supporting bluetooth 3 and usb 3 out of the box. also has anyone found how to integrate sp1?

if I use wmic then the restore points will be deleted.

I know I can do that, but I want to automate the export of favorites and also I like the fact that ie8 exports a single file not 1000 files from favorites that's why I want to find some command line to do this. preferably using something that is already installed in windows.

has anyone found a command to export bookmarks from ie8?

How to disable system restore on all drives using wmic? This command works for the specified drive. wmic /namespace:\\root\default path SystemRestore call Disable %SystemDrive%\ Also I can use wmic to list drive letter usig wmic logicaldisk get caption. But I don't know how to combine these two commands. Anyone can help? thank you.

didnt' found a solution for the other problem. start "%temp%\rd\1\update\update.exe" /q /n /z this is the command. I get invalid switch - "/q" if I run this command from a path that contains no spaces there is no problem. but I wanted to run it from temporary folder so I have to use quotes but doing so it won't recognize the parameters. so how to use those switches when I have quotes?

thank you jaclaz for the guides. I'll read them tomorrow. Right now I have another problem. Stupid comma or something Tomorrow I'll read those guides and if I can't find a solution I'll post here

it works now. thank you.

the last part doesn't seem to work. I get that DHCPSERVER equals with %DHCPSERVER:*: =% CALL SET "DHCPSERVER=%%DHCPSERVER:*: =%%"

Thank for your support. I found something that works for /f "tokens=15 delims=abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz: " %%a in ('ipconfig /all^|find "DHCP Server"') do set dhcpserver=%%a and also I like short single line scripts. the scrip looks more easy to read and it's simple that way. because I have many lines in it. right now I have more than 1600 lines. previously there were almost 2500 lines
