ilko_t Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I guess you have used one of the latest WinSetupFromUSB versions. Why did you need to change default grub4dos config files?I see a lot of changes which don't make sense to me why were made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripredacus Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 ive update my built now...but its looks like still messy..any suggestion?I've closed the topic in this link. Try to keep all your questions about multibooting USB in one thread. Do not make multiple topics for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
