shadoxity Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Hey everyone,I have setup a multi installer USB hard drive, it is setup as follows.partition 1 - xp install and windows 7 x86partition 2 - windows 7 x64 partition 3 - windows server 2008 x64.I have the win 7 and x86 as universal disks so you can pick the version to install.Windows 7 64 and 32bit load up fine and you can pick which OS to install.when running server 2008 setup, the options for which OS to install come up with windows 7 basic through to ultimate.I have no idea why this is happening... the ISO i used boots up normally and you can pick which server 2008 version.Any ideas?

jaclaz Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Which approach did you use in assembling the things together?Are you using grub4dos?Are you hiding "other" partitions?jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoxity Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 Using grub4dos.I used winsetupfromusb beta 7Formatted the partitions and installed grub then used that to copy the relevant files over.Not hiding any partitions. the only other partition is a data one.

ilko_t Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Can you confirm that windows 7 x64 works fine from partition 2?Are all three partitions primary? Which one is active? Is there such?Can you rename ei.cfg to ei.cfg.bak in partition3\sources and try again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there such?Can you rename ei.cfg to ei.cfg.bak in partition3\sources and try again?Win7 x64 Is coming up with all the server 2008 r2 options.So some how they are switching eachother :SPartition 1 is activeall 3 partitions are primary partitions and they are now NTFS.i renamed ei.cfg to ei.cfg.bak in partition 3, now win7 x64 comes up with the correct options. and also server 2008 r2 seems to be coming up with the correct options too :SI dont get it... this is strange. Should i just leave it like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilko_t Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I'd leave it as it is since it's working alright now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
