deckoff Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) For a reasons known only to few ancient gods my PC will boot only from DOS (free or MS) formatted USB-s. Grub based will be reported unbootable or boot porcess will end with error, other will just freeze the boot process altogether. To the topic:I tried booting off with a FreeDOS USB , with grub4dos added. It was prepared with HP tool. and grub4dos started via autoexec.bat. I use it to chainload to a USB, prepared with WinSetupFromUSB When the USB boots, I domap (hd0) (hd2)map (hd2) (hd0)map --hookuuid (to check if I mapped everything correct)find --set-root /grldrbootAt this point green.yellow grub screen of WinSetupFromUSB will welcome me Here things can go two ways1)If I try to boot and DOS-USB is still plugged, the setup will report that TXTSETUP.SIF(as far as I remember) was not found2) If I plug out the DOS-USB and only the WinSetupFromUSB is plugged, everything will work as normal. Just anted to let you all know Edited December 9, 2011 by deckoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
