yeah, but that is cause its from a USB, a DVD is faster... maby a ESATA drive will help

windows on your USB is not so hard, you need to have the Grub4dos version that can boot iso's next use MagicISO to rip the ISO from the CD File > Open CD/DVD Driver and select your CD/DVD drive File > Save as > winxp.iso (you can name it whatever you like, i use winxp.iso now) select destination and you have your winxp.iso next put the winxp.iso in your USB root folder next put the code below in your menu.list and boot whit GRUB into windows... title Windows XP (32b) map (hd0,0)/winxp.iso (hd32) map --hook chainloader (hd32) For the most versions of windows you need a serial, you can put it on a piece of paper you put it in your menu. below is the code i use it wont boot, and you have to select it and press "E" to view, but it is a handy way to keep you serials together without running around with a list of serials. (you can put any test here you want) title Serials (no-boot) map Windows 7 64b XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX map Windows 7 32b XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX map Windows XP 32b XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX kernel boot

Hmm, i like the idea, but i aint gonna use it, cause if you want to change something in your boot partition to a new version you first have to go into ubuntu (which is on my USB) and then change the thing. somehow i think its easy if you just make a map into your drive called "files"...? but hey, thats me... for the rest good tutorial....

it is darren's method, good luck by the way. also a note the method works also with DBAN, maby also other floppy images?

I have konboot like this, try renaming the iso's to something easy.. title Kon-Boot map --mem /konboot.img (fd0) map --hook chainloader (fd0)+1 map (hd1) (hd0) map --hook rootnoverify (fd0) You must disable the CD drive of the U3, cause it wont let you boot into GRUB.. i have deleted my U3 Menu... i dunno if it works when you have the menu.. i am going to try that now, stay tuned ;) EDIT: Well, i doesn't work, uninstall you launchpad if you want to use it as a multipass

they both work fine, but with fat32 you wont get "warnings" about the filesize.. about the acronis iso, it works here.. are you sure its on your drive on the root with exact the same filename? i have this, and it works fine here title Acronis map --mem /acronis.iso (hd32) map --hook chainloader (hd32) try with your Acronis media boot to select the kernel? otherwise i dont know. play with the boot line's

just rename the iso's to something easy like windows 7 64 bits i call win764.iso windows versions are easy, just make the iso and put it on your drive, openoffice cant be installed from dos, as far is i know it needs a OS, an program same as kon-boot is NTpasswd check this thread how to install, as for an anti-virus Avast got the Bart-Cd a bootable Anti-Virus, cost $40 i thought... Memtest i dunno, never used it... DBAN Freedos as for freedos just download the .iso, and use this command and it should work...: (works fine here) title Freedos map (hd0,0)/freedos.iso (hd32) map --hook chainloader (hd32)

it works here, i starts just like the CD, just a bit slower...

if you just dump the windows cd .iso on your drive and use the chainloader command it should work. (it works fine here) the code: title Windows 7 (64b) map (hd0,0)/win764.iso (hd32) map --hook chainloader (hd32)

what do you mean? that you have 2 usb drives, with both the same programs? thats not so hard, just copy paste...?

@roonie 02 Aug 2009 13:14:27 are you sure you put something in your menu.lst? are you sure its called menu.lst? (also with capitals?) your sure your USB is bootable? edit: Do you have copied the grldr from grub4dos 0.4.4? some can, all windows versions work with the chainloader, also freedos works here.. Bart's PE gets stuck here, but thats because i used a wrong windows version somewhere in this thread is a way to boot ubuntu as a iso... so give it a try

yeah, you're right it works now... here is the code for people who have trouble... Just extract the iso in the root of your USB key.. insert the code below in your menu.lst and delete the autorun file, now it should work... Tested with both 8.10 and 9.10 on a fat16 and fat32 usb drive. (both work) title Ubuntu 9.10 root (hd0,0) kernel /casper/vmlinuz boot=casper ramdisk_size=1048576 root=/dev/ram rw quiet splash initrd /casper/initrd.gz

i cant get ubuntu up and running..? also BartPE is giving me some trouble... can anyone help? here is my menu.lst splashimage /splashscreen.xpm.gz timeout 120 title BackTrack 4 BETA root (hd0,0) kernel /bootbt4/vmlinuz vga=0x317 ramdisk_size=6666 root=/dev/ram0 rw quiet initrd=/bootbt4/initrd.gz boot title Bart's PE (Win XP) (BSOD?) map (hd0,0)/bartpe.iso (hd32) map --hook chainloader (hd32) title DBAN map --mem /dban.img (fd0) map --hook chainloader (fd0)+1 map (hd1) (hd0) map --hook rootnoverify (fd0) title Freedos map (hd0,0)/freedos.iso (hd32) map --hook chainloader (hd32) title Kon-Boot map --mem /konboot.img (fd0) map --hook chainloader (fd0)+1 map (hd1) (hd0) map --hook rootnoverify (fd0) title Ubuntu 9.10 (Werkt niet) root (hd0,0) kernel /ubuntu910/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper ramdisk_size=1048576 root=/dev/ram rw quiet splash initrd /ubuntu910/casper/initrd.gz title Windows XP Home (32b) map (hd0,0)/winxphome.iso (hd32) map --hook chainloader (hd32) title Windows Vista (64b) map (hd0,0)/winvista.iso (hd32) map --hook chainloader (hd32) title Windows 7 (32b) map (hd0,0)/win732.iso (hd32) map --hook chainloader (hd32) title Windows 7 (64b) map (hd0,0)/win764.iso (hd32) map --hook chainloader (hd32) title kernel initrd title Reboot reboot
