Netshroud Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Psychosis was working on this but I don't think it's been accomplished yet since mapping with GRUB4DOS differs from Grub2. Nope. I haven't got it working yet, as I got sidetracked trying to get the Grub2 menu GUI (full-color, background images, etc) working. I'm keeping my USB Grub4Dos now, but will get another one to mess with Grub2 on soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xzel Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I tend to carry about a WD 320gb and 500gb My Passport with me in tool bag. I also tend to carry around about 10 different usb keys for various things. But as of today, I bought a 32gb usb at Frys for $60. I'm hoping to be able to eliminate the need for a majority of the smaller keys with this 32gb. I happen to have an 8gb that has an image put on to it that magically appeared from the "demon" that has TONS of tools that we listed here and many more. I'm in the process of taking what was shown in today's episode and what is on this image to be able to do a massive key with most of the general repair, recover, restore tools along with BT3 (persistent), BT4 (persistent), Mint7 (persistent and install), WinXP installer, Win7 32bit & 64bit installers, Server 2003 and 2008 installers. Just to give you guys an idea how this one was setup, here is the menu.lst from the image... ¤¤Clip¤¤ What Bootloader are you using? Im guessing grub2 cause your booting iso's?

scifijunkie Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 yea that could work but that does not help me with the FAT: utf8 is not a recommended IO for FAT Filesystems, Filesystem will be case sensitive error that clonezilla and gparted keeps giving me... plus the WinSetupFromUSB_0-2-3 make it easy to get the windows setups to work...

H@L0_F00 Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 What I've found about such error deals with ASCII characters in filenames. Try and see if you've got any filenames that could contain any ASCII characters, rename them, and see if that stops the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scifijunkie Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 do you mean I need to check each file in my clonezilla and gparted folders for the for that ASCII characters filenames then rename them??? I don't really want to do that so I will see if mounting the iso will work... thank you for your help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H@L0_F00 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Does it go on a continuous loop about the file system being case sensitive? If so, and you're running Windows 7, it looks like it could be Windows 7 causing the problem. Mine does the same thing with GParted, and so does my cousins. I haven't been able to find out why it does this yet but I'll continue googling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scifijunkie Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 yes it does but it does it when it trys to look at the multipass as a drive and it is FAT32...

scifijunkie Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I just now try boot it using the ISO and is still does the same thing... I really want to get it going on my multipass.

BCPaladin Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 OK, I formatted my OCZ Diesel 16GB to fat 32, ran the grubinst_GUI, copied grldr from grub4dos 0.4.4, extracted or copied my ISO's, and created my menu.lst file according to what I've read in the now 20 pages of this topic. It was fun, I enjoyed myself. Unfortunately, when I try to boot to it I get some error about a PXE stack? Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zac_haryy Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 PXE is booting something through your network and it would get the pxe info from a pxe server (i believe this is correct)...so basically you have your computer to boot from network (PXE) mode and not USB mode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
