Webhostbudd Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Anyone know why grub won't look at my flash drive when looking for boot files. For some reason it looks at the main hard drive on the pc so I can't boot anything on the hard drive. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digip Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 When I used grub(grub4dos) I format my usb key as bootable(hp usb format tool with boot options), point to some win98 dos files to boot from, then its set to copy anything to the drive, like grub and linux, etc. Here is what I think I used to have for bt4 # This is a sample menu.lst file.
