H@L0_F00 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 The command that generates the error is printed above the error code and description; what is the command? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t94xr Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 The command that generates the error is printed above the error code and description; what is the command?

H@L0_F00 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 All of the ones in the list that don't work generate that error. There should be a line above the error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t94xr Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 There should be a line above the error. nop nothing thats the top of the screen, then it says Press Any Key to Continue... Also i tried title Hirens 9.9 ISO find --set-root (hd6,0)/boot/iso/Hirens.BootCD.9.9.iso map (hd6,0)/boot/iso/Hirens.BootCD.9.9.iso (0xff) map --hook rootnoverify (0xff) also without the (hd6,0) and that gives me a Error 15: File Not Found...

H@L0_F00 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Alright, I looked over your code again and it looks like you're not chainloading some of them. On the ones that you are chainloading but still don't work, try adding "+1" directly after the virtual drive, so it would look something like "(hd32)+1" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H@L0_F00 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Yes, that should boot just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t94xr Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 ERROR 11: Unrecognized Device String I can't for Ubuntu 9.10 with Grub2! :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H@L0_F00 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I didn't know we were talking about Grub2 here, which I've never used. Check here for mounting loopbacks in Grub2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t94xr Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 we're not - just booting ISOs is apparently much easier in Grub2. This is grub1 - not grub2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H@L0_F00 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 GRUB4DOS, or GRUB? All ISOs have booted fine for me in GRUB4DOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t94xr Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 grub, as in the grub thats installed with ubuntu 9.04 on /dev/sdg1 (hd6) - not grub4dos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netshroud Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 GRUB does not support ISO booting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eteris Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I didn't know that you could boot Hiren's from ISO - when you try to run a program it cannot find it. Hence the HBCD folder at the root of my USB from an extracted ISO. Am I missing something :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
