jaceh14 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 hey all, first post. obviously, i'm trying to create the USB multipass, and i think that the problem i'm having is with PeToUSB. when i try to use it, it gives me an error when 50% done saying "FormatEx Error[11]: An Error Occurred Formatting the Drive." i'm using a 32 gig SanDisk Cruizer, not quite sure if this is the problem or not, but darren said he used a 16 gig, so i would think that the 32 gig would work. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks jace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netshroud Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 When you get that message, close PeToUSB and format the 32GB partition as FAT32. Proceed with Grubinst_GUI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaceh14 Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 i did this, installed grubinst_gui and put the glrdr file from grub4dos on the drive. when i reboot to test the drive i get the message try hd(0,0): FAT32. any ideas??? jace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netshroud Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 You should get that message, then the GRUB4DOS menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaceh14 Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 the menu does pop up, but it comes and goes pretty quick. if i press up or down, it stays (because it doesn't stay idle). the list reads: find /menu.lst, /boot/grub/menu.lst, /grub/menu.lst commandline reboot halt with the first option being the primary option. when it accepts that option, it tries to find those files, then gives up and boots to my grub on my pc. thanks for the help my menu.lst is as follows: title BackTrack3 root (hd0,0) kernel /bootbt3/vmlinuz vga=0x317 ramdisk_size=6666 root=/dev/ram0 rw quiet initrd=/bootbt3/initrd.gz boot title Kon-Boot map --mem /Bootable_1.44M.img (fd0) map --hook chainloader (fd0)+1 map (hd1) (hd0) map --hook rootnoverify (fd0) jace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaceh14 Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 **UPDATE** figured out the problem. when i made my menu.lst file, windows for some reason made it as a .txt file named menu.lst.txt. thanks for all the help, psychosis. i appreciate the time you took to help me out :) jace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
