loserpro2 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Hi there. i'm new to the forum and i digested the 5x24 and 6x02 (not too sure about 6x02 but i'm sure i went through the other video) in regards to multipass/multiboot usbs. i have a few questions regarding this as i have been going through a few problems all night and i am stuck like mad. it should also be noted i am a linux noob, but i felt proud to have at least solve a few problems along the way. i have wanted to create a multipass at the moment with at least Hiren's Boot CD and Ubuntu. I have also chosen to include Ultimate Boot CD and GParted as well for times when i will need it - most likely installing OSX86, which is like rarely. However, the biggest problems right now i have are these: 1) Hiren's Boot CD version 10.1 In terms of booting this, i have managed to sucessfully boot it to the menu selection screen along with entering into the sub menus to choose the sub items. however, there are particular items that i am unable to start up, and i see that they somehow have an asterisk/star behind the name of the program. when i try to load it, it will end up saying "HBCD is not found" and so on. I was thinking, i am booting from HBCD so how can it somehow end up not finding it? is there a solution for this? 2) Linux based Ubuntu and GParted In regards of these two programs, i end up having Kernal Panic and can not continue to load or do anything after the program gets stuck. i do not know the reason why this is happening. it feels very weird to me - or that i am used to using unetbootin for making USB bootable Ubuntu systems. I can post a printscreen if it helps in understanding the problem. I have continously tested on VMware with the USB VM tester and only managed to solve problems for Ultimate Boot CD although i have never loaded the programs inside. Here is some other info, which i am not sure if it helps: Computer Spec/Info: Lenovo Thinkpad X200 (1st Gen) with 3GB ram and 160gb hdd with Vista Home Premium. USB selected for task: Sandisk Cruzer 4GB - New version which does not come with U3 system. Programs used in process (Not in order): Ubuntu 9.10 and 9.04 (LiveCD) iso Gparted Version 0.4.4 (although i just realised my menu says 4.3-2, typo = =) Hiren's Boot CD version 10.1 Ultimate Boot CD forgot which version menu.lst for your information: splashimage /bgimage/yourimage.xpm.gz color yellow/blue white/black timeout 120 title Hiren’s Boot CD ver 10.1 kernel /memdisk initrd /HBCD/WinTools/boot.gz title Ultimate Boot CD For Windows map (hd0,0)/ubcd.iso (hd32) map --hook chainloader (hd32) boot title Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop find --set-root /ubuntu904.iso map /ubuntu904.iso (0xff) map --hook root (0xff) kernel /casper/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/ubuntu904.iso quiet splash locale=en.UTF-8 --initrd /casper/initrd.gz boot title Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop find --set-root /ubuntu910.iso map /ubuntu910.iso (0xff) map --hook root (0xff) kernel /casper/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/ubuntu910.iso quiet splash locale=en.UTF-8 --initrd /casper/initrd.gz boot title Gparted 0.4.3-2 Partition Editor configfile /gparted_submenu.lst #this is for a space title kernal initrd title Restart The Computer reboot many thanks for your help.

d4rkfe4r Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 If you are using Hirens to remake partitions and you are having issues with it I suggest finding a bootable version of Acronis Disk Director. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d4rkfe4r Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Its based on hardware. I used to have issues using one dvd drive but the other one worked fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loserpro2 Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 i see. but i guess this week is a bad week for me or something, cause when i tried to use Hiren's Boot CD 9.5 Burned onto a cd, that didn't work either. got rather demotivated. its like as if the computers i'm working with are currently taking a dump or sth. =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
