As you might have seen from my other posts, I am converting my CDShell over to Grub4Dos. I know it kind of figures, but I have a new issue I can not figure out.

I am trying to get my BartPE to run.

Here is the original command I had in my CDShell
QUOTE
chain /bootsect.bin


In Grub4Dos, I have tried using "chainloader /bootsect.bin", and it just comes up with the error in the screenshot.

What am I doing wrong, and how can I make just work?

What is "bootsect.bin"?

Is it a "CD no-emulation bootsector"? (A 2048 bytes file)?

Or is it a HD-like bootsector? (A 512 bytes file)?

IN BOTH CASES, you do not use bootsectors to load a BartPE. whistling.gif

Grub4dos has some advantages over other bootloaders, as it can completely bypass ANY bootsector. thumbup.gif

You directly chainload the OS loader. smile.gif

I.e. and this should have been clear enough on the Forums and docs I pointed you to, here are a couple examples:
CODE
title some flavour of BartPE
root (cd)
chainloader /I386/SETUPLDR.BIN


or

CODE
title some flavour of BartPE found
find --set-root /I386/SETUPLDR.BIN
chainloader /I386/SETUPLDR.BIN


Please take note that grub4dos is CaSe SeNsItIvE on CDFS filesystem!
