AGAIN, Grub cannot chainload directly XP, grub4dos can: http://grub4dos.jot.com/WikiHome Alternatively to the method illustrated here, it is possible to insert grub4dos inside Vista bootmanager, QUOTE (grub4dos README) ****************************************************************************** *** Loading GRUB4DOS in Windows Vista *** ****************************************************************************** First, you should copy GRLDR.MBR to C:\, and use the following commands: bcdedit /create /d "Boot Manager" /application bootsector bcdedit /set {id} device boot bcdedit /set {id} path \grldr.mbr bcdedit /displayorder {id} /addlast Then copy GRLDR and menu.lst to the root directory of any FAT16/FAT32/EXT2/NTFS partition. Notice: These commands need elevated privileges, they should be used inside cmd.exe which is started with "Run as administrator". or to chainload the Vista Bootsector. All the above is related to grub4dos, NOT grub. jaclaz This post has been edited by jaclaz: May 29 2007, 02:27 AM |

Thanks, Jaclaz, for clarifying the difference between Grub and Grub4Dos. I have changed my original post to mention Grub4Dos. I just wanted to add on to what you said about adding Grub4Dos to Vista's boot options menu, which is a great tip. I could not use that method, however, because my goal was to obtain Grub4Dos menu first - before Vista's boot options menu. If you add Grub4Dos to Vista's menu and make it the default with a timeout of 0, then you cannot load Vista because of a circular reference - meaning even if you add Vista to your menu.lst, it will keep loading Grub4Dos menu because it is the default! Therefore, I had to rename the files. However, if you don't want Grub4Dos to be your first menu, then Jaclaz's method is a great alternative. |
