I will do. But first, I would try to run WinSetup from XP and see if it is a Vista-related issue.

I don't see it. Before and after, sector image is exactly the same: grubinst.exe gave me this output: C:\>D:\MULTIBOOT\WinSetupFromUSB\files\grub4dos\grubinst.exe -v --pause (hd1,0) Start sector: 0x3F Image type: NTFS Install mode grubinst: Write error Press <ENTER> to continue ... USB pen is set to "optimize for removal", it was never set to "optimize for perfomance". What do you think ? Does grubinst.exe have a successful output ?

The second one. It is an USB HD used to store some data, but nothing related to WinSetup e co. D:\MULTIBOOT\WinSetupFromUSB\files\grub4dos\grubinst.exe -l (hd1) Partition list # id base leng 0 07 3F F0FFC0 (7712M) D:\MULTIBOOT\WinSetupFromUSB\files\grub4dos\grubinst.exe -l (hd2) grubinst: open: No such file or directory devcon.exe find USB* USB\ROOT_HUB\4&1273BA28&0 : Hub radice USB USB\ROOT_HUB\4&1961C18&0 : Hub radice USB USB\ROOT_HUB\4&254C9F50&0 : Hub radice USB USB\ROOT_HUB\4&27C19DAC&0 : Hub radice USB USB\ROOT_HUB\4&31740A99&0 : Hub radice USB USB\ROOT_HUB20\4&25E7C816&1 : Hub radice USB USB\ROOT_HUB20\4&EC6843D&2 : Hub radice USB USB\VID_04F2&PID_B015\SN0001 : Dispositivo USB composito USB\VID_04F2&PID_B015&MI_00\6&1FAFCD28&0&0000 : HP Webcam USB\VID_1307&PID_0163\071111E7B86755 : Dispositivo di archiviazione di massa USB USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_UT163&PROD_USB2FLASHSTORAGE&REV_0.00\071111E7B86755&0: Ut163 USB2FlashStorage USB Device 11 matching device(s) found. However, this afternoon I tried to reformat in fat32 and adding UBCD4Win..it works. So I tried another time with NTFS and bootmgr error.

@ ilko_t Thank you very much ! Latest snapshot works with Vista So I tried to test with Qemu and gave me same error "bootmgr missing". I run WinSetup with admin rights, and there were no other usb devices plugged..

Yes. I only formatted to NTFS and added UBCD4Win contents, nothing else. Just another question: does Qemu test work on Vista ? When I try to run, it gives me an error - event viewer says there was a problem with ntdll.dll - log.zip

Hi, I'm trying to use WinSetupFromUSB to add UBCD4Win to my USB pen (8 GB): set as Removable, NTFS formatted with HP tool. Tested on my laptop (Vista Home Premium 32 bit), it says "Bootmgr is missing. Type CTRL+ALT+CANC to reboot" I'm not so expert, but does not bootmgr refer to Vista bootloader ?
