SOLVED: Adding Acronis-ISO (50MB!!) to Grub, grub4dos menu.lst entry External links Options

[st-dv]

hello,

I also want to add the 50MB-Acronis-True-Image-ISO to my Vista-Multiboot-DVD.....

My question is: how could the ISO be bootet with grub? I know, that generally you cant boot ISO-Images with grub directly....

But it is a small ISO and I know that with the BCDW it works too ("run: acronis.iso")

It it possible?? Or is there any script to add the Acronis rescue medium to the grubs boot loader??

Thanks,

so in my "Create-ISO"-Script, I added the following lines:


TXTAddLine,"%MenuFile%","map (hd0,1)/acronis.iso (hd32)","Append"
TXTAddLine,"%MenuFile%","map --hook","Append"
TXTAddLine,"%MenuFile%","chainloader (hd32)","Append"
TXTAddLine,"%MenuFile%"," ","Append"

Before this, I copied the ISO-File directly to "%TARGETDIR%" (Root-Folder of the CD)

I think, that the HD0,0-Syntax in your link does only work, if the ISO is on my local HD, or not?

But I think my syntax is not right.... the ISO does not boot...... error message: Selected disk does not exist!

What would be the right syntax in the CREATE-ISO-Script to boot my file "acronis.iso" ???

If it's in root of DVD, you can do it changing (hd0,1) with the DVD/CD (cd) device as:

map (cd)/acronis.iso (hd32)
map --hook
chainloader (hd32)

or, more generally as :

find --set-root /acronis.iso
map /acronis.iso (hd32)
map --hook
chainloader (hd32)

(this latter needs to be tested)

Ahm, no......


with this syntax I got the error I attached:

TXTAddLine,"%MenuFile%","title iso boot","Append"
TXTAddLine,"%MenuFile%","map --mem (cd0)/acronis.iso (hd32)","Append"
TXTAddLine,"%MenuFile%","map --hook","Append"
TXTAddLine,"%MenuFile%","chainloader (hd32)","Append"
TXTAddLine,"%MenuFile%","boot","Append"

also when writing hd0,0 instead of cd0 in line two, I got an error.....

Well, maybe it does not work, but I suggested you

(cd)

and you used:

(cd0)

More generarally BEFORE attempting scripting a menu entry, one should try making it manually, and BEFORE that, one should see by using direct grub4dos commands if the idea and references to devices (using grub4dos auto-completion features) are correct.

Read these:

to have an idea how grub4dos command line mode can be useful.

Thanks,

but with

TXTAddLine,"%MenuFile%","title Acronis","Append"
TXTAddLine,"%MenuFile%","map --mem (cd)/acronis.iso (hd32)","Append"
TXTAddLine,"%MenuFile%","map --hook","Append"
TXTAddLine,"%MenuFile%","chainloader (hd32)","Append"
TXTAddLine,"%MenuFile%","boot","Append"


I get the attached error message...........

That's very strange, ilko_t is VERY accurate in his reports, maybe you have a different version or you are not using the "recovery media ISO" (whatever it is).

P.S.: I see in your other thread:
http://www.boot-land.net/forums/?showtopic=4749

"GRUB4DOS 0.4.3 2007-10-15, Memory: 639k........................................................."

that's a very old version, you should use LATEST one, here:

Oh, thanks........ but how do I integrate the new grub-version to the winbuilder's script?


Do I just have to replace the two files "memtest.bin" and "grldr" in the attachement of the "create-iso-script" ???

Okay,

thank you very very much........... I just replaced the file "grldr" as attachement.......... and with version 2008 the booting of the acronis-iso worked fine.....

Thanks a lot.......
