Hi noderscore,

...live-media-path=/gparted-live-0.6.2-2...

omit the slash (/)and try again.

Regards

hey thanks alot...
what i did was run multibootiso and copy the menu.lst from there

title gparted (Partition Tools)

find --set-root /gparted/live/initrd.img

kernel /gparted/live/vmlinuz live-media-path=gparted/live boot=live i915.modeset=0 xforcevesa radeon.modeset=0 noswap nomodeset noprompt vga=788 ip=frommedia  nosplash

initrd /gparted/live/initrd.img

i see the obvious mistake by omitting the /
so i expect it would of worked
thanks again
