Topic: Grub4dos Nightmare

Hello
I am trying to boot the Gparted ISO from UFD with Grub4dos with no luck,
even Cmdr's ISO and Grub4dos commands does not work for me.
It starts to boot ok but then gets stuck in an endless loop,
trying to mount a drive or something prompting lines NTFS related.

Please advise

Amir

Re: Grub4dos Nightmare

Hello Amir,

obviously "live" script within "initrd1.img" doesn't find the ISO image ... and the contained necessary "filesystem.squashfs". Note, that my changes within "live" have NOT YET been integrated into official actual releases of "GParted Live". What you describe is normal for them : you can't use them by launching the ISO image with Grub4DOS.  My modified "gparted-live-0.4.5-3test.iso" expects, that the ISO file is located in directory "/gparted_iso" of a mountable, but not yet mounted (!) , accessible drive. Or as an alternative, you map the ISO image (but do NOT chainload it) and invoke kernel and initrd with its parameters and add "live-media=iso=/some/where/gparted-live ...iso" , "toram=filesystem.squashfs".  Be sure, that drive with folders "/some/where" is not mounted.
