Topic: How to... Boot Gparted from NTFS volume?

Hello everyonce! Sorry, for my English please.

I'm use GRUB4DOS for boot WindowsXP, memtest, MHDD, Hirens, Acronis and other from NTFS volume. All works well.
But, how i boot Gparted from NTFS volume, i recive The bash coomand line.
If i boot from flash (FAT) the Gparted works well.

My menu.lst for GRUB4DOS:
title 3. Gpart
find --set-root /live/vmlinuz1
kernel /live/vmlinuz1 toram boot=live union=aufs noswap noprompt vga=788 ip=frommedia
initrd /live/initrd1.img

For comparison, this code boot Acronis kernel & initrd:
title 1. Acronis Disk Director Suite
find --set-root /boot/Acronis/dat3.dat
kernel /boot/Acronis/dat3.dat vga=791 ramdisk_size=32768 mbrcrc=on quiet
initrd /boot/Acronis/dat2.dat /S

Acronis works well.

I think, problem in filesystem.squashfs. It can not load with NTFS volume.
How to solve this problem?

Maybe can be combined initrd1.img and filesystem.squashfs. Then GRUB4DOS itself will boot initrd.

thanks

Re: How to... Boot Gparted from NTFS volume?

Hello,
the problem may be, that "filesystem.squashfs" gets shortened to "FILESY~1.SQU" by the OS ! I had this effect with another file, which should be copied on booting. "menu.lst" item is correct as you showed it.
Sorry, but I have no idea, how to cope with that issue.

Bye
