MicroXP & tiny core dualboot

<< < (3/4) > >>

Dualityonme:
SORRY FOR NT-related! So i got MicroXP working 8) (OH MY GOD IT WAS INTENSIVELY HARD) using WinSetupFromUsb on WIndows hostwith options 'format as NTFS','install NTLDR'(but shows grub4dos screen with 2-part installation) ,and i need advice  on dualbooting with tc. Is EasyBCD appropriate for making dualboot possible(tc might use syslinux or grub).,if yes,what further hints you can give me.

--- Code: ---menu.lst:


#graphicsmode 0x6A
graphicsmode -1 640 480:800 24:32 || graphicsmode -1
## Menu AutoNumber
write 0x8274 0x2001
 
#graphicsmode -1 800:640 -1 24:32 || graphicsmode -1
#font /unifont.hex.gz
 
 
#clear mappings and set root in case we return from bootmgr
map --unmap=0:0xff
map --unhook
map --rehook
ls /usbdrive.tag > nul || find --set-root --devices=hf /usbdrive.tag > nul
ls /default > nul && default /default
 
 
 
title Windows XP/2000/2003 Setup
map --unmap=0:0xff
map --unhook && map --rehook
savedefault
ls /usbdrive.tag > nul || find --set-root --devices=hf /usbdrive.tag
configfile /winsetup.lst
 > nul || find --set-root --devices=hf /usbdrive.tag > nul
ls /default > nul && default /default
 
 
 
title Windows XP/2000/2003 Setup
map --unmap=0:0xff
map --unhook && map --rehook
savedefault
ls /usbdrive.tag > nul || find --set-root --devices=hf /usbdrive.tag
configfile /winsetup.lst




ls /mnt/sdc1
grldr menu.lst plpbt.bin...

--- End code ---
grub4dos conf to boot MicroXP:


--- Code: ---map --unmap=0:0xff
map --unhook && map --rehook
savedefault
ls /usbdrive.tag > nul :: find --set-root --devices=hf /usbdrive.tag
configure /winsetup.lst

--- End code ---

All that is too much effort..  Learn to use grub2 which can detect then boot Windows and Linux from their separate partitions

Dualityonme:
you mean chainloading windows with grub2?

coreplayer2:
Yes it's really easy

PLEASE DON'T DELETE THIS,IT MIGHT WORK FOR OTHERS WHO HAS SUCH NEED!
I did not use GRUB2,instead i used non-sleek WIndows's boot.ini method according to these guides http://www.highlandsun.com/hyc/linuxboot.html, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/suse-opensuse-60/boot-linux-suse-using-boot-ini-from-windows-xp-244728/, and it WORKS! :)
