I made the iso using Grub4Dos with Uni and Multi Processor boot options and my normal method for writing the iso previously, has been to use UltraISO.

Previously, I loaded the LiveXP.iso in UltraISO, took option Bootable > Write Disk Image etc.
After the write and UltraISO was closed, I renamed the i386 folder on the USB flash drive to MININT.

It then was bootable from USB.

Now I am using the WinBuilder 080 "Basic\Build\DefineBootsector" script and the "Finish\1 Optimizations\Multi Processor" script options.

This time, when I write the iso to USB, only the standard Uni processor mode is written to USB drive. While it is still functional, boots and works as normal, I don't get the Grub4Dos boot menu and am not able to choose the boot options.

My question is, what do I use to write the contents of the LiveXP.iso to a USB flash drive and still retain the Grub4Dos menu and full boot functions..? I am assuming that it is possible.

TIA,

Hi Bobxt,

I do not know ultraiso, I guess it copy files to ufd and make arrangements to boot setupldr.bin directly.

you probably need to prepare your ufd manually to boot with grub4dos,
and following your method, this might work on your menu.lst of your grub4dos



check around with google, there are too many tutorials/posts showing how to prepare ufd and grub4dos....

and an advice, make such things using relevant utilities manually (by reading tutorials where available),
automatic arrangements are never trustable and sometimes dangerous for rookies.
Besides there are too many arrangements that can be made too (thanks to Galapo and Nikzzzz),
Everyone, after learning basics can easly and precisely make their prefered arrangements.
Have fun.
