Task - simply to create a bootable USB for running grub4dos and some. In the past I used the grubinst-gui.exe and created this bootable version. Frustrated I grabbed Easy2boot and install it directly on my system disk.
Test Your USB Drive (read bottom of the page for troubleshoot)Make sure you set your computer to boot from USB Flash DriveTo Enter the BIOS press the 'Del' button on your keyboard. Alternatives are 'F1', 'F2', 'Insert', and 'F10'.
Some PC's BIOS might even require a different key to be pressed. Commonly a PC will show a message like 'Press Del to enter Setup' to indicate that you need to press the 'Del' key. Some AMI BIOS require you to enable the option 'USB Keyboard Legacy support'!For AMI BIOS:Go to 'Feature Setup'. 'Enable' these options: 'USB Function Support','USB Function For DOS' and 'ThumbDrive for DOS'. Go to 'Advanced Setup'.Set the '1st Boot Device' to 'USB RMD-FDD'.Reboot the PC and it now should boot from the Usb Stick.Go to 'USB Mass Storage Device Configuration'.
Select 'Emulation Type'and set it to 'Harddisk'. Go to the 'Boot Menu' and set the '1st boot device' to 'USB-Stick'. Exit the BIOS, saving the changes.you can try 'Emulation Type' to 'Floppy' or 'Forced FDD'.For PHOENIX/AWARD BIOS:Go to 'Advanced BIOS Features'.
Go to the '1st Boot device' and set it to 'USB-ZIP'.Troubleshoot.
Compiling grub4dos utilities - e.g. wenv, echo1. Download BackTrack 5 ISO and install it to a virtual machine's virtual hard disk (e.g. Windows Virtual PC - set network adapter to Intel 82562V-2 10/100 not NAT).2. Check the browser is working and then in a console window type svn checkout http://grubutils.googlecode.com/svn grubu 3. Use cd to change to the grubutils trunk/src folder and type ./build to build all utilities (all .c files will be compiled add placed in the bin subfolder ). 4. In the Windows Virtual PC Settings menu, enable the Integration features and then in BT5, run Setup from the CD that should now be detected by linux. This will install integration features via WINE. 5. In Dolphin, click on Network and Add Network Folder, enter the name of your host computer - e.g. MyDellc$, enter the username and password and tick Remember password - if the password does not seem to work - just keep hitting OK until it is accepted - it seems to take several attempts! 6. You should now be able to browse to the host computer C: drive (Applications - Wine - Browse C: drive) and drop any compiled utilities (under the root folder) from the virtual machine onto the host machine.
