So, thanks to the developers at long last I have my tower which I built back and running again. In this way I can neither condemn or praise it. It does the main part of the work automatically with the help of a couple of files for the configuration of the booting system.
I went swimmingly easy! The irony of responding to the survey is that all of them were easy to install, they just did not work for me as to what I was trying to do. A simple way to create a USB multiboot drive including the grub bootloader and the GRUB menuentries for Ubuntu ISO files is to use grub-n-isomultiboot with the shell-script file mk-grub-n-iso. So I followed the instructions and watched the video 3 times and did what it said. I was desparate!įinally, I took notice of Rescatux which at first I didn't even know that I had downloaded. I used Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Chrome Developer, Firefox Developer. I went to every website that would pop-up onto my screen when I entered a query into the search engine. dealing with a Linux based ISO, then chances are it will use GRUB 2.0 or Syslinux. At first, it all went to hell in a handbasket. Unfortunately, HDD/USB and ISO bootloaders are very different beasts.
GRUB BOOTLOADER ISO WINDOWS 10
The problem came from dual booting Windows 10 and Ubuntu 14.04 on two separate drives in the same tower. I watched, I don't know how many videos thinking that I was doing something wrong and the result was the same wasted at least 8 to 10 days seeking to save my data and software. The problem was not just with this app, in fact all but the Rescatux did nothing except frustrate me. I used both the beta and the stable versions with the same result.
GRUB BOOTLOADER ISO INSTALL
I chose to use disc1.iso because I figured FreeBSD memstick.iso would install the FreeBSD bootloader on the stick and remove grub2. I put the USB into the computer and rebooted and it did nothing but run me in circles. I came across here because I got tired of burning countless bootable ISO 9660 images and thus wanted to use GRUB 2 to bootstrap a FreeDOS one for updating the firmware/microcode of Seagate HDDs. I now want to boot the FreeBSD installer from the stick and have disc1.iso on an ext2 partition of the stick. The issue was that I installed the app just as it is described.
