Hi all,

I created a bootable usb stick and put the windows 7 setup on it, works fine.

Now I copied UltimateBootCD with ubcd2usb cmd file on the stick. I created a user entry like this:

LABEL win7
MENU LABEL Boot Windows Vista/2008/7 (bootmgr)
COM32 /boot/syslinux/chain.c32
APPEND ntldr=/bootmgr

(this is from icecube a lot of months before)

But if I try to start win7 setup from ubcd it tells me that it is not be able to read /boot/bcd file. But in ubcd 5.0 rc1 it has worked like this. Any hints? What has changed in ubcd 5.02?

Kind regards

In newer versions of Syslinux (chain.c32), the boot sector of the partition is also loaded to memory. So now you have to specify the partition number too:
Code:
LABEL win7
MENU LABEL Boot Windows Vista/2008/7 (bootmgr)
COM32 /boot/syslinux/chain.c32
APPEND boot 1 ntldr=/bootmgr

Code:
LABEL win7
MENU LABEL Boot Windows Vista/2008/7 (bootmgr)
COM32 /boot/syslinux/chain.c32
APPEND hd0,1 ntldr=/bootmgr

The partition number must point to the partition on which the /boot/BCD file is located.
