Q: UBCD and Grub4Dos on usb stick, multi-boot
Posted: Sat Jan 17, 2009 7:46 pm
Hi all,
I'm trying to put UBCD on a multiboot usb stick, using Grub4Dos (in MBR).
Problem: I can't get it to boot on a multiboot stick, whereas on a 'monoboot' stick it's all working fine.
I used UBCDfix2 to put the UBCD contents on an old 128 MB stick, which boots fine. Then, I copied the partition (using Ghost) to a 2GB stick (with grub4dos), and that one won't boot the UBCD.
I'm using 4 separate partitions (1 = Dos 7, 2 = UBCD, 3 = empty for now and 4 = BartPE). 1 and 4 are booting fine, but not the 2nd.
For testing purposes I also added Grub4dos to the MBR of the small (128 MB) stick, and again, it boots fine. So, using Grub4dos to boot UBCD must somehow be possible ...
Question: Can anyone provide me with the correct commands / lines to put in grub's menu.lst?
fyi: I'd rather not boot the iso file, I'd like to be able to access the files directly from the stick.
Thanks in advance!

Before putting UBCD on the small stick using UBCDfix2, I formatted that stick with the HP flash disk format utility.
