Grub4dos Iso

 Posted admin

Grub: boot from ISO. If possible, menu entries will probably look a lot like Grub4DOS, though I think the 'map --hook' command is a Grub4DOS enhancement.

  1. Grub4dos Installer

Bootable media builder of Acronis True Image and Acronis Disk Director cannot create multiproduct bootable media. Our development is working on implementing this feature. As workaround you can use grub4dos.

  • Install Grub4Dos to your Hard Disk. Grub4dos it is a versatile bootloader capable of dual/multi-booting DOS, Windows, Linux and other operating systems. Systems are available.It is one of the most common bootloader used to boot USB Drives.It has many features such as iso emulation,memory mapping etc.The full list of features and a.
  • Grub4dos (0.4.5c) can read files on a CD/DVD ISO 9660 CDFS filesystem and the RockRidge filesystem, but not the Joliet filesystem - thus CDs/DVDs or ISOs that are prepared with no RockRidge extensions will only be read by grub4dos as ISO 9660 standard (filenames will be 8.3). Note: Grub4dos 0.4.6a can read Joliet ISOs (but it is in Alpha status).

This solution will work for BIOS machines only. The media will boot in BIOS/Legacy BIOS/CSM mode and will not work if your computer is using UEFI.

How to check whether your computer is using BIOS or UEFI:

In Windows 8/8.1/10: Start -> Search -> msinfo32.exe
If your computer is using BIOS, you will see BIOS Mode: Legacy. This solution will work on your machine.
If your computer is using UEFI, you will see BIOS Mode: UEFI. This solution will not work on your machine.

In Windows 7 or earlier:

  1. Open Windows Explorer.
  2. Navigate to C:WindowsPanther
  3. Find setupact.log.
  4. Right-click the file, select Open.
  5. Search for Detected Boot Environment.
    If your computer is using BIOS, you will see: Callback_BootEnvironmentDetect: Detected boot environment: BIOS. This solution will work on your machine.
    If your computer is using UEFI, you will see: Callback_BootEnvironmentDetect: Detected boot environment: UEFI. This solution will not work on your machine.

Setting up multiproduct boot

  1. Copy the ISO files to the flash drive if you haven't done it yet. Now you should have 3 files on the drive:
  2. Open Notepad.
  3. Insert this content:
    timeout 10
    default 0
    title Acronis Disk Director
    map --mem --heads=0 --sectors-per-track=0 (hd0,0)/<DiskDirector>.iso (hd32)
    map --hook
    chainloader (hd32)
    boot
    title Acronis True Image
    map --mem --heads=0 --sectors-per-track=0 (hd0,0)/<TrueImage>.iso (hd32)
    map --hook
    chainloader (hd32)
    boot
    title CommandLine
    commandline
    title Reboot
    reboot
    title Halt
    halt

where <DiskDirector> is the name of the ISO file created in Acronis Disk Director and <TrueImage> is the ISO file created with Acronis True Image.

4. Save the file as menu.lst to the root directory of your flash drive. In Save as type select All files, otherwise the file might be saved as a .txt-file while we need a .lst-file.

You can double-check the file extention in Windows Explorer:

Now your USB drive is ready and you can boot your computer with it.
