Booting
SystemRescudeCd and Windows 7 Installation from a USB stick using GRUB2. Assuming that
/dev/sdb1 is an NTFS formated partition mounted under
/mnt/usb:
- Copy the whole content of Windows 7 DVD directly into
/mnt/usb.
- Copy
sysrcd.dat, sysrcd.md5, isolinux/initram.igz and isolinux/rescue64 from SystemRescudeCd ISO image into /mnt/usb/linux.
- Install GRUB2 to the USB stick:
grub-install --no-floppy --root-directory=/mnt/usb /dev/sdb
- Edit
/mnt/usb/boot/grub/grub.cfg, e.g.:
set timeout=5
set default=0
menuentry "System Rescue CD 64bit" {
linux /linux/rescue64 subdir=linux scandelay=1 docache nomodeset
initrd /linux/initram.igz
}
menuentry "Windows 7 Installation" {
ntldr /bootmgr
}
Thanks for the clear instructions. Just make sure that light on the USB stops blinking after those commands! I had a little difficulty on my USB without a l.e.d. light and unplugged the key before it was done transferring, which resulted in the grub2 not being copied correctly. Again thanks, the code worked like a charm.
