Hi, i’m trying to do this but i can’t find the menu.lst file. Where would that be?
You have to create menu.lst by yourself.
While saving in notepad give the filename as menu.lst and enclose it with double quotes .Like this “menu.lst”
Holy do-do cakes! Thank you for this tip!
I accomplished this on Vista SP2 Home Premium.
I tested it and it really works!
I was let down when I found out that I could only download and not burn the ISO to the USB.
Also I have a problem burning data on CDs/DVDs on my computer, it can only read data.
There is also a tutorial on the web to install Windows 7 from a USB by Grub4Dos! Amazing!
I think USB/Flash methods are a messiah to computers than to clunky CDs.
Thank you very much!!!
I am glad that you liked my tip.
I agree with you.USB Flash Drives are much better than CD/DVDs
Thanks! This also works for the latest (as of this posting) version of Partition Wizard, 6, too
i keep getting bootmnger not found hmmmm
Can you please post the exact error message that you are getting?
A screenshot would also be helpful.
Thanks very much for this tip. Made life much easier! I can think of lots of useful other ISOs to boot using this method. I guess the menu.lst file can be modified to include as many items as you like.
Thank you very much!!!
Hi, I can’t get this to work. Sorry, not familiar with RMPrepUSB, but using XP/BartPE bootloader option, FAT32, and boot as HDD selected, I get “error grldr failed to copy to drive G: bad file name or number” (G: is my usb stick).
Do I need to select some different options to get this to work?
