[SOLVED] boot mandriva one from usb memory

djmarian · 12-13-2009, 02:15 PM

hi,

i am trying to boot the new mandriva from usb
i have used bootmyiso.exe in windows xp
here is the script written in "menu.lst":

title Test ISO
find --set-root /mandriva.iso
map /mandriva.iso (hd32)
map --hook
root (hd32)
chainloader (hd32)

it tells me something about sectors, that " map --hook" is the default and it is supposed to search the sector, and that i may need to write the sector

how do i find the sector or how do i test mandriva another way???????????

Look on the mirrors under iso/ for example: ftp://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.mandri...cial/iso/2010/

Read the README-iso.txt and see the mandriva-seed-windows.zip for a Windows gui program to install the iso to flash drive.

Btw, there is also mandriva-seed.sh for Linux platforms, at the same place.
