Thanks in advance Dear group members and Killerdog, though this thread is a bit older I am deeply interested in your setup. Yesterday I tried to boot my old PC -- Elitegroup K7S5A with AMIbios - by an old 1GB thumbdrive UFD....Took me 2 hours to get it working! No matter what I did. SincerelyPR. RenameUSBDrive. This guide is primarily for external drives such as USB hard drives, USB flash drives, and flash memory cards.

You can label internal disks, but to change their mount points, use MoveMountpointHowto which uses the file called Fstab. This guide covers editing partition labels (disk names) for FAT16/FAT32, NTFS, ext2/ext3, JFS, ReiserFS, and XFS filesystems. External Hard Drive with Grub, Ubuntu and Live Ubuntu. Hey folks,I have an external hard drive, wanted to create something like a "ubuntu live usb"-partition.

I found some solutions in the web, but i actually want to access "ubuntu live" via a grub entry, since i also want to install a working ubuntu version on that hard disk (and to be ambitious, i wanted to install also a win 7 recovery option, but this is not that important). I have a partition table with MBR and the following partitions:sdb1 420 GB NTFS, primary sdb2 5 GB Ext4, primary boot sdb3 25 GB NTFS, primary sdb4 50 GB Ext4, primaryI tried to do it with the "Startup Disk Creator", but he does not recognize the partitions (and i put the "boot"-flag to sdb2 with GParted). So my first question is, is there a way to put a live ubuntu on sdb2, a recovery windows on sdb3 and a running ubuntu on sdb4? I did not find any answers to that, so I thought about the option of placing an ubuntu iso file in a ubuntu version on sdb4, and creating a grub entry pointing to that iso.

Boot Error 17 after successful installation (Page 1) / Installation / ArchBang Forums. Here is the result of the bootscript.

Boot Info Script 0.60 from 17 May 2011 ============================= Boot Info Summary: =============================== => Grub2 (v1.99) is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks at sector 1 of the same hard drive for core.img. core.img is at this location and looks for (,msdos5)/boot/grub on this drive. => Grub Legacy (v0.97) is installed in the MBR of /dev/sdb and looks on the same drive in partition #1 for /boot/grub/stage2 and /boot/grub/menu.lst.

HowTo: Revert from grub2 to Legacy Grub. - Page 6. Hi kansasnoob.Actually I've done SO MANY things for the past 2 weeks just making my dual boot work.

The whole description is in the link below. Starting from post #5, it's all regarding my notebook up to page 6. I think some of your future requests (if ever) are detailed in there already because I've done many experiments. Please try to visit that link.I've dedicated one hard disk for this, so any request from you I am willing to do, especially if it's a new experiment. I've spent restless nights, nevertheless, I'm still willing to solve the problem. View topic - Unable to boot Windows 7 from Grub-1.99-r2. Hi, I've tried migrating to Grub 2, and except not seeing any functional improvements what-so-ever, I can't get the Windows 7 partition to boot.

OS-proper seems to do the job, but Windows just refuses to boot. It does work by changing the boot setup in BIOS, so there does not seem to be anything wrong with the Windows MBR. My disks are set up as (sorry about the Swedish): UsingUUID. Linux now prefers to use UUID (Universally Unique Identifier), LABEL, or symlinks to identify media storage devices on a system.

Directly using /dev/hd*# or /dev/sd*# is no longer preferred since these device assignments can change between system boots: all filesystems should be specified by UUID=<id> or LABEL=<name> for each partition. all physical devices should be specified by a symlink, like /dev/cdrom for a cd drive and /dev/disk/by-id/... for each physical hard drive.

The files for which UUID is most critical: /boot/grub/menu.lst /etc/fstab /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume This page uses the terminal a lot, so if you are new to this, see UsingTheTerminal. The Fstab page provides some excellent examples of UUID in action. UUIDs can be determined using the blkid command. Here are examples (your output will be different, but similarly formatted). Sudo blkid produces an output similar to: Alternatively you can list them from their listing in your root filesystem: [SOLVED] grub: Error 15 File not found... when file present.
