Easy2boot after boot I have only shortcuts and no application

Hi!

I put  Gandalf’s Windows 10PE x86 into _ISO/MAINMENU

then boot window 10 live,but  I have only shortcuts and no application

seems that iso not loaded automatically into a virtual drive DVD,how to fix that

thanks!

Did you follow the instructions for a PE???

http://www.easy2boot...and-winpe-isos/

From looking at the site, and reference to "theOven", this is most likely a Winbuilder based PE, so follow those instructions.

Ok,I followed the instructions:

I put iso in the root usb  GandalsW10x86.iso

I got WinBuilderPE_ISO.mnu from Sample mnu files/Windows ant put into _ISO/MAINMENU

then rename it to  GandalsW10x86.mnu and edit:

title GandalsW10x86 ISO \n Use for most WinBuilder PE ISOs
set ISO=GandalsW10x86.iso
/%grub%/QRUN.g4b force.iso01 /%ISO%
boot


title GandalsW10x86 ISO + Load ISO as new drive letter \n Use for WinBuilder PE ISOs\n which don't auto-load the ISO as Y:
set ISO=GandalsW10x86.iso
/%grub%/QRUN.g4b force.isope01 /%ISO%
boot

what I have done wrong

Thanks!

It is easiest to convert the ISO to a .imgPTN file.

If you want to boot from an ISO file directly, you will need to add an INI file and use the special .isoWB file extension plus a special .WB file. See http://www.easy2boot...and-winpe-isos/

If you want to run it as an ISO using your .mnu file, rename the .iso file to \WIN10PESE_x64.ISO (for 64-bit version) because that was the original WinBuilder name (if you click on the Yellow triangle on the Gandalf Desktop, it will show you what name it is expecting).

Hi,because it is possible to add multiple iso,I follow this : http://www.easy2boot...and-winpe-isos/

I found the MountPEmedia.ini got the name of ini file

ExternalIniFileName=Win10PESE.ini

[IsoInfo]
IsoName=_ISO/MAINMENU/GandalsW10x86.iso

title GandalsW10x86 ISO \n Use for most WinBuilder PE ISOs
set ISO=GandalsW10x86.iso
/%grub%/QRUN.g4b force.iso01 /%ISO%
boot


title GandalsW10x86 ISO + Load ISO as new drive letter \n Use for WinBuilder PE ISOs\n which don't auto-load the ISO as Y:
set ISO=GandalsW10x86.iso
/%grub%/QRUN.g4b force.isope01 /%ISO%
boot

Are you sure the USB drive is a Removable flash drive? Does the system contain a hard disk and does Win 8 have the correct drivers for the hard disk controller?

The usb is removable media

The iso file is that I've installed my system,it contains drivers for my hdd

I put a newer iso version but the same thing

thanks

Do you see the blue console window before Setup runs? 

What is the exact error message? Do you see this message box or similar about CD\DVD Device driver? If so it suggests that the blue console window did not appear? This can be due to using a non-removable USB drive or perhaps a non-Microsoft ISO,

If it is a 'special' ISO, you should convert it to a .imgPTN file.

Hi! I can see blue console window

iso is a custom build,I converted to imgPT and seems to work but WHEN I BOOT IT ASKS ME TO OVERWITE THE PARTITON  WITH SOME FILES AND I LOST SOME OF THEM (from USB) ....very strange method

Edited by mrapi, 04 January 2016 - 10:04 AM.

When you use a .imgPTN file, it replaces the partition table with a new one.

You can restore the original E2B USB drive contents by booting it and selecting CSM Menu option #0 - or use the \e2b\Switch_E2B.exe utility on the drive to 'restore E2B partitions'.

If you can see the blue console Window when using the ISO, does it say that it has loaded the ISO as drive Y: ??

Are you using the latest version of E2B 1.75 or 1.76Beta? If you see the blue console window and it has mounted the ISO as Y: then Setup should work.

Hi

I'm using Easy2Boot v.1.75.

I'll not use erase method,I'll use rufus to create usb windows setup files 

thanks for your time and answers!

No problem. Rufus is great but it is not multiboot.

Hi,

can someone guide me to instructions on how to have easy2boot put onto a second hard disk (internal) please

thanks in advance.

Not recommended! You will need to explain what disks are in the system and what is on each disk and how they are partitioned.

E2B is really intended for USB drives.
