Hi, a few quick questions - I've prepared a bootable SDHC card using USB_FORMAT and then added to bootmgr WinPE stubs by Bootice.
It boots fine to these environments with some limitations which I'd wish to resolve:
- If the card is plugged into regular USB socket via adapter, the multi-boot is made, but if plugged into built-in laptop SD reader, the boot stucks. I've verified in BIOS that in boot order USB device precedes HDD and BIOS sees the SDcard. Would the "Allow fixed USB drive" option remove this limitation?
- not bootable to Parted Magic. As I notice there's pre-created folder /iso/pmagic/, but simply copying pmagic_XXXX_XX_XX.iso there doesn't make it appear in the submenu of "Portable Linux Distro", should the ISO be placed to different location, or registered explicitly into grub config files?
- can't fit Windows 11 install media. As USB_FORMAT forces FAT32 filesystem, it can't fit files above 4GB. How could I change the format to exFAT/NTFS if acceptable, or perhaps extract the install.esd stub (<4GB) from ISO and make it bootable directly?
- why USB_FORMAT doesnot allow Add VHD to Boot Manager option, can I add it ex-post?
