Windows XP ve benzerleri normal disk (REMOVABLE,FIXED),ortamından çalıştığında hata vermektedir.
Tavsiyem livexp gibi bir livesistem üzerinden bir program vasıtasıyla kurulum yapmandır.

AeroStuido programını usbden çalıştırmak için;

AeroStudio'da menünü tasarladıktan sonra boş bir klasör göstererek, iso dosyanı oluştur. Ismi mesala AERO.ISO olsun
Flash diskine grub4dos kur.
AERA.ISO dosyasının içerisine herangibi bir şey ekleme. Gerekli dosyaları usb diskine direkt koy.
Daha sonra usb diskine koyduğun AERO.ISO dosyasını grub4dos ile çalıştır...

ls /AERO.ISO || find --set-root /AERO.ISO

map /AERO.ISO (0xff) || map --mem /AERO.ISO (0xff)

map --hook

root(hd0,0)

chainloader (0xff)

When you try to use Windows XP (and similar) on normal disk (REMOVABLE,FIXED) environment, they give errors.
I recommend to use a livesystem like livexp to setup (windows xp)

http://www.boot-land...?showtopic=7721

After you finish design of your AeroStudio menu, target and empty folder and create your iso (ex: AERO.ISO)
Set your ufd (Usb Flash Disk) bootable with grub4dos.
Do not add any extra thing inside AERO.ISO. Directly copy related files to your ufd.
Later boot your ufd and select AERO on your grub4dos menu

ls /AERO.ISO || find --set-root /AERO.ISO

map /AERO.ISO (0xff) || map --mem /AERO.ISO (0xff)

map --hook

root(hd0,0)

chainloader (0xff)

boot

Hello
I have a problem with booting from hdd. Boot from hdd icon of my aero studio menu that I posted above does not work well if windows 7 is installed on computer (and maybe also on Vista. I have not tested yet). When the menu boots and I want to quit from it and start windows as usual, it sais "Missing Operating System". So you have to take out dvd if want to boot from hdd and thats very uncomfortable
But this does not happen with xp, it starts booting. Another thing is that when I make iso without any files, just aero menu, it loads windows 7 from hdd. When I add all the files needed it only works if xp is on hard drive.
I tried almost every command found here on forums but nothing helped.
I'm noob in grub and any other commands, so can you suggest a command that may help?
Thx in advance

merhaba
hdd den boot etmede sorunum var. Yukarda postaladigim auro menusu eger bilgisayarda windows7 kurulu ise pek duzgun calismiyor. (belki vistada da, test etmedim). Menu acildiginda (boots) ve cikip windows u acmak istedigimde (--> yani menuyu acip, sonra menuyu kapatip windows acilisina donme olayi) ekranda "Missing Operating System" cikiyor. Be sebeble hdd den acmak icin cd yi cikarmak gerekiyor ve bu da pek guzel olmyuor.
Ama bu xp de olmuyor, ve aciliyor. Bas birsey de iso you dosyasiz yaptiginda (sadece aero menusu) windows7 yi hdden yukluyor. iso you dosyalari ekleyip olusturdugumda diskte ancak xp varsa calisiyor.
Bulabildigim tum komutlari denedim ama olmadi.
Grub ve diger komutlar konusularinda cok yeniyim, yardimi olabilecek tavsiye edebilecegin bir komut var mi?
Simdiden tesekkuler.

Merhaba, tercüme için teşekkür ederim dostum.

@Koala

Aşağıdaki komutu denedin mi acaba?

grub4dos chainloader (hd0)+1; rootnoverify (hd0)

boot

Veyahut;

chainloader (hd0)+1

rootnoverify (hd0)

Uzun zaman önce yukarıdaki komutu, win7 yüklü sistemde denemiştim. Herangi bir sorun çıkmamıştı.
Kolay gelsin...

@ Blue Life
Nothing changed the first code works but only for image made by aero studio (that has "airboot" folder inside). When I extract "airboot" to "cd_root" directory and make multiboot dvd with "bl_uis.exe" it gives me same error for win7.
I think something is wrong with multiboot dvd image, size matters or other

[Blue Life]

@Koala

1-After your design finishes with Aero Studio, arrange an empty folder for "Deploy Menus - Step2 - Source Files Box" and create iso
2-Open iso file with UltraISO
3-Add files
4-Save iso file and test...

The following command works for me

grub4dos chainloader (hd0)+1; rootnoverify (hd0)

boot

Sorry for my bad English...

[Koala]

I did so, but this ultra iso stops responding when I add files :| Than I tried Magic iso. Made image with aero (with empty folder in deploy box) and added all other files. Result: boot from hdd works all others (install xp, 7 and so on) stopped working
strange...

[Koala]

Finally everything works!
Instead of magic iso or ultraiso, used "mkisofs - makeiso.cmd" Looks like these programs did something wrong.

@Blue Life
great thanks for help

[Blue Life]

Files have been updated
======================
Edit => Tools\Mkisofs - MakeISO.CMD
Edit => Cmd Templates
Edit => BL_UIS.EXE
Change => CD_ROOT => ISO_ROOT

Good luck...

It is very good if you upload chaned files instead of uploading all files together.
it is difficult for many of us downloading about 25MB
Update pack can be few kb and more confortable by names of update_01,
update_02

by my exprements,aerostudio works fine by new computers,but in old computers
and mostly with a system by low graphic card or low ram,it fails,and just shows black
screen.
Using 640x480 background ,some times can solve the issue.

shirin zaban

Its a notebook... HP Pavillon... core 2 duo... not that bad... and i guess its not low on ram... maybe memory card....
I'll try to build another time and set just 1 button and 640x480 resolution on everything to see if it works.

thanks for the reply

[Karan Gupta]

[Technotika]

Hi Just thinking about using this to super up my menus but seems it only makes ISO's ??? Can I used it with USB drives?? thanks

[Blue Life]

@Karan Gupta

Sorry for my bad English...

Note:There can be trouble during creation of iso files or after creating iso files with AeroStudio
Sometimes utility is unsuccessfull on creating iso, or after creating iso since "Allow Lower Case" is default selected at "ISO 9660" options cause boot failure of some windows. (Last time my friend experienced such a problem with windows xp setup)
If you have such a problem follow steps:

1-After your design finishes with Aero Studio, arrange an empty folder for "Deploy Menus - Step2 - Source Files Box" and create iso
2-Extract Airboot folder from iso file (winrar, 7zip) . Copy Airboot folder to the .\Tool\ISO_ROOT\ folder of the package (package of the topic)
3-Add the stuff you want to include in your iso file inside .\Tools\ISO_ROOT\ folder
4-use MakeISO.cmd or BL_UIS.exe to create iso

I hope this fixed with further versions and we wont need such fixes.
