While this site tends to use GRUB (rather than syslinux), end result is more important. Go to the RMPrepUSB site and pick your "tutorial"...

Please do not use spaces in LABEL directives; spaces in MENU LABEL are fine.

chain.c32's ntldr= argument must point to a file that's available in the same filesystem as Syslinux booted from. So: Does that filesystem have /i386/setupldr.bin in it?

Also: When working with GRUB4DOS or Syslinux and trying to determine the cause of a problem, it can help to remove the menu system and simply use the boot-loader's CLI, entering your commands manually and observing the results. When you use a menu system, you take the chance that you will not observe the results. Please try "commenting-out" your DEFAULT directive and avoid running the 'vesamenu.c32' COMBOOT32 module, just until you understand the nature of the failure. You should get a "boot:" prompt from which you can try your LABELs.

Actually this site :w00t: tends to use grub4dos, which is NOT GRUB (Legacy) and is NOT GRUB2.
Why it is so difficult calling things with their names? :dubbio:
