My guess would be going South then make a right!

My guess would be going South then make a right!

Incomplete set of instructions , a more accurate one would be :

going South then, on Saturday, make a right!

I have installed BURG with the burgv3.fba file via fbinst (in the hidden 8m section) , I have WinPE on the visible space on the drive. My burg.cfg is on the hidden section of the drive. What is the menu entry needed to boot the bootmgr file for winpe?

Hi Flyboarder,
Can you try the below menu entry and report back?

menuentry "WinPE ISO" {
linux /grub.exe --config-file="ls /winpe.iso || find --set-root --ignore-floppies /winpe.iso;map /winpe.iso (0xff);map --hook;root (0xff);chainloader /BOOTMGR"
}

Here grub.exe, grldr, default these three files are in root.

*/winpe.iso: you may need to change the location/drive based on your orientation.

Quick reminder (if needed):

• PE 1.x based on XP/2003 sources <-WinPE 1.x, BartPE, UBCD4WIN, etc.
• PE 2.x based on Vista /Server 2008 sources <-WinPE 2, VistaPE, etc.
• PE 3.x based on 7/Server 2008R2 sources <-WinPE 3, Win7PE, etc.

"WinPE" <- possibly *any* of the above, for the record the PE 2.x and 3.x should work allright with the menuentry pokemon1 suggested , a PE 1.x won't .

The above menu entry does not work as my files are not located in an iso they are on the root of the visible part of the drive.

And if you don't say this, you will have not an useful answer pokemon1, trying to help you , assumed that you were using one among the possible ways to boot the PE.

However this should have been enough:

*/winpe.iso: you may need to change the location/drive based on your orientation.

to let you simplify the menu entry to:


menuentry "WinPE flat" {
linux /grub.exe --config-file="find --set-root --ignore-floppies /BOOTMGR;chainloader /BOOTMGR"
}
or
menuentry "WinPE flat" {
linux /grub.exe --config-file="find --set-root --ignore-floppies /bootmgr;chainloader /bootmgr"
}

The above are for GRUB2.

BURG can chainload directly BOOTMGR,see here:

Yes, my bad, PE1.x will not work. Thanks for pointing this out.

And yes, I have tested earlier with burg, the syntax Wonko mentioned does work with burg as well.
