When I copy the project to my USB device using GrubInstall, it gives me a 5 second countdown saying "Press space to boot previous MBR, any other key to start grub." Is there any way to avoid this countdown? I just want it to go directly to the next menu that comes up (choice of Win7PE, Memtest, etc.). Changing the Timeout on the Copy to USB-Device page doesn't change this... that must be another timeout.

Thanks!

I think this is a setting in grubinst - try RMPrepUSB and the Install grub4dos button...

Oh, I think I understand now. RMPrepUSB is a utility used to make a USB drive bootable. I'll take a look.

When running the "Copy to USB-Device" script, after formatting the flash drive, it will launch grubinst_gui.exe automatically. The window title will be "Grub4Dos Installer."

If you check the boxes "No backup MBR", "Disable PrevMBR" and type 0 into the "timeout" box... then your USB stick will not have that 5 wait.
