I have made a couple of bootalbe CD's that are booting from a DOS thumb drive using grub and they have been working well. But the MS ERD Commander starts to boot up and shows the Windows logo, then goes into a nasty blue screen. I can't seem to figure this one out. Any sugestions?

Menu.lst
title ERD Commander
fallback 3
find --set-root --ignore-floppies /erdc.iso
map --mem /erdc.iso (hd32)
map --hook
root (hd32)
chainloader ()
avedefault --wait=2

Config.sys
DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS /TESTMEM:OFF
DEVICEHIGH=IFSHLP.SYS
device=grub.exe
BUFFERS=13,0
FILES=15
LASTDRIVE=Z
FCBS=4,0
DOS=HIGH,UMB
STACKS=9,216

That (this) is grub4dos, not GRUB.

Which version of ERD commander?

Which is the ERROR NUMBER you are getting? (Like "STOP ERROR 0x0000007b")

Try these:

title ERD Commander direct

find --set-root /erdc.iso

map --mem /erdc.iso (hd32)

map --hook

root (hd32)

chainloader /I386/SETUPLDR.BIN

title ERD Commander direct

find --set-root /erdc.iso

map --mem /erdc.iso (0xFF)

map --hook

root (0XFF)

chainloader /I386/SETUPLDR.BIN

Check that you have a SETUPLDR.BIN in \I386 directory, and check the CaSe Of ThE FiLeNaMeS.

The above (and the line you tried) won't work if the .iso is a "plain" .iso (i.e. it is not RAMDISK booting a .img or .iso inside the .iso)

Which exact version of grub4dos are you using?

Get LATEST from here:
http://nufans.net/grub4dos/

Extract from the ERD.iso:
SETUPLDR.BIN
NTDETECT.COM
and put them in the root of your stick.

Add a file WINNT.SIF with these contents:

[SetupData]

BootDevice = "ramdisk(0)"

OsLoadOptions = "/noguiboot /fastdetect /rdexportascd /rdpath=ERD.iso"

Try this menu.lst entry:

title ERD Commander direct

find --set-root /erdc.iso

chainloader /SETUPLDR.BIN

grub4dos is booting up into a DOS ENV for BIOS flash capability. Then I try and lauch the ISO's which will then, I hope, boot there own OS. I have not read the links you provided by I did try adding that one line chainloader /I386/SETUPLDR.BIN, and still get a Blue Screen, and the error you suggested 7B is the exact same one.

DO EVERYTHING suggested, in the order it was suggested, as said:

In the previous post there are THREE questions (you can tell they are questions by the fact that besides them there is a small hook sign, which we call "question mark" ), for now you provided one answer only:

Which is the ERROR NUMBER you are getting? (Like "STOP ERROR 0x0000007b")

...still get a Blue Screen, and the error you suggested 7B is the exact same one.

What about the other two?
