I don't undestrand. With old version of SARDU works fine? If No....the problem is in customizations. I can't support customized versions...

with the old version of SARDU i get same error.

Greets,

Hi Davide!

As i see, you changed chain.c32 option for Win7 back to APPEND boot ntldr=/bootmgr. I don't know why or maybe it was an mistake but it still doesn't work this way.
Either your previous solution APPEND boot ntldr=/bootmgr fs or APPEND fs ntldr=/bootmgr is needed again.

In my tests works fine both Hi Davide!
APPEND boot ntldr=/bootmgr and APPEND boot ntldr=/bootmgr fs

Users have problems with FS final.

Customized version change the structure of BCD and SARDU can not find the parts to change.
I want to control everything

[MiKM]

Can you please tell me your setup of external storage that works with APPEND boot ntldr=/bootmgr correctly?
How many partitions, what partition used by sardu...

I remember you are using an external harddisk but i don't know exactly.


I don't think that this error

Code: Select all

File: \Boot\BCD

Status: 0xc0000225

Info: An error occured while attempting to read the boot configuration data.

is caused by a modified BCD. It means, the BCD file can't be read at the place where it should be.

I did just some testing and divided another usb-stick in 2 partitions. First primary, second logical. sardu on first partition (fat32) installed by 2.0.4 beta4 but it doesn't boot into Win7 installation disc.
2.0.3 final with "fs" option works, even with single partition media.

in my tests works fine

Code: Select all

#Install di Win 7
label Boot from Install Win 7
menu label Boot from Install ^Win 7
MENU INDENT 1
      COM32 /chain.c32
APPEND boot ntldr=/bootmgr

Sorry, i meant your disc configuration or partitioning - not syslinux config.

btw i found out, the boot option of chain.c32 can be added by partition numbers. This works for me, too.

APPEND boot ntldr=/bootmgr fs ---> Works!
APPEND fs ntldr=/bootmgr ---> Works!
APPEND boot ntldr=/bootmgr ---> Doesn't work!

And now:

APPEND boot 1 ntldr=/bootmgr ---> Works!

Partition numbering

0 : MBR (default.)
1-4 : primary partitions
5 and higher : logical partitions

Maybe it helps in this case. But installing sardu in second partition leads into trouble again...

I intall SARDU in thirst partition (30 gb) of one hard disk

[MiKM]

You mean first?

I'll try it later on harddisk. But just on SATA connection. I don't have any external case or something.

SARDU 2.0.4 beta4 + USB HDD + VBox & real computer

1] EXTRA menu works!

2] XP install doesn't work, as I have reported several times here make multi windows installer problem & here 2.0.4 beta[x] problems....

When trying to run XP installation I even get the same error [on SARDU USB disk there is no ISO files in the WINSETUP directory] :

Code: Select all

Booting First part of Windows XP Home setup from partition 0

map --mem (hd0,0)/WINSETUP/XPhSP3.iso (0xff)

Error 15: File not found

3] Windows 7 install also doesn't work, which I reported previously too. This problem has also been reported by gorski & m37r0.

I even get the same error!

Code: Select all

File: \Boot\BCD

Status: 0xc0000225

Info: An error occured while attempting to read the boot configuration data.

Both XP & Win7 install ISO works in VBox. They also work when burned to CD/DVD's & booted in a real computer. Also both installation images worked with older versions of SARDU 2.0.1/2.0.2.

@ Davide

Okay, installed SARDU on hard disk.
First, only one partition (fat32). Then 2 partitions. SARDU always installed at first partition, but same behavior like on usb stick...

Windows 7 InstallDisc doesn't boot:

Code: Select all

File: \Boot\BCD

Status: 0xc0000225

Info: An error occured while attempting to read the boot configuration data.


Maybe APPEND ntldr=/bootmgr fs is the problem in previous releases. By the way, it's not correct syntax. APPEND boot ntldr=/bootmgr is unsafe too, because "APPEND boot" means booting from MBR without additional number. Somehow its working in your setup...

I can't imagine how APPEND fs ntldr=/bootmgr cannot boot into m$ bootmgr (Vista and Seven) even it's a modified BCD. provided that the image works standalone directly on dvd and BCD file is /boot/BCD it should always work, theoretically.

Why don't you try it?
