Booting Knoppix from ISO image located on NTFS drive.

[yaleyu]

1. Download GRUB for DOS (http://grub.linuxeden.com/), extract it, copy boot directory to c:\, copy c:\boot\grub\grldr to c:\

2. Download NTFS support (http://s119307663.onlinehome.us/Knoppix382.zip), extract to Knoppix ISO image directory, e.g. c:\KNOPPIX

3. Modify c:\boot.ini as

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
c:\grldr="Starting GRUB, GRand Unified Bootloader"

4. Modify c:\boot\grub\menu.lst as


# Sample boot menu configuration file
#

# Boot automatically after a minute.
timeout 60

# By default, boot the second entry.
default 1

# Fallback to the first entry.
fallback 0

# For booting Linux
title Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
unhide (hd0,0)
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

title Knoppix
kernel (hd0,0)/KNOPPIX/linux ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=us apm=power-off vga=791 nomce quiet bootfrom=/dev/hda1/KNOPPIX/K*.iso config=scan home=scan ramdisk=131072 noprompt
initrd (hd0,0)/KNOPPIX/minirt_ntfs.gz

Note: bootfrom=/dev/hda1/KNOPPIX/K*.iso can be bootfrom=/dev/hda1/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX_V3.9-2005-05-27-EN.iso if you don't care typing so much :D
