Booting Knoppix from ISO image located on NTFS drive.

1. Download GRUB for DOS, extract it, copy boot directory to c:\, copy c:\boot\grub\grldr to c:\

2. Download NTFS support, extract to Knoppix ISO image directory, e.g. c:\KNOPPIX

3. Modify c:\boot.ini as

Code:

[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

Code:

# 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
