Each Win 7 install would be completely independent and self-contained in one primary partition. You want to create a bootable drive that has a hard-coded (unmodifiable) grub4dos menu and needs no grldr or boot menu.lst file. I also need the ability to hide partitions, to maintain that complete independence, so that if I boot up 'test 1' it doesn't assign drive letters for 'production' and 'test 2.' Downstream, I may want to install Win XP, and who knows, Linux or even a 'hackintosh.' But the primary goal is multibooting Win 7 installs.ĭepending on some specific tests, I might want to either hide or unhide my various data partitions. Now rename our weegrldr.bin file to nstmac.mbr (or whatever the name has been set to by EasyBCD) and put the file in a new folder at E:NST so that the bootmgr can find it.
After re installation of dual boot machine GRUB menu disappears sometimes same thing happen after fresh installation of ubuntu ,in this video i have shown th. I could be wrong, but I think the only way to maintain that complete independence is to install an app that is linked to the MBR, and that's why I was interested in grub4DOS.
