Re: Newbie problem with dual boot Windows 2008 / KolibriOS
I think I will stay with things as they are now. I scrambled my computer's boot record a couple times and am afraid to touch it again for a while. Using Grub2, Kolibri boots pretty slowly (I searched the forum and found at least one other person with this problem) but once it loads, everything seems...

Re: Newbie problem with dual boot Windows 2008 / KolibriOS
Something was wrong with my script :x set root = '(hd0,msdos4)' I discovered there can be no spaces between the "=" :roll: However I still have a problem - with qemu, kolibri would boot really quickly. Now, booting normally, it takes about a minute for the counter to reach 100% and a few s...

Re: Newbie problem with dual boot Windows 2008 / KolibriOS
Alright, I managed to get an sda4 using gparted. I booted to grub commandline and ls is showing me (hd0,msdos4) So I changed to insmod part_msdos set root = '(hd0,msdos4)' still not working (same errors), although the first "file not found" has disappeared. If I cannot get this one working...

Re: Newbie problem with dual boot Windows 2008 / KolibriOS
Thank you for the suggestions.. unfortunatly I'm still having problems. I used qemu-img to create a 1gb image file on the same drive as kolibri.img. I mounted it with ImDisk and formatted as FAT32. Then I put a "test.txt" file in the image (the text file just contains "aaa"). I a...

Re: Newbie problem with dual boot Windows 2008 / KolibriOS
Thank you. I set up a shared folder from Windows but unfortunately do not see how to access it in Kolibri.

Re: Newbie problem with dual boot Windows 2008 / KolibriOS
I would still like to find a solution to the dual boot and USB stick problems, but while reading I discovered something else: These are very helpful instructions on how to get KolibriOS running in qemu: http://wiki.kolibrios.org/wiki/Connecting_Kolibrios_to_the_internet_in_Qemu. These work for me, u...

Newbie problem with dual boot Windows 2008 / KolibriOS
Kolibri seems very interesting and I would like to try it out. I use Windows 2008 as primary so decided to try and set up a dual boot. I have set aside a 10 gig partition k:\ and put kolibri.img and "mtldr" on it. Then I used a program called Visual BCD Editor (Win2008 doesn't use boot.ini...
