I want such a bootable disk - China DOS Union Forum - China DOS Union

I want to make a 1.44m floppy boot disk by myself, and when booting, a menu can appear, as follows:

1. Boot from Disk0 -- winme
2. Boot from Disk1 -- win2003
3. Boot from Disk2 -- winxp
4. Boot from CD-ROM
5. Boot from Floppy
6. Boot from usb
7. reboot

I have three hard drives with systems installed!
It's annoying to set up from the motherboard every time!!

Experts, help!!

How to do it with grub4dos!
I just want the boot disk as required above, which kind-hearted person can make one for me!

I installed Windows ME on the first partition of the first hard drive,
Windows 2003 on the second partition; dual-boot with the previous one.
The second one is only used as a data disk
Recently, another one has been added, and Windows XP SP2 is made on its own C: drive,
placed on the master of ide2,
I have a floppy disk, boot from the hard drive to enter the dual system,
I just want to add an option to boot from the floppy disk to enter XP

How to do it?

Finally, I managed to boot XP2 from disk2
title Boot from the 3nd Hard Disk
root (hd2,0)
map (hd2) (hd0)
map (hd0) (hd2)
makeactive
chainloader +1

How to boot from the USB flash drive??? Through booting the USB flash drive's win98 from the floppy disk, my motherboard doesn't support USB boot
Experts help me

Can't we not use grub? Is there a simpler method? For example, configure in config.sys. Please tell experts.

That must require software support!

How to use grub4dos? Please help me make one ^_^

He himself brings help!

GRUB is really useful. Just read the readme file inside from start to finish, isn't that enough?

The config.sys cannot select to boot multiple operating systems, it can only be the configuration before entering the DOS system. Currently, using GRUB is the most convenient and flexible.

It is suggested to install a virtual PC, and you can play with any different operating systems at will~ : )

Just modify your BOOT.INI.

Add a few items by yourself.
For example:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows 2003 l" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

Floppy disk 1.44m boot disk generally doesn't have the BOOT.INI file, right!

Is there really no way to meet my request?
