I use grldr to make the boot of the CD. In menu.lst there is this

title Boot WINPE

find --set-root (cd)/BOOT/SETUPLDR.BIN

chainloader (cd)/BOOT/SETUPLDR.BIN

savedefault --wait=2

After entering, it will prompt

Error 42: The filename should NOT have a DEVICE part

These 4 versions of 11.18, 11.24, 12.1, 12.2 all have this problem, while the 11.11 version can boot normally, and the version in March on my other tool disk is also normal

Could it be that after starting to support emulating CD-ROM, this was given up?

This SETUPLDR.BIN file is the one under WXPE in the MaoTao 911 version PE.

find --set-root (cd)/BOOT/SETUPLDR.BIN

This is originally a wrong usage. The old version doesn't report an error, but the new version does.

In the find command, the new version doesn't allow the device name part to appear, that is, you need to remove (cd).

The find command in your menu is actually useless at all, because there is no omitted device name in your subsequent chainloader statement, so the find command is redundant. It should be like this:

title Boot WINPE Example 1

chainloader (cd)/BOOT/SETUPLDR.BIN

savedefault --wait=2

Or if you need the flexibility brought by find, then it should be like this:

title Boot WINPE Example 2

find --set-root /BOOT/SETUPLDR.BIN

chainloader /BOOT/SETUPLDR.BIN

savedefault --wait=2

Here, the root device determined by find is the first device that contains the /BOOT/SETUPLDR.BIN file it finds, so it is not necessarily the (cd) device.

If you want chainloader to boot the file on (cd), then the former (Example 1) should be used, not the latter (Example 2).

Thanks to Master BuDian for guidance. Is "find --set-root /BOOT/SETUPLDR.BIN" supposed to be finding this file on any disk?

Search for the \boot\setupldr.bin file in any partition.
