My external USB drive won't boot with Grub4Dos
Posted: Sun Apr 16, 2023 2:54 am
I have a 1TB external USB drive (Seagate) which I use as storage medium. It has one big ntfs partition. So I set a boot flag for the partition with Gparted, make a frugal install of Puppy and run the Grub4Dos configuration tool. It installs the bootloader but reports the Puppy as a full install in menu.lst. WHY? It doesn't boot anyway, just hangs on a blank, black screen. On my other machine I get a message "Try NTFS5" BTW - I also have an SD Card. The latter boots, no problems with the same Grub4Dos install.
