reactos-bootcd-0.4.15-dev-2916-ga9a22ae-x64-msvc-win-dbg.7z ISO USB boot loader error

Post by Hueristic »

Hi guys, trying to install reactos-bootcd-0.4.15-dev-2916-ga9a22ae-x64-msvc-win-dbg.7z build on a older laptop and getting this error:

Invalid Multiboot image: neither ELF header nor a.out kludge found

Current system partition is Vista 32bit default.

I would like to create a dual boot so I can always jump back to the vista install for any emergency situations.

OK, after starting over and following this writup on ramdisk install I get errors trying to load drivers starting from 'system32\drivers\cdfs.sys' and then system reboots.

If every installation attempt failed, maybe you can try my frugal installation method, as it does not require anything beyond your hard disk and a proper bootloader...

Please try livecd first. Trying a bootcd only makes sense when livecd works for you in the same conditions.

With livecd it's also easier to enable debugging in order to get insight into the booting problems.

Thanks guys, I did try the live cd with the same errors but have not had the time to try the frugal install yet.
The live cd I tried was with the usbramboot, I haven't had time to try anything else.
