What is the correct method for running grub? The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction"Ĭhoosing either "close" or "ignore" terminates the application and closes the command window. Am I supposed to be running grub to execute this command? How do I run grub? Trying to run grub from the gives me this error: "map" is not recognized as a command on my XP system using the command prompt. Secondly, map dell's partition as floppy 1, i.e., drive B:
What if my system does not have a floppy drive - can I copy these to a CD? You may firstly install grldr to a floppy, or using grub.exe to enter grub4dos.ĭoes this mean to copy grldr to a floppy? Don't you also need menu.1st on the same floppy? That said, I do have some small understanding of your directions but if you or anyone else can elaborate that would be most helpful. Remembering that Wubi has the possibility of bringing non-technically minded windows users to Linux with an easy to install dual boot system that allows new users to try out Linux without mucking around with their Windows installation and making changes to their system - you will probably encounter more folks like me who "don't have a clue" about this but really want to make it work. Incidentally i did try a livecd of pclinuxos, which seemed to work fine, even detecting my sound card which i was amazed at since the vista beta did not, and connecting to the internet with it was real easy, in stark contrast to the last time i tried linux (red hat 5) which involved searching for some seemingly random named help file in /usr/bla/what/ever/bla/bla/bla/bla/bla/./hidden/screw/you/wont/work/anywyzĪtm tho i dont want to go through the hassle of altering the partitions of my hard drive for a proper install of linux(my xp is running about as good as its ever been), which is why i am interested in the Wubi/linux-as-a-file-on-ntfs, so i can experiment without screwing up my existing setup which is in constant use I can access the GRUB command line, but i dont know exactly what its trying to tell me or what to do about it Some buggy BIOSes can hang when you access sectors exceeding the BIOS limitįind -set-root-ignore-floppies /wubi/boot/grub/menu.lst Warning MBR Cylinders (38914) is greater than the BIOS (625192446) Now when i choose ubuntu from the boot menu, the grub program runs I put the grldr and menu.lst on my E:\ partition Thanks man, i've chilled out a bit now !!
