Restore package run as ISO or IMG?
Posted: Fri Aug 31, 2012 2:19 pm
Hello,
I have a netbook with no cd drive and only 1 USB drive. I often need to reactivate my Bootit installation when messing around with new OS installs. However, keeping it installed to a USB drive is a complete waste of 8Gb and I need the drive for other things during these OS installs.
On the USB drive I have a Grub4dos installation, and I also have a partition on my hard drive dedicated to Grub4dos multibooting. These are both handy so that I don't have to reformat my USB drive every time I want to install something new.
Is there no way to restore my Bootit Installation on the hard drive's boot partition either by ISO, IMG, or a particular boot file through Grub4Dos (such as "BootitBM"? (My attempts with the ISO and IMG only allow me to access the USB stick and not the hard drive.)
A fourth alternative might be a configuration file copied over to Bootit, which is installed and running off of my USB drive (as a USB-HDD, not an FDD, with other files on the drive.) (I had it installed this way before installing it onto the hard drive.)
Thanks a lot.
