Boot Loader
-
Hi guys, I would like to know (1) how i can make sure that bfore actual bootloader executes; my own designed bootloader will execute? (2) how to configure actual boot loader so that it will always ask me " press any key to continue"? Thanx Tom
(1) Write and install your own BIOS. (2) Write and install your own NTLDR. "If it's Snowbird season, why can't we shoot them?" - Overheard in a bar in Bullhead City

have a look at grub, linux's "grand unified boot loader"... there's a grub 4 dos, or someting like that, which i got to work on windows... since it's open source, you might be able to change it to what you want it to do... -- Raoul Snyman Saturn Laboratories e-mail: raoul.snyman@saturnlaboratories.co.za web: http://www.saturnlaboratories.co.za/ blog: http://blog.saturnlaboratories.co.za/ linux user: #333298

But please let me know specifically: which file to look in for? how i can make changes. Actually i want to design/expand existing bootloader for my Windows Proffessional OS. How can i do that? give me refrence with respect to GnuGrub Thanx
i don't know. i haven't looked at the source code. that's what i would have to do to answer your question. and besides, i'm not going to hand you the answer on a silver platter. what would be the point? you wouldn't learn anything from it. the only way i can think of expanding your booloader would be to use another, which you then customize, unless you can get microsoft to release the source code for ntldr, which i very much doubt. -- Raoul Snyman Saturn Laboratories e-mail: raoul.snyman@saturnlaboratories.co.za web: http://www.saturnlaboratories.co.za/ blog: http://blog.saturnlaboratories.co.za/ linux user: #333298
