Win7PE_SE multiboot problem

I am not able to run Win7PE_SE in multiboot environment. The booting is successful but the program files are not accessible in the start menu.

I have created a grub4dos-based  iso with the following menu.lst entries:

..
..

title Win7PE_x86  iso in /images/
map /images/Win7PE_x86.ISO (0xff)
map --hook
chainloader (0xff) 
..
..

The CDDrive_X_Y.script is enabled.
I find that the CD containing the program files is mounted as D: in the multiboot case and Y:  if the Win7PE_x86.iso is booted directly while testing with VirtualBox.

Is there any modification to be done in the menu.lst lines?
Thanks in advance.

Currently, on CDDrive_X_Y.script enable "Run all programs from RAM",
so you get all your files inside boot.wim and accessable when booted from grub4dos/pxe etc.....  :thumbsup:

Reason behind:
since there is no real cd when booting from grub4dos etc. there is no accessable program files....

Aside:
If you do not like the idea of disabling CDDrive_X_Y.script due to some reasons...
There is a custom way:
-enable imdisk (Tweaks/Imdisk)
-write an application/batch etc. to search your .iso file (whatever name) and mount to Y:

Well since nobody truely needed such thing, nobody has written yet, maybe one day, maybe you, maybe ChrisR, maybe JFX  :wink:

 :cheers:
