GRUB4DOS 0.4.5c 2013-07-24, root is (0x80,0)
Processing the preset-menu ...

The reporter was not aware of having done wrong with the preset-menu. I suppose  the preset menu might have a line like find --set-root without the --ignore-floppies switch, or explicitly use (fd0), or made another mistake that causes infinit loop, etc.


What is your menu.lst?
If you have the original menu.lst , I have to correct a mistake!

Code: [Select]
default 0
timeout 5
gfxmenu /Boot/GFXBoot.gfx
 
title Win8PESE
chainloader /BOOTMGR
 
title MemTest86+ 4.20
kernel /Boot/IMG/MEMTEST.BIN
lock
 
title Plop Boot Manager
kernel /Boot/IMG/PLPBT.BIN
lock
 
title Boot from internal Hard Disk
rootnoverify (hd0)
chainloader +1
 
iftitle [if exist (hd0,0)/bootmgr] Load Microsoft Windows Vista/Win7/Win8 from Hard Disk
root (hd0,0)
chainloader (hd0,0)/bootmgr
 
iftitle [find --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /ntldr] Find and Load NTLDR of Windows NT/2K/XP
find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /ntldr
chainloader /ntldr
 
iftitle [find --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /cmldr] Find and Load CMLDR of Windows NT/2K/XP
find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /cmldr
chainloader /cmldr
 
iftitle [find --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /io.sys] Find and Load IO.SYS of Windows 9x/Me
find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /io.sys
chainloader /io.sys
 
iftitle [find --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /sbin/init] Find and Boot Linux with menu.lst already installed
find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /sbin/init
configfile /Boot/grub/menu.lst
 
iftitle [if exist (fd0)+1] Floppy (fd0)
chainloader (fd0)+1
rootnoverify (fd0)
 
title CommandLine
commandline
 
title Reboot
reboot
 
title Halt
halt

:cheers:

I do not have any PC available with a floppy disk drive to reproduce.
Anyway,I removed the option menu Floppy (fd0) in scripts "Create ISO" and "Copy to USB". I do not think it is really useful.
The option "Add the contents of this file after WinPESE in grub4dos'  menu.lst:" is available, if needed.
The scripts are on the server.
Thanks for the return  :thumbsup:
