Hi all,
  I've noticed that on some setups, these lines in menu.list causes the system to hang at the message "processing the preset menu".

When I removed these lines:
Code: [Select]
title Boot from First Hard Disk
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
map --hook
rootnoverify (hd0)
chainloader +1
 
iftitle [if exist (hd1,0)/bootmgr] Load Microsoft Windows Vista/Win7/Win8 from First Hard Disk
root (hd1,0)
chainloader (hd1,0)/bootmgr
 
iftitle [find --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /bootmgr] Find and Load BOOTMGR of Windows Vista/Win7/Win8
find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /bootmgr
chainloader /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

It boots fine.

I think this happens when there is something with the file system on one of the hard drives attached to the computer.

Is there anyway I can remove these entries as part of the build, rather than doing it manually later?

I tried removing the Plop Boot Manager, but that isn't it.

I found this thread, which appears similar.

Is there a way for me to remove these options in WinBuilder, or would I have to edit one of the scripts?
