After several failed attempts to dual-boot Ubuntu 15.04 and Windows 10 on a single hard drive and on a computer with UEFI firmware, and not knowing what caused the first failed attempt, I figured that subsequent failed attempts must have been due to an existing Ubuntu GRUB folder in the Boot EFI folder.

Grub4dos Command Primer. Grub4dos Internal variables, memory areas, advanced features and function calls. 134 - Configure Windows to boot to grub4dos using the BCD. 135 - How to MBR-boot to a Windows 8/10 3TB+ hard disk. 136 - UEFI-boot directly from Ubuntu-based ISO files. How to install Windows 10 from Windows XP without using DVD or USB stick. How to install Windows 10 from Windows XP without DVD or USB stick.

Especially since the machine always froze when the installer is attempting to install GRUB

So I thought that If I could just delete the ubuntu folder from the Boot EFI folder, that the installation would complete – successfully. Ultimately, it didn’t, but I figured out how to delete GRUB files from inside Windows 10, from the command line.

This post documents how it was done. It involved, from the command line, listing and selecting the detected hard drives, listing the partitions on the hard drive, then, finally, listing and deleting the target folder. Another reason you might want to do this, is if you deleted the Linux partitions, which would not automatically delete the GRUB files from the Boot EFI folder.

To start, log into Windows 10, click on the menu and type cmd. Then right-click on the terminal application’s icon and select run as administrator. Figure 1 show the commands (underlined) used to accomplish the first step – listing and selecting the hard drive. To make it possible to copy-and-paste, for those who might need to, I’ve provided the commands in the code block after the last image.

In this figure, the target disk is shown as a 465 GB hard drive, with GPT partition.

After the target disk has been selected, its partitions are listed, so that the partition (volume) that corresponds to the Boot EFI folder can be identified. In Figure 2, that partition is Volume 2. It’s usually the only volume with FAT32 in the Fs (file system) column, and System in the Info column. After it has been identified and selected, you assign it a drive letter to make it easier to work with. In this example, I assigned it a drive letter D. After that, exit diskpart.

The final task involves changing into the Boot EFI folder, listing its contents to identify what subfolder the GRUB files would be. It will be in the EFI folder. The GRUB files for the distribution that was installed will be under a folder of the same name as the distribution. For example, if Ubuntu was installed, as in this example, the name of the folder will be ubuntu. Delete the folder using the rmdir /s command. That’s the Windows 10 equivalent of the Unix/Linux rm -r command.

All the commands used are given in this code block. Note that this procedure is not necessarily the best or only way to go about do this, so if you know of a better method, post a comment.

ls

Similar to the Linux ls command, similar to the dircommand under Dos, list files and directories in the current directory (workingdirectory) under

ls /boot

Lists the current directory (working directory) undernames beginning with boot files and directories, do not use ls boot, it is onlyvalid in the root directory.

ls /boot /

Lists the current directory boot directory of files anddirectories, do not use ls boot /, it is only valid in the root directory.

ls (hd0,0) /

Lists (hd0,0) files and directories, do not use ls(hd0,0), it is only valid in (hd0,0) for the current disk.

ls dev

Drive a list of all lists (not including drive partition)

ls /boot /> nul && echo exist

Determine the directory /boot /exists, if it exists, thenthe output exist (this method is invalid for an empty directory)

ls /boot> nul && echo exist! echo not exist

Determine whether there is a file name of the currentdirectory (working directory) to boot the beginning of the file or directory,if it exists, then the output exist, otherwise the output not exist

ls (hd0,0) /boot /> nul && echo exist! echonot exist

Judgment directory (hd0,0) /boot /exists, if it exists,then the output exist, otherwise the output not exist

[Note: If no file folder, for the ls command is concernedthat the folder does not exist. ]

[Note: Due to the illusion of the file name of thedirectory, the directory is called with the /generated by (ud) does not exist,so ls (ud) /time, lists (ud) all the files, but ls (ud) /boot /they can listall files in /boot /under, because the file names of these files are in /boot /beginning]

debug on

find

List all disks (disks, including partitions) (debug off = silent mode)

debug on

find +1

Lists all known file system disk (debug off = silent mode)

debug on
find checkrange 0x07 parttype

Lists all partitions of partition type 0x07 (NTFS) (debug off = silent mode)

find /ntldr checkrange 0x07 parttype

Find the partition type is 0x07 (NTFS) partitions which have /ntldrfile and list partitions found.

find --set-root /ntldr

Finds equipment /ntldr file, the device is set to firstfound device, the current device is searched first.

find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /ntldr

Finds equipment /ntldr file, the device is set to firstfind the current device. Ignore the floppy and CD-ROM.

find --set-root --devices=upnhcf /ntldr

Finds equipment /ntldr file, the device is set to firstfind the current device. Specify search order: ud, pxe, network equipment, harddisk, CD-ROM, floppy disk. The current root is always searched first.

find --set-root --devices=upnh /ntldr

Finds equipment /ntldr file, the device is set to firstfind the current device. Specifies the search order, and ignore the floppy andCD-ROM.

find --set-root ls /grub/

Finds /grub/ directory of the device, the device is setto first find the current device. /grub /directory can not be empty, otherwiseit will ignore the directory.

debug on
find --set-root makeactive --status

Find first active primary partition, current device is searched first. (debug off = silent mode)

find --set-root=/boot/grub /boot/grub/menu.lst

Find device contains /boot/grub/menu.lst, current device searched first, and set the workingdirectory to /boot /grub

find root

Finds all formatted partitions and lists them.. (requires 2016 or later version)

(hd0,0) Filesystem type is ntfs, partition type 0x07
(hd0,0)
(hd0,1) Filesystem type is ntfs, partition type 0x07
(hd0,1)

root

Displays the current device name and related information.

root (hd0,0)

The (hd0,0) as the current disk, the working directory is/, effects and root = (hd0,0)/ .

root (hd-1,0)

The (hd-1,0) is first ptn of last hard disk, set as the current disk, root working directoryis /

root (hd0,0)/boot

The (hd0,0) as the current disk, the working directory is/BOOT, effects and root = (hd0,0)/boot/ .

root ()/boot

Modify the working directory is /BOOT directory under thecurrent disk, effects and root = ()/boot.

root (hd0,0) > nul && echo ok ! echo fail

root (hd0,0) > nul echo fail ! echo ok

The (hd0,0) is set to the current device, if successful, output ok, if unsuccessful, output fail. (The above two commands have thesame effect)

rootnoverify (hd0,0)

Equivalent to root (hd0,0), but does not test the contents of the partition. This is used in some systems installed outside the GRUB canaccess the disk area, but still need to set the right circumstances the rootpartition. Some parameters need to be installed in order to determine thepartition may be a problem.

The following commands can be executed correctly, butwould not replace the root:

rootnoverify (hd0)
chainloader +1
boot

Device Types:

(fd0) first floppy disk = (0x00)

(fd1) second floppy = (0x01)

(hd0) first hard = (0x80)

(hd1) second hard drive = (0x81) [0xA0 - 0XFF are CD devices, so max is hd31]

(cd0) first drive, equivalent to (hd32), --init createdby cdrom

(cd1) a second optical drive, which is equivalent to (hd33),--init created by cdrom

Due to the ability to identify cdrom is too low, whileoptical devices on the market almost all been replaced by U disk, so (cd?) Thisformat may be phased out.

(md) memory drive, to achieve the whole memory as a diskdrive to visit

(rd) random storage drives.

(md) device accesses memoryfrom physical address 0, has 512 byte 'sectors'

(rd) can be accessed starting at any base memoryaddress

Named in digital equipment:

fd0 - fd126: 0x0 - 0x7E (virtual floppy diskettes andexclude 0x21 and 0x23)

pxe: 0x21 (network boot device)

ud: 0x23 (Fbinst hidden partition)

rd: 0x7F (random memory storage drive)

hd0 - hd30: 0x80 - 0x9E (hard disk and virtual harddisks)

cd: 0x9F (captured bootable CD, this is not necessarilycorrect, depending on the bios may be)

hd32 - hd127: 0xA0 - 0xFF (CD and virtual CD-ROM)

+1 Indicates the rest of the device following the firstsector of a device as a single file view:

(hd0)+1 will be the first sector of the entire hard diskas a file (of a sector)

(hd0,0)+1 will be the first sector of the partition as awhole file (of a sector)

(fd0)+1 will be the first sector of a floppy disk as awhole file (of a sector)

(cd0)+1 will be the first sector of the entire disc as afile (of a sector - sectors usually 2048 bytes)

Us constitution document download pdf

(md)+1 will be the first sector of the entire memory asa file (of a sector)

(rd)+1 this rather special, all the contents of thespecified memory as a file

[Note: (rd)+1 This always represent the file, whichcontains all the bytes are stored in the (rd) ]

Can also use + 2, + 3, etc., represents the first twoor first three sectors viewed as a single file:

(hd0)+2 first two sectors entire hard disk as a file (oftwo sectors)

(hd0,0)+3 first three sectors throughout the district asa file (a total of three sectors)

(fd0)+5 entire first 5 sectors of the floppy disk as afile (a total of five sectors)

(cd0)+10 first 10 sectors of the entire disc as a file(of 10 sectors)

(md)+32 32 sectors across the front of memory as a file(a total of 32 sectors)

(rd)+2 first two sectors of the specified memory as a file(of two sectors)

You can also use a similar approach 32+5:

(hd0)512+2 the first two sectors after 512 sectors of theentire hard drive as a file (two sectors)

(hd0,0)1+3 The three sectors starting at the 2nd sector of the first partition as a file (a total of three sectors)

(fd0)1+1 will be sector #2 of wholefloppy disk as a file (one sector)

(cd0)128+1 will be sector 128 as a file (one sector)

(md)0+32 32 sectors the start of memory as afile (a total of 32 sectors)

(rd)0+1 is equivalent to (rd) +1, all the contents ofthe specified memory as a file

About the (rd) Device:

(rd) devices only references the memory region, the memoryarea (rd) device is not being referenced protected, you can (rd) be interpretedas pointing to a block of memory pointer. In Grub4Dos, many things are free,unprotected, without limitation, (rd) is one of them.

(rd) is not a int13 device, but merely a grub4dos device.In grub4dos inside presence (rd) device, but after entering the DOS, there isno (rd) equipment was.

(rd)+1 always represents the entire contents (rd)device, rather than the first sector.

You can get information (rd) device via the followingaddress:

set /a rdnum=*0x82CC # get the (rd) device number

set /a rdbase=*0x82D0 # get the starting address (rd) devices

set /a rdsize=*0x82D8 # get the total size (rd) devices

Information can be freely set (rd) device through thefollowing methods:

map --ram-drive=0xFF7F # set (rd) device number of (rd)

map --mem --rd-base=50000 # Set (rd)devices starting address

map --mem --rd-size=30000 # Set(rd) devices the total size

map (hd0,1)+1 (fd0) # map a partition as a floppy drive

The following command only modifies the information (rd)devices:

map --mem /FILE (rd)

Here (rd) pointing a memory area which contains the content of /FILE file, but this memory is not protected, thus the memory at any time may be accessed by other code, and even modify Grub4Dos itself .

The following commands also modifies the information (rd)devices, but (rd) memory area pointed to is protected, because it (fd0)overlap, and (fd0) is protected:

map --mem /FILE (rd)

map --mem /FILE (fd0)

map --hook

If do not change the order of the first two lines or it won't work!


map --status

Display the status of disk emulation.

map /PE.ISO (0xFF)

map --hook

The /PE.ISO mapped to (hd127) simulation disk, /PE.ISOmust be continuously stored in the disk can not be fragmented.


map /win.vhd (hd)

map --hook

Map file as next available hard disk and increment BIOS hard disk count.

BIOS hard disk count is incremented if new disk is last BIOS disk+1



map --mem /PE.ISO (0xFF)

map --hook

/PE.ISO First loaded into memory, and then mapped to(hd127) simulation disk, /PE.ISO may have debris.

map --mem=-2880 /FLOPPY.IMG (fd0)

map --hook

/FLOPPY.IMG is first loaded into memory, and then mapped to(fd0) floppy disk emulation, (fd0) will occupy at least 1440KB (2880*512) of memory.

map --mem --top /BigPE.ISO (0xFF)

map --hook

The /BigPE.ISO loaded into high memory, and then mapped to(hd127) simulation disk to load the image into high memory can not use gzipcompression, but not both achieve.

In grub4dos, the memory is divided into at 3.25G highmemory and low memory ends 3.25G mirroring can not cross this point. If yourmemory is less than 3.25G, you do not have the high-end memory available.

map --unmap=0xFF

map --rehook

Uninstall (hd127) disk emulation. You can not use --unmap=(0xFF)method to uninstall, - unmap= must be followed by a number.

--rehook used to stop the simulation disk and frees upmemory, equivalent --unhook then --hook (so it seems, map --unhook command doesnot seem to be used separately)

map --unmap=0,0x80,0xFF

map --rehook

Uninstall multiple simulations disks.

map --unmap=0:0xFF

map --rehook

Uninstall all disk emulation.

If you want to uninstall a device by device name using a different method, you can do:

map (hd127) (hd127)

map --rehook

map --read-only /FLOPPY.IMG (fd0)

map --hook

(fd0) can only read, cannot write, prevent /FLOPPY.IMGfile is corrupted.

Mapped to emulate disk files can all be modified, whetherit is IMG, ISO, VHD, etc., unless --read-only parameter.

map --fake-write /FLOPPY.IMG (fd0)

map --hook

(fd0) is false writing state, data can be written, butnot recording to the (fd0), preventing /FLOPPY.IMG file from corrupted.


map --in-situ (hd0,4)+1(hd0)

used to map a logical partition as a primary partition by creating virtual MBR and PBR in memory which will be accessed by BIOS calls.

Can be used to boot DOS-based OSs (DOS,Win95/98/Me) and trick it into thinking it is booting from a Primary partition.

Unlike the partnew command, no change is made to the physical MBR or PBR.

map --unsafe-boot /FLOPPY.IMG (fd0)

map --hook

Allowmodification boot sector.

MBR is protected from writes unless --unsafe-boot is used - e.g. map --unsafe-boot (hd0,0)/image.vhd (hd1)

map --- disable-chs-mode /FLOPPY.IMG (fd0)

map --hook

Disable (fd0) of CHS access.

map --disable-lba-mode /FLOPPY.IMG (fd0)

map --hook

Disable (fd0) the LBA access.

map command can also be used to modify the information(rd) random access memory, the above have said.
map --add-mbt=option to be used with --mem. If option=0 master boot track will not be added automatically.

map --top option to be used with --mem. Use --top --mem if the file is >2GB.

Chennai gana video song download. map --mem will try to allocate memory at highest available address.

map --mem-max=, map --mem-min options to be used before map --mem. Allow user to manually limit range of address that map --mem can use. function parses K,M,G,T suffix after number - e.g. map --mem-max=4G.

map --mem will allocate memory even if the command fails due to insufficient RAM.
Note: In the map on the command line, (hdm, n) +1 styleof writing is interpreted as representative of the (hdm, n) partitions, ratherthan just the first sector of the partition.

Note: - after unhook disk emulation, unless you then do --unmap, mapped disks will again be automatically mapped on next --hook

Disk swapping on the map command:

# Intended to be mapped to the current device (hd0)

[Note: Performing cat --locate= or cat --locatei =, youcan get the position of the last occurrence using %?%]

For example:

cat --locate=b /File > nul

set /a Last=%?% >nul

Explanation: cat --locate=a /File returns results like 29 35 48 99 but the variable ? is set to the position of the last byte found.

With skill you can use &; operator to achieve this on one line (this does not work if you use &&)

set Last=-1 && cat --locate=a /File &; set /aLast =%?% > nul


sets a to a space character:

set 'a= '

set multiple spaces before a string:

set 'a= here are spaces'


cmp /menu.lst /m.lst

Compares two files are identical.

cmp --hex /menu.lst /m.lst

Compare two files are identical, and compare the resultsdisplayed in hexadecimal format.

cmp /menu.lst /m.lst > nul && echo same ! echo different

Compare two files are the same, if the same, then theoutput same, otherwise the output different.

dd command

dd if=()/menu.lst of=()/m.lst

Copy the contents of the /m.lst in /menu.lst

dd if=()/menu.lst of=() /m.lst bs=32 count=5

A block size of 32 (default 512), copy data from five blocks from /menu.lst into /m.lst

dd if=()/menu.lst of=()/m.lst bs=10 skip=5 seek=6

10 as block size, copy data from /menu.lst into /m.lstin. When copying, skip the first five blocks /menu.lst, and start reading fromthe first 6 blocks, a write, skip the first seven blocks /m.lst from the firsteight blocks to start writing.

dd if=()/menu.lst of=()/m.lst buf=0x2000000 buflen=0x2000000

Copy the contents of the /m.lst /menu.lst, and whencopying from 0x2000000 position memory (32M location) take 0x2000000 space (32Mspace) as a cache for copying large files, increasing the cache size dd canaccelerate write speeds.

[Note: The source and target files must be present, thepath must begin with a device name, the excess length of the file will bediscarded, the target file can not be gz compressed files, source files can becompressed gz files, compressed files before replication be extracted. dd forthe entire device can read and write operations: dd if=(fd0) of=(fd1), withcaution. ]

write and read

write /menu.lst abc

Abc written in three characters at the beginning/menu.lst file, overwriting the original characters.

write /menu.lst 'abc'

Write five characters 'abc' at the beginning/menu.lst files, overwrite the original characters.

write /menu.lst 'abc'

Write five characters 'abc' at the beginning/menu.lst files, overwrite the original characters.

[Note: The string is written, in addition to thebeginning of the space, other spaces, or single or double quotation marks donot need to escape, escape can be processed, the backslash must be escaped]

[Note: The target file must exist, some beyondthe length of the file will be discarded, the target file can not be gzcompressed files, source files can be compressed gz files, compressed filesbefore copying will be extracted. write commands to operate the equipment:write (fd0) abc, caution. ]

write --bytes=20x8274 0x2001

If the object is not written to a file or device, but anumber, this number represents a memory address, the address of the memory datawrite modified to specify the value of the data to be written must be aninteger, not a string. Practice with the following memory address:

write 0x50000 -1

read 0x50000

>> Address 0x50000: Value 0xffffffff

write 0x50000 0

read 0x50000

>> Address 0x50000: Value 0x0 (four bytes, 32-bits)

write --bytes=3 (md)0x300+1 x00x01x02 where bytes n = 1-8

If target is FILE (not ADDR) then must specify byte string x00x01 etc.


read 0x60000

Reads a 32-bit value from the specified location in memory, and displayed in hexadecimal form.

read -8 0x6000 (64-bit read)

[also calc *0x60000]

'raw write' and 'raw read' can be used to prevent decompression of gz or lzma source


Grub4dos itself to conventional memory usage situation isnow as follows:

00000 ~ 0FFFF occupied grub4dos program code and stack.

10000 ~ 1FFFF grub4dos future for code and dataretention.

20000 ~ 2FFFF is grub4dos geometry kernel automaticallydetect occupancy, as a buffer.

30000 ~ 37FFF occupied grub4dos kernel conventional diskread and write buffers.

38000 ~ 4FFFF grub4dos reserved for future expansion.

50000 ~ 7FFFF reserved for users

100,000 to 110,000 by the dd command of the disk bufferoccupancy.

[Note: The above content on memory allocation is notnecessarily accurate, correct me hope developers]

calc 1 + 1

1 + 1 is calculated, you can do: + (plus), - (minus), *(multiplication), /(division),% (I), << (left), >> (right) , & (and), (or), ^ (XOR)

calc 0xFF

Display 0xFF decimal and hexadecimal results

calc *0x8280

Display integer value stored at the memory 0x8280

calc *0x50000=1

The integer value stored at the memory 0x50000 changed to1

calc *0x50000=*0x8280

The integer value stored at the memory 0x50000 change to theinteger value stored at 0x8280

calc *0x50000=1<<4

The integer value stored at the memory 0x50000 modify theresults of the calculated (1<<4=16)

[Note: In the set /a var=value in, value can becalculated using the above method: set /ab=*0x8280]

calc and set /a minus number can be treated as a negative, butto add a space after the minus sign, for example, the following code:

set a=-32

set /a b=0-%a%

Above the set command can not calculate the value of0--32, with the following wording can be calculated (add a space after theminus sign):

set a=-32

set /a b=0- %a%

Above the set command can calculate the value of 0- -32,the result is 32.

Part 2 - graphicsmode, vbeprobe, testvbe, setvbe, terminal,terminfo, font, background, foreground


graphicsmode

The current mode of display graphics

graphicsmode 0x12

Use vga mode (640 × 480), recommended vbe mode

graphicsmode 0x6A

Use vga mode (800x600, camera support is not very goodfor some, there may be crashes), recommended vbe mode

graphicsmode -1 640

Use vbe mode, specify the resolution width of 640, if thewidth of the monitor does not support this resolution will fail

graphicsmode -1 800 600

Use vbe mode, specify the resolution width of 800 and aheight of 600, if the monitor does not support this resolution will fail

graphicsmode -1 1024 768 32

Use vbe mode, specify the resolution width 1024, height768, 32-bit color, if the monitor does not support this resolution or bitcolor, will fail

graphicsmode -1 100: 1000 100: 1000

Use vbe mode, the maximum available resolution widthselected from the range of 100 to 1000, the maximum available height selectedfrom the range of 100 to 1000

That is, the above command optional 320 × 200,320 ×400,640 × 400,640 × 480,800 × 600 resolution, etc., from which to select thehighest resolution available

graphicsmode -1 100: 1000 100: 1000 24:32

Effect as above, but adds depth range of colors, thesame, choose the highest color depth available in 24 colors and 32 colors in

[Note: grub4dos the vbe does not support 16-bit colordepth and a lower, only supports 24-bit and 32-bit color depth. So, all of yougraphicsmode command, you need to explicitly specify the color depth 24:32, cannot be omitted. For example, the use of graphicsmode -1 and graphicsmode -1 800600 is not entirely correct, it should be replaced respectively graphicsmode -1-1 -1 24:32 and graphicsmode -1 800 600 24:32 considered right. ]

vbeprobe

Detection vbe information

vbeprobe 1024x768x32

Detection vbe information specified ?? not supported ???

vbeprobe 0x100

Detection vbe information specified graphics mode

testvbe 800x600

Test specified vbe mode, direct calls sometimes Huaping

setvbe 800x600x32

Before running to change the core of the system videomode, video mode information will be passed to the core. Huaping direct callsin most cases

[Note: setvbe command is mainly to some Linux bootprocess graphical interface and design, is not normally. Recommends that younever use it. If you can avoid it, try to avoid using it. Linux is usually inyour own startup process, will set themselves the appropriate graphics mode,rather than to go through the settings grub4dos job. Therefore, the future mayban this setvbe command. ]

terminal console

Select the text-mode terminal

terminal graphics

Select the graphic mode terminals

terminal --no-echo graphics

Select the graphic mode terminals, and does not displaythe characters entered by the user

terminal --font-spacing=1: 2

In vbe mode, set the kerning to a line spacing of 2units: Like a few points.

[Note: For more on terminal usage does not know how touse, it seems irrelevant. ]

terminfo

Many PDFs that I read are scans and they are oriented horizontally. I can't read them without rotating them! Adobe reader download windows 10 64-bit.

Display configuration information about the currentterminal

[Note: For more on the usage of terminfo not know how touse, it seems irrelevant. ]

font /unifont.hex.gz

Load the font file that displays characters in vbe mode (file in hex format, can be compressed as gzip or LZMA)

default font height = 16 (may be 8 or 16 pixels wide)

font --font-high=24 /sft.f24

also --simp= for chinese (unsure how to use??)


Font Download:

https://code.google.com/p/grub4dos-chenall/

http://bbs.wuyou.net/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=256198

0.4.6a 2016 - supports larger fonts - e.g. 24 (max 32 - Warning: 32 high will use more memory above (md)0xA0000)

for fonts, download Easy2Boot (24-pixel high font files end in .f24)


background 303030

Set the background color in vga mode, the other modes donot work

foreground FFFF00

Set the foreground color in vga mode and other modes donot work

Part 3 - halt, reboot, hide, unhide, hiddenflag, makeactive,partnew, parttype, blocklist, uuid, fstest

halt

Shutdown (halt, there are many parameters, when somethinggoes wrong when you go off to study its parameters it)

reboot

Reboot (no arguments)

hide (hd0,0)

Hide the first hard disk first primary partition

unhide (hd0,0)

Unhide the first primary partition of the first hard disk

hiddenflag

Displays the hidden status of current root device(for ud, cd, etc. do not work)

hiddenflag (hd0,0)

Displays the first hard disk hidden status ofthe first primary partition

hiddenflag --set

With the current device to hide

hiddenflag --set (hd0,0)

The first hard disk first primary partition is set tohide (ie, if the original partition type is 0x07, now partition type 0x17)

hiddenflag --clear

The current device is set to unhidden

hiddenflag --clear (hd0,0)

The first hard disk first primary partition is set toappear (that is, if the original partition type is 0x17, now partition type0x07)

makeactive

The current device is set to active

makeactive (hd0,0)

The first hard disk first primary partition as active

makeactive --status

Show whether the current device is active

makeactive --status (hd0,0)

Displays the first hard disk is the first primarypartition as active

partnew [--active] partition type starting-sector number[length]

or

partnew --active partition type CONTIG_FILE

creates a new primary partition table entry with values corresponding to the start-sector+length or file-start+length

e.g.

partnew --active (hd0,3) 0 /_ISO/ubuntu.iso

sets a partition of type 0 to start of ubuntu ISO - this partition will be automatically found and mounted by linux as CD filesystem.

If type=0 (or 0x10 for hidden) then the partition type will be set automatically depending on file contents or type 0 if not.


parttype

Display the current partition partition type

parttype (hd0,0)

Display the partition type of the first hard disk firstpartition

parttype (hd0,0) 0x17

The type of the first partition of the first hard diskpartition to 0x17

blocklist /grldr

Show file information block, ie the starting block andthe block length of the local file.

blocklist file pxe command can not be used on the device.

[Note: If a file is fragmented, blocklist file lists allthe blocks, including debris, if too much debris beyond Grub4Dos buffer, thecommand will fail]

If small NTFS file, then first (attribute $MFT) block is not reported.

uuid

Column number at all devices uuid

uuid (hd0,0)

Uuid number designated display device

uuid 000E0336000C1B8D

Find uuid number 000E0336000C1B8D equipment, and set itto the current device

uuid (hd0,0) 000E0336000C1B8D && echo yes! echono

If (hd0,0) The uuid number 000E0336000C1B8D output yes,otherwise no output

fstest

Order to help developers create file system supports codeset, end users do not need it.

Part 4 - kernel, initrd, module, modulenounzip, chainloader, boot,pxe, quit

kernel [--no-mem-option] [--type=TYPE] FILE [ARG ..]

Try to load the master boot image file. Other items willbe used as the kernel command line parameters passed to the kernel.

Before using this command, the kernel used by the moduleshould be reloaded.

--type Parameter for describing the kernel types,including 'netbsd', 'freebsd', 'openbsd','linux', 'biglinux' and 'multiboot'.

--no-mem-option parameters for describing the Linuxmemory need not automatically pass mem parameter to linux

initrd FILE [FILE2] [FILE..]

Initialize the virtual disk to load Linux format, and setthe necessary parameters. Specify start before the real root file systemaccess, access ramdisk images in the system.

By the following command to start the kernel and initrdUbuntu 13.10 LiveCD:

title starts Ubuntu 13.10 amd64 LiveCD

# Find UBUNTU-13.10-X64.ISO where disk and set it as thecurrent disk

find --set-root /BOOT/UBUNTU/UBUNTU-13.10-X64.ISO

# Try to load the master boot image file vmlinuz.efi,followed by the parameters passed to vmlinuz.efi.

kernel /BOOT/UBUNTU/vmlinuz.efi boot=casper iso-scan /filename=/BOOT/UBUNTU /UBUNTU-13.10-X64.ISO locale=zh_CN.UTF-8

# Load Linux virtual disk initialization formatinitrd.lz.

initrd /BOOT/UBUNTU/initrd.lz


Do not use multiple initrd lines for multiple image files, instead place all image files on same line, e.g. initrd /boot/file1 /boot/file2 /boot/file3


module FILE [ARG ..]

For multiple boot image file to load the startup module(not handle the contents of the file, the user must determine their own corerequirements).

The remaining arguments as 'fast-modecommand-line' pass, like kernel command.

This command is typically do not have access, when youwant to start when the Linux system, and the system requirements for the loadmodule file, will be used, related to the Linux system will be described, theaverage user can ignore this command.

modulenounzip FILE [ARG ..]

Similar to the module, but disabled the automaticdecompression.

As above, the average user can ignore this command.

chainloader

chainloader /ntldr

Load ntldr boot file

chainloader (hd0,0) +1

Load (hd0,0) first sector

chainloader +1

Load current of the first sector of the device


chainloader --force (hd0,0) +1

Load (hd0,0) in the first sector, the sector started toignore the validity of identity, forced to start

[Note: chainloader there are many other parameters can bemodified before the start of the CPU registers, but for the average user, thesethings will not be used, if you want to know more chainloader parameters, referto 'Grub4Dos help documentation ']

Grub4dos Windows 10 Windows 7

boot

Boot loaded operating system or chain loader sector, OKto start, usually with the use chainloader command in the menu file can beomitted, the command line mode requires.

chainloader /ntldr

boot

Load ntldr boot file, and then start.

boot -1

Call the BIOS int18 function, according to BIOS bootorder set to start next device.

boot --int18

As above, call the BIOS int18 function, according to BIOSboot order set to start next device.

pxe

This command is more complex, later studies, the firstlocal start to get to know. See http://diddy.boot-land.net/grub4dos/files/pxe.htm

The default, embedded menu in grldr contains pxe detect command - so grldr will automatically look for a PXE server and load a menu file from the server if one is found.

1. pxe

If used without any parameter, pxe command will display current settings.

2. pxe blksize N

Set the packet size for tftp transmission. Minimum value is 512,

maximum value is 1432. This parameter is used primarily for very old

tftp server where packet larger than 512 byte is not supported.

3. pxe basedir /dir

Set the base directory for files in the tftp server. If

pxe basedir /tftp

then all files in the pxe device is related to directory /tftp, for example, (pd)/aa.img correspond to /tftp/aa.img in the server.

The default value of base directory is the directory of the boot file, for example, if boot file is /tftp/grldr, then default base directory is /tftp.

4. pxe keep

Keep the PXE stack. The default behaviour of GRUB4DOS is to unload the PXE stack just before it exits.

Note: Do not use pxe keep if you first boot via PXE to grub4dos and then load grub4dos again to boot from a disk, otherwise grub4dos will just try to PXE boot again!

5. pxe unload

Unload the PXE stack immediately. Does not work if pxe keep has been used.

quit

If you are entering the GRUB environment from DOSenvironment, use this command to return to the DOS environment.

quit --disable-a20

Use --disable-a20 parameter - A20 line will be disabled whenthe transfer control to DOS.


Part 5 - configfile, default, savedefault, timeout, title,iftitle, hiddenmenu, password, lock, md5crypt, commandline, gfxmenu,splashimage, color, outline

Use the command line or menu file:

configfile /menu.lst

Load current menu file in the root directory of thedevice /menu.lst.

configfile (hd0,0) /menu.lst

#load (hd0,0) /menu.lst

configfile (md)4+8

Special usage, use grldr built-in menu. (md)4 is start of embedded menu.lst file.


To reset default config file path to use the built-in menu :

write 0x307ff8 1 && configfile


[Note: configfile command is executed, the current deviceand the current directory will be updated at the same time as the device FILEfile.

If configfile command without any parameters in the initialization of thebuilt-in menu command group, then control is transferred to the menu.lst file tostart the device. ]


configfile

Load the last used configuration file (or menu.lst from the current root)

Before use all menu items:

default 0

The first menu item is selected by default (if the userdoes not manually select words)

default saved

The default selection is set to the last savedefault saved menu item(savedefault executed in menu item, the default saved to /default file)

default /FILE

The default selection is set to the last savedefault save menu item(savedefault executed in menu item, the default saved to /FILE file)

e.g. default default is often used where default is a 2048-byte file.

[Note: /default file or /FILE file must be 2048 bytes in size]

Used in the menu items:

savedefault

The current menu item as the default menu is saved to /defaultor the default command to specify the /FILE in.

savedefault --wait=5

The current menu item to save as the default menu /defaultor the default command to specify the /FILE, the first five seconds to save theuser a hint:

About to write the entry number x to file

Press Y to allow or N to deny.

If the user does not press the Y button, the defaultwithin five seconds does not save menu item.

Before use all menu items:

timeout 10

Menu list appears after 10 seconds, if the user does notmanually select the default menu item to perform.

title menu title

Specifies the text of the menu item title

title menu title n menu prompts the first line n menuprompts the second line n ..

The title text and text prompts to specify the menu item

[Note: If the menu item does not start sensitive command,the menu key to select the vertical direction is not only key to select theright direction. ]

Start sensitive command:

boot, chainloader, configfile, command, commandline,halt, kernel, pxe, quit, reboot

You can do the following in the menu list interface:

e: Edit the current boot menu items

b: Start the current menu item

c: enter the grub command line

p: enter password (if set)


You can do the following in the Edit menu item:

e: Edit the current row

d: Delete the current line

o: insert a new row below the current row

O: to insert a new row above the current row

b: Start the current menu

c: enter the grub command line

esc: Returns the grub menu list, cancel any changes madeto the current menu item

[Note: The changes to the menu's only temporary, onlyvalid for this start]

At the command line you can do the following:

esc: Returns the grub menu list

In the menu list, you can press the number keys to selectthe menu, if you want to select a menu item 9 above, you can press the numberkey twice, for example, to select the first 25 menu items, you can press 2 andthen press 5 (menu number from 0 began, that number is zero first menu).

iftitle [if exist (hd0,0) /bootmgr] start (hd0,0) inNT6.x

If [] the condition is TRUE then display the menu else do not display the menu

There must be no space after [ character or before ] character.

Before all menu items:

hiddenmenu 3

Does not display the menu list, use the menu item 3 startwithin the timeout time, press any key to display the menu list.

hiddenmenu --chkpass=0x5700

Does not display the menu list, use the default startmenu items, within the timeout time press the F11 key to display the menu list.

[Note: If you do not know the key code can use pause--test-key command to get the function]

Used in menu items, or until all the menu items:

password password

Lock on the menu, look at the following example:

title menu title

password 123

commandline

To do this you need to enter the password menu 123

title menu title

password --md5 $1$JS/2$CKT61E11gzkdEKQnEpqjhS1

commandline

To do this you need to enter the password menu 123 (123is the result of md5 password encryption)

timeout 10

default 0

password 123

Menu 1 title

commandline

Menu 2 title

commandline

Locking the entire menu list, the menu list is not lockedafter pressing the e key to edit, you can not press the c key to enter thecommand line, you can use these features unlocked at the menu list interface,press p key to enter the unlock password .

[Note: To get the md5 encoded string, you can performmd5crypt 123]

Used in the menu items:

lock

Lock the current menu, to enter after the need to unlock.Look at the following examples:

timeout 10

default 0

password 123


Menu 1 title

lock

commandline


Menu 2 title

commandline


Unlock the front, 'Menu 1' can not be executed. After unlocking by pressing p and entering the password, 'Menu 1' and'Menu 2' can be executed

Used in the command line:

md5crypt abc

Gets a string abc of md5 encoded.

Used in the menu items:

commandline

Grub4Dos enter the command line.

Before use all menu items:

gfxmenu /message

Use /message graphic menu

Because gfxmenu compatibility with Grub4Dos bad, so I donot recommend the use of

splashimage: display a bitmap or jpg.

Before use all menu items:

Invbe mode, you can use 24-bit color or 32-color BMP or JPG format (not XPM in latest versions) format pictureas a background.


splashimage:splashimage [--offset=[type]=[x]=[y]] FILE

type: bit 7:transparent background

splashimage --fill-color=[0xrrggbb]

splashimage --animated=[type]=[duration]=[last_num]=[x]=[y] START_FILE

type: bit 0-3:times bit 4:repeat forever bit 5:wait time bit 7:transparent background type=00:disable

duration: [10] unit is a tick. [10:ms] units are milliseconds,

naming rules for START_FILE: *n.??? n: 1-9 or 01-99 or 001-999

hotkey F2,control animation: play/stop.

Load FILE as the background image when in graphics mode.


bmp or jpg can be compressed using gzip or grub4dos LZMA utility.

Progressive format JPEG files not supported (use MSPaint to re-save it). XPM no longer supported.

fill-color will fill the whole screen with a single rgb colour


For fastest animation - add bitmaps to a floppy.ima file and load to memory
map --read-only --mem /_ISO/DNA.ima (fd3)
splashimage --animated=0x90=1=120=550=0 (fd3)/DNA_orbit_animated_frame_0001.bmp

Before use all menu items:

color normal=0xFFFFFF highlight=0xFF0000

Set menu is not selected for the white, select the menufor the red

color heading=0x0000FF helptext=0x00FF00

Color information is provided in the top menu is blue,the color information of the Help menu is green

color standard=0xFFFFFF

Set the text color to white console

color border=0xFF00FF

Set menu border color magenta (VBE mode active)

color normal=0xFFFFFF highlight=0xFF0000 heading=0x0000FFhelptext=0x00FF00 standard=0xFFFFFF border=0xFFFF00

All of the above and set the color

color 0xFFFFFF 0xFF0000 0x0000FF 0x00FF00 0xFFFFFF0xFFFF00

All of the above and set the color (if the order is set,you can omit the state flag)

color 0xFFFFFF 0xFF0000

Set menu is not selected for the white, select the menufor the red (if the order is set, you can omit the state flag)

[Note: 0xFFFFFF represents the three colors red, greenand blue values: 0xRRGGBB]

Before use all menu items:

outline on

Open the outline of a character display mode graphicsmode.

outline off

Character outline closed graphics mode display mode.

outline

Character contour switch graphics mode display mode.

outline status

Character outline shows the current graphics mode displaymode.

[Note: Since the background when the cause is unclearhandwriting when you can try to open the show, it will get better displayeffect]

Part 6 - call, exit, shift, goto, set, setlocal, endlocal, if,checkrange, errorcheck, errnum, fallback, pause, command, insmod, delmod

call: Label 1 Parameter 1 Parameter 2 ..

Go to the 'Label 1' line and execute: eofoffice returns, by goto: eof or exit can jump to: eof place.

! BAT # Note:! Header BAT is necessary, which is used toidentify a batch script Grub4Dos

# Save this file as test, and then enter the command linetest Grub4Dos execute it

call:! label1 Parameter 1 Parameter 2 Parameter 3Parameter 4 Parameter 5 Parameter 6 && echo ok echo fail

call:! label2 Parameter 1 Parameter 2 Parameter 3 Parameter4 Parameter 5 Parameter 6 && echo ok echo fail

end echo script

exit

: label1

echo% 1% 2% 3% 4% 5% 6% 7% 8% 9

exit 0

: label2

echo% 9% 8% 7% 6% 5% 4% 3% 2% 1

exit 1

Label1 call and get the return value, the return value isdisplayed ok or fail

Label2 call and get its return value, the return value isdisplayed ok or fail

label1 always returns true

label2 always returns false

call can refresh the environment variables into a newenvironment, such as the following code:

iftitle [find --set-root --devices=h /bootmgr &&call set bootmgr=%@root^%] load BOOTMGR of Windows VISTA /WIN7 /WIN2008 on %bootmgr%

If not call the --set-root can not take effectimmediately.

Also note here that the entire command line is parsedbefore execution, parsing process, which will be replaced with the actual valueof the variable. %@root^% wording is to prevent parsing command line when itis extended to the actual value, but to extend it to a string% @ root%, so thatthe next time resolve to continue to expand. Time when the find --set-root--devices=h /bootmgr executed successfully, you need to perform && callset bootmgr =% @ root ^% (% @ root ^% at this time has been extended to %@root%) of , but also the implementation of a resolution, this time will be %@root% expands to the actual value.

exit

Jump to the script file: eof at (the end of the scriptfile). Function with goto: eof

shift

Batch-specific, discarding the first argument, thefollowing parameters to move forward.

shift 3

Batch-specific, discarding the third parameter, thefollowing parameters to move forward.

[Note: Grub4Dos can use the% 1 to% 9 parameters, whichmeans that all the parameters% remaining 9]

goto :label1

Batch files only, go to the 'Label1' at theexecution, does not return, do not support arguments. Max label length 8 characters.

Later 2018 versions may support goto if used under a menu title or iftitle entry and can use variable, e.g. goto :%RET%

Must always precede label with colon.

Max 128 labels per batch file.


goto 3

Go to the menu item and run immediately. Used in menu files only.

Must use errorcheck on (does not work if errorcheck off).

e.g.

errorcheck on
goto 3

goto +1

Go to the next menu entry (can use -n or +n)


set

variable names max 8 characters

set a=123

Setting a value of a string variable 123

set /a a=123

Setting a value of decimal integer variable 123

set /A a=123

Set the variable a hexadecimal integer value 0x7B

set /a a=123 + 4

Setting variables a decimal integer value 127 (refer tocalc command)

set /A a=123 + 4

Set the variable a hexadecimal integer value 0x7F (refercalc command)

set a

Show the value of a variable

set a =

To delete a variable

set *0x8280=0x80

Set integer value at memory address 0x8280 0x80

set

A list of all the variables listed

set *

clears all variables


set * && set fred=%fred%

clears all variables except fred

set a=abcdef

set len_a =%@retval%

%@retval% length by taking the last set of variables

set a=abcdef && set /a len_a=*0x4cb00

Length *0x4cb00 get through the last set of variables


[Note: The variable name up to eight characters, variablecontent of up to 512 bytes, only 60 variables can be set]


set /p ask=Please enter a word :

prompt for input


set /p:3 ask=Please enter a word within 3 seconds :

prompt for input, with timeout



setlocal and endlocal

Variables and endlocal setlocal between local variables,see the following examples:

set a=123

setlocal

set a=4

echo %a%

endlocal

echo %a%


endlocal between setlocal and assigned to a 4, but thisdoes not affect the variable before setlocal set a, after endlocal, a recoveryvalue of the variable before 123.

setlocal @ and endlocal @

Variables and endlocal setlocal between local variables,setlocal @ and endlocal @ across script file exists.

[Note: setlocal @ setlocal will fail before, setlocalsetlocal @ After cross-script. ]

endlocal && set fred=%fred% && set doris=%doris%

sets fred and doris after endlocal

errorcheck on

Open the error checking, error is encountered terminatesexecution

errorcheck off

Close the error checking, error encountered in theimplementation will be ignored until it is finished

errorcheck

Switching error checking mode

errorcheck status

Displays the current error checking mode

[Note: errorcheck command controls whether the error isprocessed. Errorcheck is enabled by default, that is, when an error occurscommand script will stop executing. If errorcheck is off, the script has beenexecuted to boot command (ie under the off state, fallback commands will fail).A boot command to check into the wrong turn]

errnum

Returns an error code on a command. If the command is notan error, it returns an error code of 0, otherwise it returns an appropriateerror code.

fallback 3

If the current menu item execution error, thentransferred to the third menu item to proceed. This command is only used in themenu for unattended boot mode: If the menu item execution error, withoutwaiting for the user to operate, immediately jump to the first three menu itemscontinue to default.

pause

returns TRUE if a key is pressed or FALSE if ESC is pressed


pause Press any key to continue && echo A key was pressed ! echo ESC was pressed


pause press any key to continue

Continue to run the command after a pause, and give somemessage, press any key.

pause --wait=10 press any key to continue

Continue to run the command after a pause, and give somemessage, press any key. If you do not press any key within 10 seconds, thenautomatically return to the command line.

pause --test-key

After executing the command, press any key to display thescan code.

pause && set /a key=*0x4CB00 ! set key =

Pause command to run, after pressing any key to continue,and the keys are stored in the variable key in ASCII code. If you press the ESCkey, then delete the variable key. 0x4cb00 is BIOS data area location of last key press.

command

Displays the current location specified external command

command --set-path=/boot /grub

Specify the location of external commands /boot /grub

command RUN /pe.iso

Find RUN and execute external commands, parameters/pe.iso

command /boot /RUN /pe.iso

Execute external commands /boot /RUN, the parameters for/pe.iso

[Note: Look for an external command sequence is asfollows: If is '(' or '/' at the beginning of the file is considered to be anabsolute file path, otherwise it will be directly executed

Find command insmodloads then look in the current directory. the same name. then find --set-pathfile specify the location of the same name.]

insmod RUN

RUN command to load external memory, making reads frommemory when executing external commands directly, instead of reading from thesource device, faster execution.

insmod FILE.MOD

FILE.MOD is generated by using external command makemodcollection, eliminating cumbersome multiple use insmod to load an externalcommand. You can also use the tool to create FILE.MOD Fbinsttool file.

insmod /boot/grub/fat.gz fat

The external command fat.gz loaded into memory, andspecify the new name as fat, then you can directly use the fat to call thisexternal command.

[Note: insmod to load the file, the file name length mustnot exceed 11 characters. ]

delmod

Display loaded external command

delmod RUN

Unload loaded external command RUN

Windows

delmod *

Unload all loaded external command

delmod -l %~nx0 > nul insmod %0 > nul

Determine whether the current script has been loaded intomemory, if not, then it is loaded into memory.

Grub4dos Windows 98


displaymem

GRUB judged show the current memory distribution system,including all physical memory area.

Later versions show (example):

Usable RAM (HEX): 0+4F8 800+6DF2D0 800000+2A0000

Numbers are hex 512-byte sectors: Usable memory in 3 chunks, starts at 0 for 4F8 sectors, then start at sector 800 for 6DF2D0 sectors, then starts at 800000 for 2A0000 sectors

Chunk #1 is 4F8*200 = 9F000 or 651,264 bytes in size, chunk #2 starts at 800*200 = 1MB and is DBE5A000 or 3689MB in size, chunk #3 starts at 4295MB and is 54000000 or 1409MB in size - so system has approx 6GB of RAM.

geometry (hd0)

Output (hd0) information.

is64bit

bit 0 set = 64-bit

bit 1 set = PAE

Returns 0 or 1 if 32-bit, 2 or 3 if 64-bit CPU

checkrange 0,1 is64bit && echo 32-bitcheckrange 0,2 is64bit && echo PAE not supported

serial

Initialize a serial device. Serial port, not research.

tpm --init

512 bytes of data as initialization TPM (Trusted PlatformModule) cache 7C00 at: 0000 in the address. Do not have access, not research.

setkey NEW_KEY USA_KEY

Pressing the USA_KEY produces the NEW_KEY.

e.g. setkey 9 1 - displays 9 if press 1 key

setkey 9 exclam - displays 9 if ! key pressed

setkey 9 at - displays 9 if @ key pressed

[Note: This key must be letters, numbers, and thefollowing special keys: escape (escape), exclam (!), at (@), numbersign (#), dollar ($), parenright ()), caret (^), ampersand (&), asterisk (*), plus (+), percent (%), minus (-), underscore (_), equal (=), parenleft [(], backspace (backspace), ctrlbackspace, tab (Tab), bracketleft ([), braceleft ({), bracketright (]), braceright (}), enter (carriage return), semicolon (;), colon (:), quote (') , doublequote ('), slash (/), backquote (`), tilde (~), backslash (), bar ( ), comma (,), less (<) period (.) , greater (>), question (?), space, home, uparrow, pageup, leftarrow, center, rightarrow, end, downarrow, pagedown, insert, delete,F1-F10, shiftF1-shiftF10, ctrlF1-ctrlF10.

Later versions (2019-05+) Add A for Alt+ codes, e.g. Aa-Az, A0-A9, Aequal, etc., also oem102 and shiftoem102 for the extra key on 102-key kbd.

setkey greater oem102
setkey less shiftoem102
setkey at Av

Part 8 - Batch files and notes

About !, &&, , ;; , & ;, ;


usage:

command1 && command2 ! command3

If command1 is executed successfully execute command2,otherwise execute command3

command1 command2 ! command3

If command1 fails, then execute command2, otherwiseexecute command3

command1 ;; command2 ;; command3

Three commands are executed sequentially refreshedafter;; environment variable. Equivalent to the following wording:

command1

command2

command3

command1 &; command2

If command1 is executed successfully execute command2,&; then will refresh the environment variables. Can not! Simultaneously.

command1 ; command2

If command1 fails, then execute command2, ; then willrefresh the environment variables. Can not! Simultaneously.

command1 && command2 command3

If command1 is executed successfully, execute command2 command3, nothing else to perform.

command1 && command2 command3 ! coommand4

If command1 is executed successfully, execute command2 command3, otherwise execute command4.

(Execute command2 command3 period, ifcommand2 fails to perform command3, otherwise execute command4)

In short: If you can not be successfully executed toperform the command4 command3

command1 &; command2 ! command3

Incorrect use, command3 never be executed

If command1 is executed successfully execute command2 !Command3, nothing else to perform.

command1 ; command2 command3!

Incorrect use, command3 never be executed

If command1 fails, then execute command2! Command3,otherwise nothing execution.

Tips:

Grub4dos

If you find abc in /FILE, then set the Last to theposition last found, otherwise it is set Last to -1:

set Last=-1 && cat --locate=abc /FILE &; setLast =%?%


If you find abc in /FILE, the setting for the position ofFirst found first, otherwise it is set First to -1:

set First=-1 && cat --locate=abc --number=1 /FILE&; set First =%?%

About Pipeline Operation:

command1 command2 command3

The data output of command1 command2 as input, outputdata command2 as command3 input.

command1 > /FILE

Command1 output data will be written to /FILE in, /FILEany original data will be cleared.

command1 >> /FILE

Command1 will append data to the end of the output /FILE's,/FILE any original data is not affected.

Example:

echo -n 1 echo -n 2 echo -n 3

Equivalent

echo -n 21 echo -n 3

Equivalent

echo -n 321

echo -n abc > /test

The file /test the contents emptied, and write abc. File /test must exist and be > 1K if on NTFS filesystem

echo -n abc >> /test

Appended to the end of the abc /test for.

> >> And&& conjunction:

echo 1 > /test && echo 2 >> /test && echo 3 >> /test && cat /test

> >> And&& conjunction:

if 11 && echo 111 > /test && if 12 echo 222 >> /test && if 33 && echo 333 >> /test && cat /test

And && conjunction:

set /aa=1 echo -n && set /ab=2 echo -n&& set /ac=3 echo -n

2019-05 and later versions: echo -k used for finding scan code of key.

About batch scripts:

Batch script file must begin with! BAT to.

Batch script can exit by exit or exit a call to call,exit can return an exit code, such as exit 1

Batch script or call call can accept parameters:

%0 is the command itself

%* On behalf of all parameters (not including 0%)

%1-%8 represents the first one to the first eightparameters

%9 represents all remaining parameters

You can use the shift discard parameter, the defaultdiscard the first argument, you can pre-shift 6 dropped six parameters. Theremaining parameters will move forward.

%~d1 get the first argument disk number.

%~p1 gets the first argument path.

%~n1 gets the first parameter file name.

%~x1 get the first parameter file extension.

%~f1 gets the first argument the full file path(equivalent to %~dpnx1).

%~z1 get the first parameter file size.

In a batch script if multiple consecutive % when executedwill first replaced by a two percent (does not replace the command line):

Grub4dos Windows 7

set /a n=%a%%%b% when executed, would be replaced byset /a n=%a%%b%

Then will expand the variables a and b values ofvariables, when used in conjunction with a number of variables need to payattention.

Allows the use of Ctrl + C trap runtime batch execution.

Interception on a string variable:

set a=ABCDabcd1234

echo %a:~0%

0 + 1 from the beginning of the interception to the lastcharacter (ABCDabcd1234), equivalent% a%


echo %a:~0,2%

Start Capture from 0 + 1 characters, only interception ofthe next two characters (AB), the equivalent of% a: ~, 2%

echo %a:~0,-2%

Start Capture from 0 + 1 characters, intercepted twocharacters before the penultimate (ABCDabcd12), equivalent% a: ~, -2%

echo %a:~4%

4 + 1 from the beginning of the interception to the lastcharacter (abcd1234)

echo %a:~4,2%

4 + 1 from the first character start interception,interception followed only two characters (ab)

echo %a:~4,-2%

Start Capture 4 + 1 from the first character, theinterception of the penultimate two characters before (abcd12)

echo %a:~-4%

The first four characters from the beginning of thecountdown to the final interception (1234)

echo %a:~-4,2%

The first four characters from the beginning of thecountdown to intercept only interception of the next two characters (12)

echo %a:~-4,-2%

Start Capture from the penultimate four characters,intercepted the penultimate two characters before (12)

echo %a:~-4,8%

Start Capture from the penultimate four characters, onlyeight characters followed by interception (1234), the absence of so manycharacters for the interception, so only four interception.

About internal variables:

% @ retval%: Save the last command returns the value (iethe value at 0x4CB00)


if 11 ;; echo% @ retval%

Return 1 represents true (non-zero value represents true)

if 12 ;; echo% @ retval%

Return 0 for false

calc 100-1 > nul ;; echo %@retval%

The results returned 99

set a=abcdef ;; echo %@retval%

Return variable length 6

%?_ UUID%: Save uuid command to get to the UUID value

uuid (hd0,0) > nul ;; echo %?_UUID%

Output (hd0,0) UUID value

%?_BOOT%: Save the initial boot device device number

echo %?_BOOT%

If you boot from the CD, then the output (cd), if youstart from the ud, outputs (ud)

%@root% : Save the current device number for

root (hd0,0) ;; echo %@root%


%@path% : Find a path to save the external command

command --set-path=/BOOT /;; echo %@path%

%@date%: Get the current date

echo %@date%

%@time%: Get the current time

echo %@time%

%@random%: Get a random number

echo %@random%

%?% : Special variable, mean different things in differentplaces

cat --locate=abc /FILE

echo %?%

The output of the last position abc found

map /Floppy.img (fd0)

map --status=0

echo %?%

Output (fd0) starting sector 0x3D88A7


map --status=0

echo %@retval%

Output (fd0) the size of the 2880 (sectors)

Is recommended not to use the command:

cdrom: cdrom Because the success rate is too low, whilethe CD-ROM device on the market almost all been replaced by U disk, so cdromcommand may be phased out.

setvbe: usefulness, could face elimination.

background, foreground: only valid in vga mode andGrub4Dos vga mode is not recommended, but recommended vbe mode.

fstest: developer testing, most people do not have access

gfxmenu: not Grub4Dos management, compatibility withGrub4Dos bad, it is recommended not to use, and the use Grub4Dos recommendedvbe mode.

serial: serial, early eliminated.

Memory usage rules:

User can use (md)0x300-(md)0x3DF, or (md)0x1F40-(md)0x3FFF for larger area (approx. start at 4 up to 8M)

Improve the success rate of the method to start:

Ud make a boot disk with fbinst, fbinst can guarantee ahigh success rate of start.

Formatting fbinst, let grldr and menu.lst first put udarea, other documents on the back

The following quote 'no point' in the words:

The reason to read the disk failure are:

1, if there is no use grldr.mbr but directly using thepartition boot code, then, due to the partition boot code no ability toautomatically adapt the CHS, therefore, occurs in the case of BPB CHS can notmatch the motherboard BIOS CHS, and this may lead to int13 read the diskfailure or crash. If a PBR boot code does not use 'geometry detection andadaptive' approach, it must be placed in exactly the right BPB H and Svalues, to ensure that the motherboard BIOS and identified by H, S exactly thesame value, which . Otherwise, there have disk error (or simply crash).

2. If you use grldr.mbr, it is still possible situationCHS mismatch occurs, it is because, grub4dos 'automatic detection ofCHS' function does not guarantee 100% success. Really can guarantee 100%success is fbinst. Since CHS There may not be accurate, then this will be dueto a result of the instruction execution INT13 disk error (or simply crash).

Under 3, at CHS guaranteed to match the motherboard BIOScompletely correct the situation, if the GRLDR placed rearward position, beyondthe ability to access the motherboard BIOS int13, in which case there will bedisk error (or simply crash).

4, in the motherboard BIOS supports LBA mode, this is thefirst three are similar. That is, if the GRLDR placed rearward position, beyondthe ability to access the motherboard BIOS int13, in which case there will bedisk error (or simply crash).

If I am not mistaken, this 4 above, if that is the startof all the possibilities for failure.

So, if you want your common U disk, (currently) the onlysoftware you can use is fbinst. If you do not consider the general question,then you can set your own BPB, H and S (matching your motherboard BIOS) to makeyour machine successfully started.

1, parsing the 'File Manager' batch script

This example code reference smine users:

http://bbs.wuyou.net/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=203607

smine spent two script files FileList and OpenFile, I am here to merge into a script file FileList.

Usage: The following script (content between +++++) saved as FileList file (UTF-8 format, stored in the default path for external commands),

and then at the command line or FileList FileList /DirPath /can.

Fixes some BUG, adds some usage:

FileList (ud)/

FileList (ud)

FileList /grldr

FileList grldr

FileList g

FileList /Boot/

FileList B

Using Braces (grub4dos 2018-05 and later)

Can use { } in a batch file to group commands.

<space>{<space> and <space>}<space> must be used.

'if {' , 'else {' or 'else if {' can be used at start of a new line (not in middle of line)

{ or } cannot be at start of line

Nested { { } } not supported.


if XY { ... }

else { ... }


if XY { ... }

else if XY { ... }


Can use { } in menus too if !BAT is used (must be on first line of menu)

The !BAT file scope is only for that one menu entry and does not affect any following menu entries.

Variables used after !BAT must use batch file syntax - e.g. echo %a%%%b% instead of echo %a%%b%

title Test the braces
!BAT
if '12'12' {
set a0=0
if '34'12' { set b0=0 ;; set b1=1 }
else if '12'12' { set b2=2 ;; set b3=3 }
else { set b4=4 ;; set b5=5 }
set b9=9
set b
set a1=1 }
else if '12'12' { set a2=2 ;; set a3=3 }
else { set a4=4 ;; set a5=5 }
set a9=9
set a
pause


Nesting allowed but { and } must be on separate lines (cannot have two { or } on same line.

!BAT
if 1212 {
if 3434 echo fred && if 3444 { echo doris ;; echo jim }
}
pause


hotkey utility

The hotkey grub4dos program allows you to set a hotkey for title and iftitle menu entries or for global actions when in the menu system.

Command examples:

hotkey - installs hotkey, displays help + currently registered keys if hotkey was already run

hotkey -h - installs hotkey or displays registered hotkeys but without displaying help text

hotkey -A - The menu item can be selected by pressing the first letter of the menu entry

hotkey -nb - select menu using hotkey (do not run)

hotkey -nc - disable control key

hotkey -u - uninstall

hotkey (hotkey) 'COMMAND' - set hotkey (hotkey) to always run COMMAND when hotkey is pressed

hotkey (hotkey) - unregister (hotkey)

If -A is used, menu hotkeys p, b, c and e must be shifted (e.g. shift+c to get to grub4dos command console from the menu)


Menu example - to set a hotkey for Ctrl+A key, can use ^ or [ ]

title ^Ctrl+A This menu

or

title [ctrl+A] This menu

If hotkey -A was used, then the user can press t to highlight this menu entry, pressing t again would highlight the next menu entry beginning with t (if there is one).


Examples for global hotkeys (key names are not case sensitive):

hotkey [ctrl+a] 'echo fred ;; echo doris'

hotkey [CTRL-R] 'reboot'

# F7 to boot from internal HDD
()/%grub%/hotkey [F7] 'map (hd0) (hd1) && map (hd1) (hd0) && map --hook && chainloader (hd0)+1 && rootnoverify (hd0) && boot' > nul

# Set Ctrl+F8 hotkey to Reload E2B (if E2B menu not working)
()/%grub%/hotkey [Ctrl+F8] 'map --unhook ;; map --unmap=0:0xff > nul ;; root (bd)/ > nul ;; chainloader /grldr > nul ;; boot' > nul

Recognised keys are non 0x0000 entries in the following table (e.g. ctrl+1 is not supported, but ctrl+2 is supported).

shift+, ctrl+ and alt+ can be prefixed (not case sensitive) - e.g. alt+= (+ can actually be any character as it is ignored - e.g. alt-f or altZf will work for alt+f)

See here for list of scan codes generated by the BIOS.

hotkey recognises these keys:
