install ISO file to hard disk 1 Year ago Karma: 0
Hi huisinro

Could you please help me with the following setup?

Using commercial version of VBoot 2, I'd like to install windows 7/vista/2008 from an iso on to a hard disk and not VHD file.

My menu entry is like this:
menuentry "Install windows 7" {
vboot cdrom=(hd0,1)/iso/ws/732.iso boot=cdrom
}

I then click on install now, but it tells me that cd/dvd driver is missing.

I understand that if we were installing to a vhd file when the install now comes up one should enter:
vbootctl setup to load the virtual disk drivers.

But in this case I'm installing to the harddisk so why do I get the cd/dvd drive is missing?

did you run "vbootctl setup" from cmd line after boot? Your grub menu is correct.

you can also run this command:

vbootctl mount c:\iso\ws\732.iso

the iso file needs to be mounted after boot, then you should be able to proceed to install to a real hd.
