You can however boot to WEE because bootmgr allows you to specify an MBR file in the BCD and then load grldr from a different partition. Also grub4dos expects to find the grldr on the boot partition and nowhere else.

If you want to run grub4dos from a Windows 7 system that uses BitLocker, you cannot place the grldr file on the encrypted BitLocker system partition because the volume will be encrypted and therefore not recognised by grub4dos. The echo commans is not an inbuilt command of wee. Note: This uses the echo executable for grub4dos which also runs under WEE. Run a 32-bit programs designed for WEE, such as echo Note: KERNEL.SYS is the kernel of FreeDOS. WinMe, MS-DOS 6.22 and all others are not bootable.įind the partition containing kernel.sys and boot kernel.sys Note: Only IO.SYS of Win9x can be supported. Like ntldr and others, vmlinuz here is treated as an executable program of WEE.įind the partition containing io.sys and boot io.sys Note: The initrd argument should immediately follow the vmlinuz. boot/vmlinuz /boot/initrd.img root=UUID=%UUID% ro acpi=noirq And so can GRLDR and GRUB.EXE of grub4dos.

To install WEE to a disk's boot track using weesetup type: In this example we are going to use WEE to load grub4dos (grldr) - this is just an example, you can make your own WEE menu. WEE can boot up from IO.SYS (Win9x), KERNEL.SYS (FreeDOS), VMLINUZ (Linux), NTLDR/BOOTMGR (Windows), GRLDR (grub4dos) and GRUB.EXE (grub4dos). WEE should only be used on modern systems (after the year 2000) as it only uses Extended Int 13h EBIOS calls. You can load WEE from a wee63.mbr file (for instance, you can use BCDEdit or EasyBCD to add a boot entry to the Windows 7 BCD so that you can boot to WEE and then from there boot to whatever you like. Install WEE to the boot disk boot track (it modifies/replaces the MBR and the following sectors, up to 63 sectors) WEE is not suitable for use with Easy2Boot+Clover. more reliable) to use a WEE command to directly find and load a bootloader (such as NTLDR) rather than boot from a partition bootstrap directly. WEE supports FAT12/16/32, NTFS and ext2/3/4, currently (Jan 2012) - no other file systems are supported. Note that WEE does not access CD-ROMs/DVDs or ext4 filesystems. Also, wee may be more successful at booting 'difficult' systems that don't seem to want to boot using grub4dos and just display a flashing cursor (as no 2nd stage grldr file is required).

The main advantage of wee is that it does not need to load a secondary file like the grldr file because a much reduced version of the grldr code is contained within the boot code itself (sectors 1-62).
WEE is a small cut-down boot manager which is based on grub4dos. This Stage 1 boot code then looks for and loads the 2nd stage file grldr which contains all the grub4dos functions that we know and love!
Grub4dos is a 2-stage boot manager - the first stage is the boot code which is loaded by directly reading sectors from a disk by the BIOS when it first boots.
