Hi,
I copy the HBCD folder to my usb.

The menu.lst is ...


title Start Hiren's BootCD\n
find --set-root /HBCD/boot.gz
kernel /HBCD/memdisk
initrd /HBCD/boot.gz

and / or


title Hiren's BootCD (Alternative Boot Method)\n Using Grub4Dos map
find --set-root /HBCD/boot.gz
map --mem /HBCD/boot.gz (fd0)
map --hook
chainloader (fd0)+1
rootnoverify (fd0)
map --floppies=1
boot

============
The 2 commands above work in PC with no hidden first partition.

However my laptop acer and dell has
primary hidden partition hd1, partition1
primary unhidden partition hd1, partition2  <--- os is here

Now when i boot the grub4dos bootable cd or usb I got an error msg

find --set-root /HBCD /boot.gz
error 15 : file not found

How do i fix this?   Thanks

You are right – This type of hided partition is “a never-failing source to problems” :(
Note: This is mostly an installation/restore partition ???  

You can test (no guaranties though) following:
Use my easyboot-iso.script and check “Use bcdw* -command” to see if it solves this problem :;):
