Topic: Boot from hard drive (local os) not working (USB)

OK

One more minor problem I ran into when booting ezboot from usb. The command: boot 80 will only cause the menu to reload (booting into usb again) instead of booting from the local hard drive...

Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks

Yes there is a solution to this problem :;):

First of all, problem is caused by that USB device is not the first bootable partition :O
And when EasyBoot tries to boot from second harddisk, it fails.
I'm pretty sure you used my script 'easyboot-usbV2.script' to USB device ???

Anyway... Solution to problem is to copy 'harddisk.img' from my script-folder 'balder\USB_Resources' to folder EZBOOT and use menu command:  run harddisk.img
This solves the problem with a breeze

If you instead have used 'Burn' in EasyBoot this shouldn't happen
Note: in some rare cases EayBoot can fail anyway, and in those cases, you use solution above

I also notice you are a dedicated user to EasyBoot - nice things going 'your way' even there are some 'bumps' on the road before everything works alright (same to me in many cases :( )
