GRUB4DOS BOOT WINDOWS 7 PORTABLE
If you have Audiophile Optimizer, you can use this to compact the OS, and it saves about 1.5G.Grub4dos is mainly a boot manager which can be installed in a pen drive or portable hard disk to use as a parallel grub if ur on board grub is down.this can be also used to install certain linux os directly from the iso in the hard disk.This mainly work for ubuntu linux mint and puppy iso’s.tthe grub can be also used to log in to the xp and windows 7 if the bootloader is lost.įirst we need to install the grub4dos into the pendrive.get the grub4dos from following linkĪnd unzip to get grubinst_gui.exe and run it. Note: After installing Server 2012 datacenter gui version, and updating a few drivers, and installing my usb audio driver, the size was about 9.2G. Note that it won't make a fractional size, I actually tried to make it 10.5, but it made it 10G instead. It would be hard to make it smaller, to figure out what you can safely remove.įirst time, I made a 12G VHD, per the instructions, but I decided that was bigger than I needed. And that makes sense, it is easy to make it larger, you just have to add some space to the VHD. I found a utility to make a VHD larger, but I haven't found an easy way to make it smaller. The VHD size is subtracted from the amount of RAM you have, and anything left is available for system RAM. The VHD size matters because the smaller the VHD, the more RAM you have for system use. Make sure it is fixed size, and pick a location and name for the VHD file.
