      I wondered if anyone has had luck adding the newer Hiren’s BootCD PE disk to boot from FOG’s advanced menu. This is a community updated version of the old Hiren’s boot CD based on Windows 10x64.

        I would also be interested. You have tried this tutorial?

        Include any ISO in the FOG Bootmenu - Hirens

          I have, but the “new” Hirens seems to require something different.

              Good link. I hadn’t seen that one before. That helped me get further than I have. Almost boots, but I get an error after it starts.

              Resource exceeds length of file
              Emulating drive 0x01
              FATAL: no bootmgr.exe
              Press a key to reboot...

                @Scott-B Understand that link is for BIOS based computers. I might expect the UEFI mode computers will need a bit different boot kernel.

                Looking at that error message again, why is it asking about bootmgr.exe that is a “MS Windows” thing. The Rescue CD of the link appears to be booting a linux (variant) kernel.

                Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

                  Tested and working configuration for Hiren’s BootCD PE x64 (v1.0.1)

                  set tftp-path tftp://${fog-ip}
                  set pe-path ${tftp-path}/os/winpe
                  kernel ${tftp-path}/wimboot gui
                  imgfetch --name BCD http://${fog-ip}/hbcd/Boot/BCD BCD
                  imgfetch --name boot.sdi http://${fog-ip}/hbcd/Boot/boot.sdi boot.sdi
                  imgfetch --name boot.wim http://${fog-ip}/hbcd/sources/boot.wim boot.wim
                  boot || goto MENU

                  Dont forget to change the BCD, boot.sdi, boot.wim locations.

                    The only way I was able to make it work was by loading the whole ISO file.

                    :hbcd
                    initrd http://${fog-ip}/images/tools/hbcd/HBCD_PE_x64.iso
                    chain memdisk iso raw ||
                    boot || goto start

                    by using the WinPE method I was able to boot but it couldnt find bootmgr in the wim file. I then tried to define the bootmgr and I was then getting errors regarding not being able to patch the wim file. in the end I just tried loading the whole Iso like with dban and lo and behold it worked, though it then limits you to a 2gb ram minimum setup.

                      @truetus Hello,

                      I tried also to boot the Hirens BootCD and same problem with bootmgr

                      Maybe someone has the correct option?

                      To boot the complete ISO takes a quit longer time, right?

                      Thank you!

                        @seppim If you load it over http like in the example it should be quite fast. I use the same method, works fine.

                          @seppim While I don’t use hiren’s software, let me download the iso and see what has changed. I know it worked at one time.
