Criar uma pen boot através do Ubuntu

[rei007]

Viva,

Depois de uma pequena pesquisa encontrei isto:

Passo a transcrever algo que funcionou:

Citar:OK, after unsuccessfully trying all methods mentioned here, I finally got it working. Basically, the missing step was to write a proper boot sector to the usb stick, which can be done from linux with ms-sys. This works with the Win7 retail version.

Here is the complete rundown again:

Install ms-sys, if it is not in your repos get it here.

Check what device your usb media is asigned - here we will assume it is /dev/sdb. Delete all partitions, create a new one taking up all the space, set type to NTFS, and set it bootable:

# cfdisk /dev/sdb

Create NTFS filesystem:

# mkfs.ntfs -f /dev/sdb1

Mount iso and usb media:

# mount -o loop win7.iso /mnt/iso

# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb

Copy over all files:

# cp -r /mnt/iso/* /mnt/usb/

Write Windows 7 MBR on usb stick:

# ms-sys -7 /dev/sdb

...and you're done.

After all that, you probably want to back up your usb media for further installations and get rid of the iso... Just use dd: # dd if=/dev/sdb of=/win7.img and reverse if/of next time you want to put the Win7 installer onto usb.

As always, double check the device names very carefully when working with dd.

Tem lá outras soluções.
