I have on my computer a 800MB winxp install on first partition (windows C:\), this is called HD0,0 in menu.lst. Kernel (HD0,2)/boot/vmlinuz ramdisk_size=6666 root=/dev/ram0 rw autoexec=xconf telinit~4 changes=/mnt/HDa3/slax/ĩ. # The old install method of booting via the stage-files has been removed. Open menu.lst in a texteditor, preferrably wordpad, delete origin and copy / paste following: Now follows the sensitive part, do not turn off your puter at these moments:Ĩ. Copy the files 'grldr', 'grub.exe' and 'menu.lst' from the grub4dos extraction in your temp folder into C:\ħ. Copy and paste at same place will do, giving you both 'C:\ntldr'(origin) and 'C:\copy of ntldr'(backup) at your 'C:\'.Ħ. Copy the file C:\ntldr in your windows xp root directory, the copy is your backup. Copy the directories 'boot' and 'slax' from your slax cd-iso or slax usb-extract into your new partition.ĥ.
