My own configuration file for GRUB2 to boot various live distributions of Linux-based operating systems, along with some system tools. I tried to include a lot of sample configuration entries, even if I don't currently use them, so it may help others. Exceedingly long blog post: http://tehfishyblog.logdown.com/chips/306146-a-homemade-ultimate-bo…

| # If you get an error about failing 'to get a canonical path', or folders not existing on the device, then again, you need to run the command as a privileged user. | |
| # If you get errors concerning a bad superblock, and unable to install grub, try rewriting the filesystem again. | |

| # DWY - Doesn't work yet. Obviously incomplete, or tested and no working combination of boot information has been found yet. | |
| # Untested - Boot information copied from some source, but not executed/tested yet. | |
| # WIP - Work in progress. DWY, but has focus for eventually producing a success result. | |
| # For variables, be sure to use double-quotes to have them actually resolve in the string. | |
| # Need to re-declare variables inside sub-menus because they open a new "context"..... great.. | |

I had to extract the ISO for Windows 7,8.1,& 10 and put them on an NTFS partition on a usb drive. With a small linux partition on the front.
working
menuentry 'Windows 10' {
set root=(hd0,7)
insmod part_msdos ### This line is not necessary ###
insmod ntfs ### This line is not necessary ###
insmod ntldr
drivemap -s (hd0) ${root} ### This line is not necessary ###
ntldr /bootmgr
}
I had to include this line insmod ntfscomp to make it work..
Unfortunately, Secure Boot won't allow booting loop ISO's.
Hi,
I just used your live elementaryos entry with great success. Thank you so much
@ajfmo: My knowledge is limited, so I would just say whichever articles you find searching online.
@shamilbi: Swear I had tried that, and this config is annoying to test, but added the change, thanks.. Maybe I tested it earlier using a longer line like in bash with an assignment as well and found it didn't work, so removed it earlier.
@grechen: I don't know much about all of this, so I would just search for common boot strategies that I find online on Q&A sites, wiki article collections, GitHub or other online source repositories for popular projects like Rufus, or dig into the ISO/package file itself and copy that completely or partially and check OS manuals if that still doesn't work. Seems like paulotate recommends that Rufus does support booting that OS image, and only using the 'legacy' mode option.
@OmaKing: They are paths for the other utilities to help save writing the complete path manually and repeatedly, but also allows for more efficient, automatic changes by only updating the variable.
@verndog I probably need to explore more EFI booting options, at least to work with a Chromebook I have.

hi, when i try to boot from live iso my system give error "Secure boot forbids loading module from (hd0,gpt9)." I have Kde Neon user edition installed on sda9 and iso file located on an ntfs patition (hd0,gpt5). Is it necessary to disable secure boot or is there any workaround?
And is it necessary to add gpt before partiton number
