/winnt instructs GDisk32 to create an ARC style entry and must be used if the
target operating system is Windows 2000/XP. If this switch is not used, then
GDisk32 creates an entry as if the target operating system is not Windows
2000/XP.
/sysfolder lets you specify the Windows system folder on the target operating
system. The system folder is usually Winnt. If the system folder is not Winnt,
then provide the path to this folder, but do not include the root directory.
For example, use /sysfolder:"2k\WinNt", not /sysfolder:"f:\2k\WinNt".
Adding an entry to start a non-Windows 2000/XP operating
system
The syntax for this command is as follows:
gdisk32 /bootini /add /d:diskno/p:partno /desc:description
[/inifile:filename] [/bsectfile:filename] [/r]
This entry to boot.ini references a boot-sector file used to continue the boot
process.
The entry has the following format:
full path to boot sector file\boot sector file="description"
For example:
C:\bootos2s.dat="Boot OS/2 System"
When adding this entry, GDisk does the following:
Reads the first sector of the targeted partition (boot sector).
Writes out the contents of that sector to a boot-sector file.
Adds a reference to that boot-sector file to boot.ini.
The /bsectfile switch is optional. It is used if you want the created bootsect.dat
file to be saved somewhere other than the default location.
You must specify the full path and file name for the boot-sector file that is created
when you use the /bsectfile switch.
GDisk32 does the following by default:
Builds the file name from the entry descriptions, omitting any invalid
characters under DOS rules for 8.3 file name format.
Creates the boot-sector file in the root directory of the C drive and gives it a
.dat file extension.
For example:
gdisk32 /add /d:1 /p:2 /desc:"*** Boot OS/2 ***"
