Spinrite on a Dual Boot, Error: not a regular file
by 3Focus1 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#53WH2)
Hello !
My wife and I are overseas looking at a humanitarian organization and there's a pile of external drives which need help. I've heard good things about Spinrite and would like to get it going on my dual-boot laptop. Here's what I have, which I saw on RDANNER's post, which has been adapted close to my situation, but not quite, because it does not work.:
menuentry "Bootable ISO Image: SpinRite" {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='hd0,ext6'
if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,ext6 --hint-efi=hd0,ext6 --hint-baremetal=sr0,ext0 02081086-2c98-430f-abf2-f0ffd08e62d4
else
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 02081086-2c98-430f-abf2-f0ffd08e62d4
fi
linux16 /boot/memdisk iso
initrd16 /boot/images/SPINRITE_V6_BOOT
}
