Multiboot and FDISR

[Longboard]

All peaceful!

I had a good encounter with Raxco support after copy produced some errors: very helpful: all fixed so far.

Thought I would lob a little question:

If I set up a multiboot system, would FDISR have a role protecting each partition I booted into?

I imagine I would have to install FDISR to each bootable partition?

Likely conflict with IFW/IFD/Bing as imager if BINg installed as boot manager?

Hi LongBoard.

This is a thread i started a few day ago with pretty much the same topic.
The problem with multiboot option would be that FD-ISR intefere with your current boot loader.

The FD-ISR pre-boot code in the MBR contains the exact disk sector for the $ISR.BIN file.
Even when you are able to hide your current system partition and renumber the second primary partition, it won't work.
The reason is that FD-ISR isn't reading the NTFS file table in order to find that $ISR.BIN in the current system partition.

HHmmm
Sounds a bit complex :(
-{ Quote: "Maybe in the future there will be an option to place the FD-ISR code in the bootrecord of the Windows partition, that way you have GRUB in the MBR and FD-ISR one step later when you select to boot Windows.
But that is still on the wish list." }-
That might be nice!

Also love to have CD or floppy boot option: maybe that way could access FDISR in different boot partitions if required. Or is that nonsense?

@f3x, thanks, sorry didn't see that.

Regards.
