I don't see the core.img file in the sda4/boot/grub (All) directory.

rmcellig,

what do you see in sda4/boot/ ?
do you have sda4/boot/i686/ ? what is in it?
or
sda4/boot/grub/i386-pc/ ? what is in it?

also
you write
I replaced the code already in the Grub4dos generated menu.lst with the one you posted. Didn't work. I get this error:
Booting Manjaro Linux boot (sda4/boot)
and then
setting root to (hd1,3)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
but your GParted picture showed sda4 as ext4
that seems strange

rmcellig,

one more picture please, what is in /sda4/boot/grub/i386-pc ?

The picture for /sda4/boot/ shows vmlinuz-38-i686 crossed in red.
Is this a broken link?
Can you check on that? Properties should show you.

Do you see any files in /boot/grub/i386-pc that might be useful?

rmcellig,

there is a core.img in /boot/grub/i386-pc
now you can try rcrsn51's suggestion, modified for /boot/grub/i386-pc:

Code: Select all

 title Manjaro Linux boot (sda4/boot)
uuid 3534475a-d82b-4e8e-91c3-e253b619cfbe
kernel /boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img
or perhaps ? [from flash drive]

Code: Select all

 title Manjaro Linux boot (sda4/boot)
root (hd1,3)
kernel /boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img

Code:
title Manjaro Linux boot (sda4/boot)
uuid 3534475a-d82b-4e8e-91c3-e253b619cfbe
kernel /boot/grub/I386/core.img


This is what finally worked for me. I learned something else going through this exercise and I thank everyone who helped me in this thread. As usual, I am very grateful!

I'm back after all these months. I just installed the latest manjaro 0.8.8 onto my usb stick using unetbootin.

I want to create a grub menu using grub4dos. So, I booted my slacko CD and opened grub4dos to create the menu.lst file

/dev/sdc2 is where Manjaro installed on my usb stick. These are the files and directories installed in this partition:

file:///media/MANJARO/EFI
file:///media/MANJARO/isolinux
file:///media/MANJARO/loader
file:///media/MANJARO/manjaro
file:///media/MANJARO/ldlinux.sys
file:///media/MANJARO/menu.c32
file:///media/MANJARO/syslinux.cfg
file:///media/MANJARO/ubnfilel.txt
file:///media/MANJARO/ubninit
file:///media/MANJARO/ubnpathl.txt

So how can I configure grub4dos so that it boots properly based on the info I listed above?
