"'BOOTING FROM HARD DRIVE
Things needed:
A Lilo or GRUB boot loader installed and working.
The lastest Parted Magic iso.
A working Linux Distro.
First we'll open the iso file with these comands:
patrick@partedmagic:~$mkdir iso
patrick@partedmagic:~$mount -o loop /path/to/iso/partedmagic-livecd-1.X.iso iso
patrick@partedmagic:~$cd iso
patrick@partedmagic:~/iso$ ls
partedmagic isolinux
I have decided to boot from my windows drive that is mounted on /mnt/windows:
patrick@partedmagic:~/iso$ cp -a * /mnt/winows
I need to update my boot loader so it can find the bzImage and initrd files. My windows
drive is /dev/hda1.
For GRUB add this to menu.lst:
title partedmagic
root (hd0,0)
kernel /isolinux/bzImage root=/dev/ram0 initrd=initrd init=/linuxrc ramdisk_size=67000
initrd /isolinux/initrd
For lilo add this to lilo.conf:
image= /mnt/windows/isolinux/bzImage
label = partedmagic
initrd = /mnt/windows/isolinux/initrd
append = "init=/linuxrc"
root = /dev/ram0
ramdisk=67000
Be sure to run /sbin/lilo!
Now reboot the computer and select partedmagic from the boot menu. When the Parted Magic LiveCD/USB Extra Boot Options comes up select "Pick boot device".
Now type the name of the device to boot from in the box.
After hitting "OK" we will be returned to the main menu. Select "Done" and the system
will boot.
That's it!

"'Instructions - installing Parted Magic to a USB stick
Download the latest version of Parted Magic LiveUSB. You should have a file called
partedmagic-liveusb-1.X.zip, where 1.X is the current version. Unzip that file to
your USB stick and you can do this in Linux using the unzip command, or using
Winzip in Windows.
Then run syslinux, which will install the bootloader needed for Parted Magic to be
able to boot from the USB stick. Syslinux can be downloaded at
http://syslinux.zytor.com
or from here:
http://partedmagic.com/downloads/syslinux/syslinux.exe.zip
in Linux type:
syslinux /dev/sda1
if your USB drive is found at /dev/sda1.
in Windows type:
syslinux.exe E:
if your USB drive is found at E:
This should make your USB stick bootable.
